how do you get rid of writing someone else did on top of it?

i downloaded the pen presser thing and it didnt work :[

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java? The problem could also be with your tablet driver I think, so you could try uninstalling tablet driver, rebooting computer, reinstalling the tablet driver and then rebooting the computer again.

I was drawing something and when I finished, I clicked "Save and post it later" but now I don't know how to get the picture back so I can post it! Could someone please tell me how to get it back?? :?

Choose the board you want to post it on and click "New drawing" normally. :) Your unfinished pictures will be below the drawing area, and you can click them to continue working on them.

Hmm, you're probably having some trouble with layers.


Here's image of layers panel. In the editable you are trying to use (?) there's probably more layers, and they often are named according to what is on that layer so that you know. :] You can change what layer you are on by clicking on them. You can hide and unhide layers by clicking on the dots next to the layer name.

Thanks! I'll go try it. :3

This guide seems very detailed, but I have one major issue: Why is it that at the very beginning, there was nothing that said, in summary, what Oekaki actually is? I still can't tell if it is the name of the art program or a kind of competition.

Excuse me, i have a huge problem and i was hoping someone here would have a solution....

Whenever i click 'New Drawing' My internet jumps and the webpage crashes, then, automatically closes down. Why is this happening and what should i do?

You might not have the new Java update installed ...

Would using scenes from a disney movie as a ref be art theft?

Yes, that would be art theft, you can't trace/copy any drawings, Disney movies count too. You can draw fan art of the characters, even in a specific scene, but you can't trace or eyeball copy anything. ^^;

Oh okay, what if you were just using the character's poses as a ref?

This quote might answer it better than I can:

You can draw fan art of a character (whether the character was animated/drawn or not), but you can't copy already-existing art to make it. For example, you couldn't take a screenshot of an animated character and redraw it just like it looks in the screenshot, since that would be copying art. However, you could look at screenshots of the character to get the idea of how that character looks, and then use that to draw your own art of the character in the same style but in a new pose that isn't based on the screenshots. :3 The same goes for comics/manga - you can't copy the character from a specific panel (i.e. draw your art almost the same as the original), but you could look at the panels to see how the character looks from different angles, what they're wearing, what gestures they use, etc., and use that to make your own drawing accurate to the character without actually copying the art from the manga/comic.

So simply put; you can reference the stills/movie for the character design, but not for the pose, that's against the rules. I also want to clarify that there's a difference between copying and referencing.
Here's a guide to referencing, it's not official rules, but something that many artists agree to be the correct way to reference: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=107079
