Hey, some people need to look at stuff. If you can't be nice or don't like it, don't say anything. Your just jealous beause she can draw good. Some people need to look at a ref.

LOL. Wow, have you seen all of her 'art'? She eye traces off of other people's art. I'm not jealous in the slightest.
Everything she /actually/ draws without copying is really...beginner.

And there's something wrong with that? Because she can draw while looking at something and it turns out amazing. More amazing than you can imagine? If it was art theft, wouldn't this be locked by page 1? Would only YOU go against it, while others are inawe? Would it have 9 likes? Would I be sticking up for her? No. She is fantastic. She can look at something and draw it. I can do that too. There's nothing wrong with drawing good, or beginner. This should be featured, and you should stop being offensive toward beginners.

a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!

You use a ref for basic posing help, not eye-tracing it. There are tons more people who agree. And the mods probably haven't caught it, I've seen theft go undetected for weeks.
And I'M in beginners still. In the oekaki anyways, I'm much better outside it.
She's not fantastic. She's a thief and nothing more.

I'm sorry, but I find THIS rude. Art theft is incredibly offensive to the original artists. Imagine, you draw something, you put work into it, you pour your heart and soul into making it just how you want it. Then someone looks at it, and steals it. Referencing is looking at something to get a general feel for how it should look. This is stealing. It is copying something exactly. It requires no creativity, no effort. No talent. It's a crime, and a bloody nasty one.
There is a very definite distinction between Stealing and Referencing. if you don't know that difference, then I sure hope you aren't looking a any of my art.

The mods aren't wizards, they haven't seen this yet. that's why it isn't locked.
Not only her.
Many art thieves get away with it, because people are unaware of the originals.

Also, if she looked at something to draw her art she should have posted a link to the picture. That way it doesn't look like she's claiming to do it all by herself...

[broodingtulip]

Ya, but still... it's a Zebra. Zebra weren't anyone's creation but God's. Who knows, MAYBE she free handed it? I don't think it's based off any character or cartoon...

I get it, but what if she DIDN'T look at a ref for this one? What, are you some creepy dude spying on her? I would HOPE not. And the others, I think they're fan art.

Please don't bring God into this. Yes, he made Zebras. However, someone else took a picture of that Zebra and from her past practices we believe she eye traced it from one of those photos.
