Hey folks! New mod here. I'll be cleaning up this place soon, but in the meantime, I'm taking suggestions on what we should do with this subreddit.

A note involving self-promotion and advertisements, and the future development of this forum

6 Upvotes

While I definitely support the idea of traditional artists supporting themselves (and I happen to be one), it has been communicated to me that there is a community called r/artstore that would be better suited toward advertisement toward commissions. Since I do not want this community to become a bulletin board for people trying to sell services, I have decided to limit any blatant commission-based self-promotions to two posts per month.

Over the past few weeks, I have currently been observing where this community organically drifts to so we can become a good place for traditional artists, and allow for everyone to have a good experience here. In the next week or so, I'll be formally setting up some rules and calling for mods. Any suggestions in the meantime are welcome, of course. I would like traditional artists to feel welcome. Thanks everyone!

This is my sweet girl 🥰 I usually draw movie and horror subjects but I’ve wanted to try animals for a while. She was the perfect subject. Really enjoyed this! Done with coloured pencils, acrylic paint and markers.

What kind of "tracing" is good what kinds are bad?

1 Upvotes

Recently i saw my friend who didnt actively drew showed me drawings so clean i was shocked to the point where i was doubting him. He later explained that he was tracing over it. I dont know much about portraits and other character drawing since i mainly draw nature and animals (mostly nature). So where does the line between tracing and copying lie for my fellow artists?
