What's stopping me from taking random images as reference and/or just trace them? No one is gonna know.
>>7917467go aheadshow us the cool art you make with that, anon
Why does this place only ever talk in hypotheticals
>>7917477Because people of action aren't wasting time on here
Everyone can tell. Tracing isn't the cheat code that you think it is.
>>7917477No one on 4chan does anything, applies to all boards btw
It's better to trace/photobash AI. Impossible to prove, and most people can't even tell at all if you're at least /int/ skill.
No one ever thought of this
>>7917467Yes they will know simply by judging your line quality
>>7917467Said everyone who was ever caught
>>7917496>Impossible to proveTrue, just ignore the people who have been caught.
>>7917467If it works it works. People have certainly done that to some effect before. Will look like an out of perspective collage.
>>7917496But if you steal the art yourself, then you can prove you didn't use AI.
>>7917467You could... But if you can't draw it's gonna show. And when ppl find out you'll lose all credibility (especially if it was someone's art)
>>7917748>And when ppl find out you'll lose all credibilityIs there some evidence of this? Don't basically all pros use reference, at least, and most of them also trace at least some of the time?It's an accepted thing in the pro world, it's mostly amateurs and no-draws getting butthurt over it, I assume their moral high ground is another excuse for their lack of skill and work ethic.True enough if you're actually bad at drawing tracing won't help you much.
>>7917490People who actually do rarely post here. they exist, but they dont go around spamming threads about doing stuff
>>7917653The people who got caught are usually beginners and rookies who don't know how to draw in the first place
>>7917767>I can’t help but talk about myself in 3rd person again
>>7917467khyleri made a whole career out of it
>>7917467Is it wrong to make up an image using refrences in a collage and using hem as a guide?Not fully tracing them, just as a general guide?
>>7917467There are YouTubers who make a career of going after tracers, and if you really think that no autistic will notice, go ahead
>>7917467Go ahead, I bet you're too bad to even make a decent traced artwork and if you get any amount of visibility you're actually gonna be found our and then people are gonna ask to see a time lapse of you drawing and you'll end up blacklisted and without skills
>>7918168>blacklistedThe industry loves people who do things efficiently though
>>7917467>What's stopping me from taking random images as referenceNothing? you're supposed to do that.
>>7917467It doesn’t even matter, ever since AI came out there’s been a flood of tracing and “ai-assisted” art being posted by people. Some of them manage to get a big following and even sell their slop on Patreon.
