Great initiative on making this organization, I hope it makes some big ripples and gets the word out many artists here do NOT agree with DA undermining them. As members of this site we should have a say in how our art is to be used, plain and simple.

oh, no. referencing is far different from tracing.
say an artist is asked to draw a horse. he's never drawn a horse before, so what does he do?
an example of referencing: he looks up pictures of horses to examine and identify the mechanics of their anatomy and uses his new knowledge to create an entirely different picture.
an example of tracing: the artist looks up pictures of horses, but rather than studying them and trying to understand their functioning, he chooses to directly trace over a picture he finds or one that he takes himself.
hope it clears it up for you. but don't quote me on this!

Ahh i see! I don't see the point of tracing, but some stuff i saw on deviantart seems to suggest that "referencing" can be considered "tracing" and i'm pretty worried because i do copy myself, but i never directly trace. Thanks for the help! :3

copying can be a form of learning, in a way. both are significantly better than tracing, especially if you credit!

Finally!!! more people against this dumb rule! Tracing is not art at all! I mean, seriously.
My friends trace alot of stuff and they're like. "Look what I drew!" And im like "no, no, you did not draw that, it doesn't even count as a fanart(sometimes it would be of a character from a book or sumthin...) cuz it was traced." then they try to convince me its art because they used their hands/brain/creativeness...whatever. to make it and I'm like "no...no...thats just not right, I even SAW you trace that!!!!111!!" so.... T_T My friends even buy tracing paper. O_o
The only time I trace is when I like to keep original Lineart of my drawings(sketchy lines and all their glory) to transfer them onto a nother paper that will have the full pic coloured and inked...
which is an entirely different story in itself cuz I drew it in the first place.

So stock images are an exception to this "no one shall trace" rule?

Kay what were you thinking Those text things where it's like
"its"
"My"
"Art"
"Do not steal"
Is VERY ANNOYING.
So not that.
And I've never done emotion things before.
