Description
■ READ:it IS possible to use Explorer for searching similar pictures in Google! Just go to google.com, click on images button and there in the searchbar is an icon of camera. Click it, it opens a little window where you can put a direct link or to upload a picture from your computer.
Thanks goes to *Olessan who informed me about it
Update: I'm glad to see it helps you guys
Alot of people complain about that somebody used their art in some unacceptable way, and most of them would like to know some way how to find more of those thieves. I know two ways for how to check out, if some other thieves are out there, using my art anyhow and so i decided to make this tutorial, so it is easier to show it all at once without keeping saying it again and again and again.
So i hope this will help you somehow, excuse my english, you know, its not my main language, and dont forget to let us know in comments, if you know also some other way for how to check out art from thieves.
Also don't forget to visit =mydigitalmind 's tutorial for how to make a picture have it's own invisible watermark -HERE- !

Good idea but some bad news with reasons
- who using "robots.txt" can be disallow or not show like /folder or /images in another website who they web hosting because (mine used robots.txt for block all search engine as general results in my dedicated server for saving the bandwidth to stop eats from google images is worst.)
However, good tips for helpful

Thank you very much for this
I found one person on youtube that had been using my artwork in their videos and another three sites had my work up as wallpapers, they even had the nerve to copyright MY stuff on their site too.
Luckily I'm not the greatest artist, so I don't have to worry about pees stealing stuff often.
Found some images that had been posted on other sites, but just as general images, like in forum threads etc, and thats fine, no one is making any money from my work there lolz.

Wow, díky moc za typ!
Škoda jen, že někdy ani to, že autor zloděje najde, vlastně vůbec nepomůže =.=

ale může pomoct jeho nahlášení adminům oné stránky, kde se ukradené dílo nachází

Thank you so much for this! I just picked one of my drawings at random, and sadly found that it was posted to several "how to draw" websites, with artists claiming it to be their own!

Actually this does work for IE. You click the camera icon in the Google Images search bar, then put the image url in there and you're good to go.
