Redirect to original
Description
"You're just jealous;" the eternal comeback of people who have no other defense but don't want to be mature and back down.Seriously, there is nothing to be jealous of. If anything, tracers should be jealous of original artists. Why?
1. We can legally sell our work. They can't.
2. The comments and praise that we get feel so much better because they're on our own, original artwork. They get hollow comments.
3. We are constantly growing and improving. They will stagnate and get frustrated.
4. We can draw in public and amaze people. They have to do their work in secret so no one will know they traced.
5. When we get good, we can freely draw things from our own minds. They will be forever constrained by needing something else to trace.
7. We can make original characters instead of Naruto with blue hair.
...And so much more!
So yeah. Tracers should totally be jealous of us.
Are you against tracing? So are we. Join the club and help us make a difference

Yeah, the only tracing I do is "inking" my traditional art so it shows up better on camera.

Can't stand tracing, though I do a lot of work traditionally now (I just don't upload them) people love what I draw. In fact a lot of my Sonic pics that I've drawn go to a friend of mine for her little brother, he's a huge Sonic fan.

My friend unfortunately traces art work (including my own) because she gets frustrated that she can't draw although I tried to teach her how so she wouldn't trace...

Whenever i sketch traditionally and show it to others they always ask such things as:
"Did you draw that yourself?"
"You didn't trace or copy anything?"
"you came up with that on your own?"
*facepalm* of course i did.
appearantly this problem is big outside of deviantart as well.

Take a look at a perfect example of tracing: [link]
lol at all the people flooding in defending tracing and taking credit for other's hard work.

All these reasons are so true.
Also, original art actually has expression and content. Traced stuff do not, as they are done for shallow reasons such as personal eye candy, laziness, attention...

Ugh, I see these trace-tards everywhere.
My favorite excuse was, "It's not tracing, it's re-drawing."

OMG... Everything you said up there is so true! My friend used to trace but I got her to stop. Now she's good a drawing!

I'm quite far away from drawing freely things from mine mind... but I'm going toward to it

I couldn't agree more. I love it when people are like "Well you draw book characters" as a comeback to tracing and copying the style of anime. -.- But everyone sees characters differently in their head and doesn't make tracements.
I'm so glad I have my own style and view on people. Like... my art has improved so much by just drawing WITHOUT tracing.

Tracing=Fun
Tracing then taking credit saying it was all you=Just wrong

I'm afraid that when I do a character from another series in my style, I can't sell the piece. Though, I stand for this. I'm against tracing, so every piece of my work is completely original.

well said!
umm...i had problems with reading what's written on stamp, for me those words changing too quickly, but it doesn't change the fact, that the stamp is great. Really i don't know what they thinking...for me, instead of being uncreative, it's just stealing :/ if I try to do this i would feel like I shit...I never tried to trace even whem my drawing skills sucked like hell and i was drawing-noob! I think they have no pride D8

ahh I'm in some wars with tracers, mainly partail ones.
some others found me too and some have to beg to differ.
for all these folks I make lots of gag stamps that serve as the antipode to your anti-trace stamps.

Yes, I am SO jealous of wretched little thieves who have no unique art style or originality. -_-
Don't forget "get a life!" Because telling wrong-doers their doing something wrong means you don't have a life. D:
BTW, very nice stamp!

so true!!!!
It's a pity my subs expired today...DDDD: cause I would totally use this!

Darn xD;;
I have a subby on my main, but I only have it because someone else subbed me.
Maybe I should make some non-sub stamps, you know, the kind you make with avatars. xD

I was also given a sub by a friend 
yeah you definitely should!

LOL.
Fancy seeing you in the new section. XD
I hate when people use, "You're just jealous." *shakes head in dismay*

It's totally the lamest excuse, right? xD
It's even funnier when used in conjunction with "I didn't trace I'm just really good at the style!!111"
