References: references are a piece of art work inspired by another artwork or multiple. References are heavily used and a discriminated most of the time. References DO build up what an artist is today, though. Basically, artstyle. Even if the artstyle is bit like another, atleast they have their differences.

References are literally based, not full blown art that took hours to make. And no can stop me, it’s just that if you do it, you will be called out and I won’t talk to you again.

I’m against tracing but as long as the artist is credited and the tracer doesn’t take all the credit, it’s fine

Ikr people just dont understand that
