PTR1: SilverSkies vs Captain All That

[SilverSkies]

Referencing something, doesn't mean you find an image in a comicbook or magazine and trace or redraw the entire thing line for line.

The proper and most ethical way to use reference, is to have an idea of what you want to illustrate... lay out your composition roughly and seek reference here and there as it's needed. Having trouble with a certain facial expression? Look in the mirror or grab a magazine. Having trouble drawing an arm in a specific position? look in the mirror, look in a magazine or see how some other artist would have handled it.

Maybe you didn't know right from wrong, but really you'll never improve if you don't branch out and try to be your own person... draw your own ideas from your head. Seek aid when you need to, don't steal other people's work.

Sorry!!!!!!!!! I learned!!!!!!!

Hahahaha....I don't know if you did this or what...but having your real name as 'cheater' and saying that your art is 'inspired' by jim lee is classic....wow...
