Exactly. I wish we would move past this tired subject, & stop beating down on those using legitimate forms of working that is as old as the dawn of humanity creating art. And focus on actual issues that matter in our community. Such as tracing copyrighted works, AI exploitation, and real art theft.

Because of ArtFight's recent rule clarification, I've seen discussion on whether tracing your own photos is the same as references them. This is, in my opinion, a matter of semantics. Tracing your own photos IS a method of using them as reference. It is perfectly normal and doesn't hurt anyone. #Art

a four stage image with the words "a way to use your ow photo refs" at the time. Step one, a photo of my hand. Step 2, a directly traced image from the photo. Step 3, a modified sketch to adjust for character anatomy and style. Step 4, a finished painted anthro animal hand.
