That is quite fair, I see, thank you for the suggestion.
This is just the 1st non-AI generated image I posted on this site, will take notes for the next events!

This is why I try to provide sources for the references and resources I use. However I do agree that the Minus is being a bit harsh towards you.

Sigh, no idea why people are being so rude.
Going from paper art to digital art is extremely hard, in school we only did art on the paper. I did not traced lines per line, I used others as base and did similar but not traced, even if having similar effects.
As someone in college like me won’t have that much time to have art as a hobby, even thought it is quite cool, I just got out of my way for the badge.

@dhayi
You were able to draw something this good, before you knew how to draw smooth lines? This just doesn’t happen. Ever. Artists always start out drawing trash, and this isn’t trash. And you just happen to throw away the work file, a detail I never even asked for…?
I couldn’t be any more suspicious of you, TRACER! But then I’m not a moderator or staff or anything so it doesn’t really matter what I think. If you didn’t trace this though, then I’m left wondering, why not become an artist? You clearly have a talent for it! Get some practice in for your linework and you could be amazing! So I hope to see more from you, even if I have to wait until next year!

I am the artist of this, I used some other drawings of pose/eyes/etc from the internet to take inspiration and to know how to actually draw them while doing mine
I did not used just one to make it, nor just grabbed an image of base and tried to recreate, just used them of inspiration to make this.
Since this was draw sometime ago, I already got rid of the file too as it had no more purpose to me, what I mostly do is prompting, not drawing myself…
The lines being “unstraight” is because I am not someone who make this type of art, I don’t have the practice to make nice lines nor the patience to keep (re)doing them over and over, I just got out of my way because of this event for the badge

@dhayi
A base is an image that has already been part drawn, that you then add details and colors onto to complete. I assume that is what you did here?

…Or is this traced? Either way you should credit the original drawing and artist.

@Minus
Hello, what is a “base”? I am sorry, but that words means nothing for me in this context. (Language Barier, I am Portuguese, that world literally looks out of place.)

@dhayi
What base did you use?

It’s so CUTE tho!

I suck so much at drawing. TwT
