Is it bad if I can only seem to do side-by-side pictures?
I'm not tracing, though I guess I am...
Pretty much, I'll print a picture out, get a sheet of paper, and draw, line-for-line the actual picture.... I dunno, it gives me something to do. But I don't take credit and be stupid by saying, "OMG GUYS, I TOTALLY DREW A NEW CHARACTER!" No, I always tell them it's just a side-by-side of a pre-established picture. Except for one of those pictures of Rose-I just used the pose from a picture, bu the looks and everything were original, just not the pose. And again, I let people know.
