Here's the thing.

I really do not give a crap as to your excuses about tracing and all. I don't care. I really don't. It doesn't affect me an ounce.

However, I not only feel that it sets a bad example for aspiring artists who now think tracing is ok, but I also feel like this whole blog is a demeaning cesspool of contradictions.

If you want to be seen as a nice guy, you don't start dissing people who don't have art or don't have good art on their profiles.

Who gives a flying fuck if they can't draw?

We have all opinions and feelings and god damn it, people will judge your art critically, but that doesn't mean you can judge them for not being able to draw. They hold you up to high standards because they see good artists as inspirational and want them to reach their full potential!

No, I do not think tracing is the worst thing, but I think it's a bad thing that needs to be stopped. It's an inane practice that somewhat violates copyright laws and it's not ok in any way, shape or form unless you are experimenting. Even so, don't post it as your own work, because it sure as hell isn't.

One point I'd like to make: if you're this super nice guy, then why a-threaten to scalp us, b- threaten to gouge our eyes out and c- write this whole post in the first place? This is chock full of insults to demean and degrade people. Don't even get me started on the grammar and syntax because we'll be here all day.

Finally, if you don't care, then don't make a post about the whole thing. That is all.
