Then I'll take that as a compliment because I'm not. Hard.
I'd have a lot more faith in that assertion if I couldn't find the reference you eyeballed equally as hard for your animal drawings on the first page of GIS.
You don't improve by imitating others. You improve my practicing, studying from life, understanding what's wrong with your work, and improving on your deficits.
I'm not certain what GIS is sorry?
I also wholeheartedly agree that you improve by practise and studying life. I do that. too much even. You also take influences form artists you love, as artists in question you're accusing me of copying, DerShing and Arakawa admittedly do. DerShing has even listed her influences.
Of course I referenced photographs of wolves. That is 'life study' as you mentioned because I want them to look authentic but its not a trace or a copy. If you can show me where you think I've copied from I can either say 'yes I referenced that photographs because its a wolf, and I can't see wolves on the street like I can people so I need a photo' or I can say no. I used a book, actually.
All this being said I'm taking on board your criticism, just vindicating the insult that I'm tracing. If you think my work resembles The Meek too much I am taking that on board, of course, and thanks for you input. I'm just taking umbrage that I'm being accused of copying or tracing because thats just not the case. However I'm not really going to argue any more. I've said my piece. It looks like the Meek, Great! The Meek is fantastic, I just need to work a little more on solidifying my own style, which if you'd followed me as an artist (which you haven't, of course, because I'm an obscure none
razz ) you'll have seen my style has always been this way before the meek existed, which is I think roughly three years? Something like that.
TL; DR. Thanks, I'm an evolving artist and my style is American cartoon inspired.
