I remember when I was in 3rd-5th grade I used to recolor and trace art and post it on deviant art. I thought I was pretty cool and slowly grew into my own art style. honestly I don't think it's anything to worry about. usually it's just little kids.

*nods* Understandable! Of course, we all trace over other art when we wanted to draw (myself included with screenshots from tv shows when I was younger).

True, it could be as harmless as just a little kid, but it’s just as likely that a teenager who really knows how bad it is to do things like trace art is.. well, tracing art. And if you do that with my work… while I prefer it not be done at all, I would at least appreciate folks not posting it anywhere, not taking credit for the original piece, and that the work being traced not be of my/anyone elses’ character(s).

But anything that goes past this, I definitely don’t tolerate with my work, no matter your age. Especially if folks draw/color over it. <:)
