EDIT: Nvm about their apology video.. they ended up just tracing on another RUclips channel.. go watch my update video about it.. ruclips.net/video/tKHZF2NlyOk/видео.html
Make sure to watch the whole video. I get into how there is a difference between tracing art for practice and tracing someone and claiming it as your own art. I don’t think tracing art is bad it’s only when they claim it as their own work when it’s not good.
yeah- theres too many vids on this-
I make my own art because I kinda practiced myself even tho if someone’s traces. I’ll tell them to not own it (sorry that I shouldn’t reply to you or I sound rude.)
@@Kittykatf. there was, but I knew my video would get a bunch of people to watch and quickly too. Which is good because then many many jammers can be informed about DJSwag AJ. I tried to also talk about it in a discussion to make it different.
Leamon. How can you expect them NOT. to attack this tracer? They are! Despite what you say. Personally, I would have just blurred their name to big crowds and talked to people hosting art contests privately ( If I could. ) and Inform them.
I mean I did trace kitty dog and didn't post well that's why I stopped also idk how to draw e
This person must still be fairly young. All we can really do is hope that they eventually realize that what they're doing is wrong and isn't going to help them at all in the long run. They just seem to be in that "I want to draw and I want to be good at it *right now*" phase. I remember being in a similar situation when I was young, I saw all these amazing artists on DeviantArt and thought "I want to be like them", but I was so young at the time, I didn't realize how much time and effort those people put into getting their art to look that good. It's easy to get discouraged when you see so many other artists that seem to be a thousand steps ahead of you, but you have to focus on your own art and your own journey. It's not a competition, you should draw because you have a passion for it, not because you want to get something out of it. DJ is obviously still far too stubborn to admit to what they're doing, but hopefully with enough time and enough people trying to help them understand, they'll stop tracing and just practice their own art instead.
I just noticed we have the same username :0 (I didn't steal it don't worry)
A lot of artist start by tracing, but then start growing their art. But you not should trace and start by heavily referencing or do studies.
@@EverGreen8222 lol it's funny, my username is Clockwork with the "!" on a different site.
@@SixxOClock lol
Not everyone who traces is young, someone traced for ten years. I have no idea how old they are, but tracing for a decade? My guy you must Atleast be a young adult or teenager
oh hey, i'm the original artist at 4:06! The Spottedleaf one haha, it's my most traced piece; people seem to think they can trace it without getting caught especially bc I haven't been active in years. thanks for bringing attention to this issue!
Oh jeez woah I just assumed the artist would be gone I can’t believe u saw my video! That’s crazy. Im so sorry they traced you, do u want credit for ur art in the description? I wasn’t able to find any of the artists but since you came to me I have.
I was wondering who did that Beautiful art piece! You did an amazing job and I'm sorry that people are tracing you and tbh idk what I would do is someone traced me!
Here are some simple ways of determining if someone is tracing!
1: There are parts of the image that are drawn noticeably different
2: Their line work is unstably shaky, which alludes to the idea that the ‘artist’ in question’s hands were trembly and inexperienced
3: Their use of color theory is severely lacking/non existent. Artists at that point should already have a grasp on colors, so they would be less likely to use black and white to shade a drawing
4: They use an AIRBRUSH to completely RUIN the drawing when it was BAD enough
5: They have very little spacial awareness, when adding their own elements to their traced drawing it looks awkward and noticeably misplaced. For example, the green raccoon tail they added in themselves, as well as the tail in their other drawing disappearing when it should have been drawn behind their legs, as WELL as the lack of stomach in their other drawing when they forgot to trace that part in the original piece.
6: Their response to being called out is severely immature. They tend to shift the blame whenever possible
These are all very tell-tale signs to look out for. Of course if a tracer is clever, they are able to mask these signs. When that occurs the original drawings they trace would need to be present to compare both drawings. There are many tracers of various age groups, so be very careful!
Thanks for this hearts!
Id like to disagree on 2!
My hands are naturally shaky and Ive been an artist for many years. Shaky lines dont equal tracing, in my case my lines even get less shaky when i trace my own paper drawing digitally.
And shaky lines can just be a stylistic choice as well. I really like more "messy" artstyles.
@@Parrotcat
This is where I also disagree. My hand is shaky as well, as I am usually medicated and caffeinated when I draw. That’s why I edit my brushes to have a certain amount of stabilization in them, that way when I draw it self corrects and has smoother transitions. If experienced artists use shakiness as a stylistic choice, often times you’ll see the line art still has intention. The strokes weren’t made absentmindedly, they were guided by an experienced hand. You’ll be able to see that quite easily, there’s also the fact that it has a consistency throughout the artwork and looks pleasing.
The inconsistency of their art style was the dead give away for me
@@heartsandtarts
I didnt at all talk about the situation in the video!
Ofc there is a difference between unintentional shakiness and intentional shakiness.
I made my comment because I dont want someone who (probably) isnt an artist themself and cant tell that difference, to now think all shaky lines = traced or inexperienced
I too often use a stabiliser, I intentionally choose how much shakiness i want my art to have and adjust it accordingly. But tracing is very much possible on paper as well, though it happens less.
Personally, I never understood the concept of tracing someone else’s work - I never traced as a kid, so maybe that’s why. I hope this jammer starts drawing from the ground up instead of tracing someone else. After all, you don’t get anywhere from tracing forever, especially if you’re claiming it to be your own. Lovely video as always, thank you for always spreading awareness! 💕
I think as a younger kid who had social media i traced (and posted online) because i didn't think my art looked good enough, but i stopped early bc i knew it was wrong. I like my art now so I'm glad I've learnt how to draw without it, I'm glad i don't trace and pass it off as my own
I traced the head of something once when I was 12 then felt super bad about it right after and I’m pretty sure I deleted it but it’s been a little bit since I went that far down on my deventart account
I traced someone else art like once I think? (with permission) to try and figure out how to draw in their style lol- I think I did end up posting it, but I gave full credits and made sure everyone knew it was traced
Plus, it was on a realativly small platform lol
I think a while before that, I was still doing my own art, but my friend in school would trace random images off Google (they got peice of paper and put it on top of their school laptop, pulled up a cute drawing from Google, and traced it with a pencil)
So yeah, I would usually do that with them cause boredom
And dw we never claimed the art as our own lol
And ofc I'll occasionally trace a Random photo/meme, or just straight up put an oc on top of it
I still make my own art tho, and dw, I'm a big man if my credits (if I don't give credit I'll usually feel very guilty, even if it's small credits lolz)
I will say that as a young kid just starting out art, I traced a lot, but I never posted any traced work. Thinking back, it actually helped me understand anatomy and shapes fairly well before I used those skills to help me with my original work in art classes. So I’m more on the side where tracing isn’t “bad” unless you post it and claim it as your own work when someone else put the effort into it.
I used to trace a lot and I’m still trying to get out of the habit. For me it was anxiety/insecurity. I felt like my actual art was horrible- so I traced from artists I thought were good.
I'd be a complete liar if i said I have never traced before, because I used to when I was 11. Since then however I have grown to find my own style and I'm very proud of where I am today. I have learned from my mistakes and haven't traced since then. Its good for practice so long as you don't post and claim the artwork is yours, that can be very damaging. With this wake up call I imagine this person will learn to steer away from tracing people's art without completely dissuading them from continuing to draw, because they seem to be quite young and just starting out on youtube. I'm hoping they take this on board, stop what they're doing and make their own way through.
Interesting how they seem to be tracing art associated with warrior cats. Someone suggested Cheeteh Z's art was traced by them in the comments, kind of why this is so personal to me (as part of the fandom) I think the practice will do them good, but the fact they are tracing and claiming it is their own is not okay, I hope they learn this before it's too late
Yeah i used to trace aaalot when i was little and posted it on my wattpad books while claiming it as my own
But i never thought it was wrong or anything. I just did it because it was very fun and i made alot of oc's. It is very embarrassing thinking back on it tho but in the long run, it reeaaally helped me
I just wish someone had told me that tracing was bad LOL
I’m 11 and I don’t trace, but I trace only to practice, and I don’t send traced art to the internet.
@@haxozr same. As long as you don't post it or you have permission from the actual owner and not claim it as your own. Aside from that I do tracing and not share it just so I can practice since I quite literally suck at it.
I also traced when I was 11 but only to show off to my mum lol
This is wholesome
2:06 just a note here, most artists are extremely uncomfortable with people tracing other people's art and as someone who has had someone trace my art before and even credit me, it made me extremely uncomfortable. a good rule of thumb is to not trace people. if you need help with anatomy, studying and referencing actual images of animals and muscle structure is the best bet you have, instead of tracing other people's art, who have already grasped anatomy and since stylized it.
That is why when I used to trace I would use free to use bases and just edit it to my liking (and I always credited to original lines/kept watermark), I've stopped using the bases now but my art has gotten fairly better thanks to them X3
in my opinion, tracing other people's artwork is completely fine if you just never post it online. I used to do this in the past, and sometimes still do when I need to figure out a difficult pose. Learning the fundamentals is always important of course, but sometimes you just want to learn something quickly. Tracing helps build that muscle memory. And if you never post what you traced, the artist is never going to know anyway.
@@BunnyBear04534 oh if you don't post it then it's fine
Taking example of someone else’s art and kinda incorporating it into your own style is fine too, as long as you aren’t straight up tracing.
@@BunnyBear04534 Yes, I completely understand that. I trace myself on procreate just to understand the anatomy and make well-formed art. But I will never. EVER claim it as my own in a lifetime.
thank you SO SO much for making a video about this, Leamon. something really needs to be done about this! i really appreciate you discussing this.
i had told them they were disqualified from my art contest because i had seen proof somewhere, i currently can't find it any more though!
I saw it again actually! I even saw CJ's entry still there too!
I saw them asking for proof about THEM tracing. It’s so obvious they trace though…
I do trace for practice, but I never claim it as my own. I don’t share my art a lot, so I don’t get my art traced a lot. I understand that people tracing your art is irritating, and I think that tracing is OK as long as you give credit to the person who actually drew it.
Omg I do that to and Im still learing 💜
I remember tracing when I was younger, but now I draw on my own and make my own art, I mainly draw dragons and other stuff
I only use art as a pose inspiration just draw the circle and oval things how there posed as then make my character into that pose
@@RaidoDemonSimp666 same I traced budsforbuddies
*base* :)))))))))))
it’s NOT ok to trace someone’s art even if you give them credit, you need permission from them too.
if someone traced my art and gave me credit I would still be uncomfortable, and I know a lot of artists feel the same, which is why you should always *ask.*
at school, during our free time we would always get on our computer and place a sheet of paper over it so we could trace like anime art on the paper.
We did also not claim this art as our own. we usually put some thing in the corner saying like the original creator's name. Also, the cat drawing they traced is supposed t to be Spottedleaf from warriors: into the wild. (im obsessed with warrior cats lol) Its obvious they traced since first they have differant art styles for each art they made.. well, not made but copied. When I do speedpaints I show me doing the lineart and coloring, and i do not cut out anything besides me drawing the base art. the reason i cut out drawing the guide lines is because I dont want to make the actual process of the drawing to long, but i also want to make it so my veiwers dont have to skip to the end (because i dont my subscribers or veiwers think my art videos are long and "boring" XD)
thank you for exposing this person. i dont think its right to steal artwork, not give credit and lie all at once. its cheating, and when your cought, its probably very embarresing.
As a kid that’s what I did, I would put my paper on my computer and trace Pokémon. I didn’t even have social media at that point where I would post or claim it as my own. Just a kid thing to do for the most part.
yea!
I used to do that also lol-
For that first part, OML SAME I WAS LITTERALY JUST TALKING ABT THAT IN A REPLY 💀
I read warriorcats too!
So happy you made a video on Djswag. There’s been so much drama going on with them. Rlly good you brought up the topic.
Edit:
I honestly feel really bad for DJ, I bet they are a great person. But just- no.
HELP I WAS GOING TO MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS TODAY DANG IT NOW EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS XD but thanks for making this video! We need to spread awareness.
Same xd
THANK YOU, Leamon, For making a video about this. This is a serious topic and I’ve seen many other RUclipsrs making videos about this, but I always love hearing your opinions on everything going on in the AJ community.
(Also at 4:06 that is SpottedLeaf from Warrior Cats)
hello and yes it is
There’s lots of WC artists who are very talented and I hope that there art isn’t stolen (same with many others)
Thanks for making a video on this! Djswag even accused Jockerway of tracing by creating a fake profile called "Sunny" and posting Jockerway's art saying that they are the original artist. I also really like the art in todays video!
I would say, with you saying “its ok to trace” i would at least add “if you ask to trace/reference that would be ok cause your just practicing your art and you asked permission as well, they understand your just practicing and need inspiration!”. I mean tracing/referencing big company’s or shows arts is ok cause they won’t exactly reply, as long as you credit them! Thats what a good artist in practice should do. I totally agree.
I have a video coming out soon for further explanation on all of tracing since ya I agree with that completely and felt like I couldn’t say it in this video since it wasn’t focused on the rights and wrongs of tracing. More just awareness.
@@LeamonPuppy good to see!
Ugh Tracers These Days ! Jammers Work So Hard On Their Art That Takes Hours And Tracers Trace Their Effort !
@It’s Jammer! Jammer… Please Get On Animal Jam… I Am Sad About Something…
Yeah they traced in my friends art con :(
They also can't draw items correctly but can draw animals? Yikes -
They also take down videos that someone exposed them of tracing
Thank you! I'm glad more tracers are being called out nowadays, and I'm also glad you grabbed solid proof, I draw in different art styles alot, bc I love all those art styles equally and I cant decide which I wanna stick by, and i dont think I ever will, lol, so, because of that I've always been scared that I'd be accused of tracing, but, I'm very glad that theres people like you in the art community that dont jump the gun and accuse people of tracing based on thin evidence and the fact that you ACTUALLY look for proof, ty
Yeah- tracing is alright for practice, as long as you claim it's yours. But tracing art and claiming it as your own? That's not okay. Recently I found a RUclipsr called Minnie Fox (to other people reading this- don't send them hate) but they've been tracing a ton of different RUclipsrs including Cheetah Z. I'l dunno, this just reminded me of them! Brilliant video/art as always Leamon!
Thank you so much for this! You explained everything that needed to be said without hating on them. I assume dj is quite young and doesn’t know the consequences of tracing and/or how bad it is, but as you said, that’s no excuse for what they’re doing. Hopefully they learn from their mistakes soon
People shouldn't trace art and then claim it as their own. I would probably feel horrible if someone traced my art and then just claimed it as my own. :(
Your reference sheet is so cute and I'm in love with your art style! Keep up the good work, Leamon Puppy! ❤
As a friend of jocker I’ve known about this for a while and it’s good to see someone is making a video about it
Now that she’s starting to get noticed by other bigger RUclipsrs she’ll hopefully give it up. What she’s doing is ridiculous. I understand if people like to trace for practice or fun but posting it on social media and claiming it as yours is NOT right. Its actually against the law. Thanks for sharing about this propaganda, Leamon! Hope this chaos stops. I still can’t get over that video saying that Jockerway is a tracer and rude, it’s so ignorant of her and its clearly edited! The what she claims “original” pieces are legit her tracing even more.
I agree!!
Hii judo:p
when i was probably around 8-9, the way i learned how to draw well originally was to trace, but not show or post it. It made me understand anatomy and helped me develop an art style, so use this as a reminder that its completely fine, even good, to trace, DJ was just doing it for the wrong reasons.
Also, you ref sheet is sooo cute! I love the way you drew Princess
I totally agree here. I'm a very beginner artist and for years I traced art to practice and even gave some to my friends but I always told them who it was originally from. Also, I still trace IRL images to start a sketch and get my anatomy right.
This is off topic but, what art program do you use? Your art always looks really good and professional!! Love ur vids
Procreate
@@LeamonPuppy omg same
You’re art is amazing and I’m really glad that you are saying something about this and I trace but I don’t show it to people and I make sure to always say this is on my art that this is not my art and I am trying to find a cool art style so pls don’t get mad and I am proud of you and some other people saying stuff about this
NO WAY
Thank you so much for posting, hopefully she’ll listen to you.
If she doesn’t, I don’t know who she will listen to.
We’ve tried and tried so hopefully this does it.
i really appreciate you making this video but actually they weren't just tracing and claiming the work as theirs actually the situation is a lot worse than it seems they were also going as far as lying and blaming other people were tracing their art instead of the other way around they claimed they had proof which was just their spares but the plan ended up back firing as jokerway proved this and they ended up privating the video. and when people do correct them not in a rude way they respond rudely and still deny they traced that the person they traced, traced them instead
I mention a bit at the end that they lied about it but I didn’t know until after about the whole thing with jocker. That’s really not good.
@@LeamonPuppy thats fine you did your best with the information you had I feel bad for the people who were traced and hope they learn tracing is bad
Thanks so much for doing this video. Everyone needs to know this, and yeah they had a tracing before they did lineart! I commented that o their video, but I think they deleted it 😒 they also delete most comments that accuse them of tracing. If you slow down the time lapse to 0.5 you can just see a light grey trace. Again, thanks so much for posting this! I think a lot of jammers need to know and make DJ know that this is not ok.
I used to trace other ppl's art, but i forgot to credit them. So one time someone commented on my vid (the yt is now deleted) pointing out i had traced, when i realized what i had done wrong i apologized and deleted that channel because i was so emberrased-
I hate that kind of people😤I understand that they are not good at drawing but it takes practice and it is not by tracing the drawings of others that their talents will improve.
great video! also, i used to trace pokemon artwork when i was younger and hang it on my walls, too! it really helped me with drawing animals :)
I totally agree with you. I think tracing is ok, when I first started drawing dragons I traced. But I didn’t post any of it online or anything, it was just to myself and now because of that tracing I think I’ve gotten a lot better at drawing my own art. I can draw my own sketches now and it’s awesome. Tracing helped me get where I am today
That being said, it can also be a bad thing. If you claim it as your own or post it online without permission from the original creator it’s not ok
Ty for doing this it lets a lot more people know about how bad and sad tracing is hopefully they will stop and confess on their own their starting a lot of unnecessary drama
There is one thing I hate when my art gets traced and people say my art isn't mine when it is is really sad
When I was younger I used to trace, but just for learning n stuff and I never posted it or showed it to anyone
I’m glad that you established the difference
I am now very against tracing/heavily referencing someone else’s art and claim it as your own
Omg Leamon thank you so much for this video!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO 😭
I trace other peoples art BUT I always say I traced it and I have never posted a traced drawing so I can get used to new drawing art styles but I’m against people claiming other peoples art
you developed your fave art style on my birthday!😁
A few years ago, I shared a drawing I made of Mimikyu, I used an original art piece of it as reference. I had a thick piece of paper, so I couldn’t put it against the screen to trace. But I was accused for tracing for using a reference
I’m very disappointed. People need to learn that it’s alright to use *references* it’s quite easy.
My best friend actually referenced darkenstardeagons art to develop her art and style. She’s so good at it, in fact she’s been called a tracer multiple times (but she’s not, as she’s drawn on call with me before and done speed draws lol)
I even used to trace when I was 5-7 but growing up on the internet, I already knew it was bad to claim art as mine so I never did
I just wish people didn’t have to trace
Tysm for letting everyone know. I hope Dj sees this and stops tracing. It’s unfair to the original owner(s)
Thank you so much for telling us! I wanted to make the same video but I’m not really a part of the aj community that much anymore.
I would always ask if I could use the pose/base of the persons art.
I trace for practicing my art, not for copying and submitting it as my own!! That would be just mean. If I ever show my traced art, I make sure to say I traced it, and give credits. Ty for making this video Leamon!
I do Helluva boss and Hazbin hotel art and I thank Viviziepop for her characters and i also do other art but i dont post my art cause it might get traced or stolen by someone else I dont want my art stolen like my friend٫ And Djswag Aj learned they're lesson of tracing other peoples art.
I'd absolutely hate if someone traced any of my art which is quite unlikely since I don't post art anywhere. but where you said you can tell it's traced by how well the drawing is compared to the accessories is is so true and that is a definite way to know it's traced but my main problem is if I ever posted art I'm good at art in my opinion, but I just can't draw accessories and other stuff like that and I feel that if people don't think about it, people like me who aren't really good at drawing accessories could be falsely accused of tracing.
Btw I love your videos, and art it looks so good.
4:36, the one on the right is a fanart of big mama eternal I think
Yeah I believe so
4:09
That's actually Spottedleaf! I've seen that art piece a lot, and it represents Spottedleaf excellently. I was really sad when I saw they traced the original art.
Yeah it is 100% ok to mimic someone's art style. If DJ Swag freehanded the original artwork, it would still be in their own style, but you could probably still tell who they're inspired by. The reason why this would be okay is that, one of the artists understand more things than the other. 4:04 as an example. When you see the original piece, it is pretty clear that the artist understands lighting, perspective, and line weight. The traced one feels like everything was put down haphazardly. There doesn't seem to be any understanding of line weight or coloring. You can trace all you want, but your art will eventually turn into something new as you learn art principles. It should also be noted that professional artists do this all the time as well. They study from others, learning from people who have a better understanding of those principles. Of course, they don't claim it as their own and freehand rather than trace.
i think tracing for practice and such is fine and a great way to learn, but posting traced art and claiming it as your own and especially entering it into contests is very Nopeeeeee
the black cat with spots is a warrior cats from the books, her name is spottedLeaf. she was in the first (arc?) book (i dont read the books ;-;)
I love your art! I was paying attention to the art and I was like, “how does she do that….”
Wow- tracings is just wrong! Its even worse if someone (whos not that popular) and then somone with more of a following trace’s theres then claiming its theres. Then they get all of the credit. (Also ps, the cat in the snowy Field is Spottedleaf from warrior cats!
The cat one is a warrior cat one! it's a warrior cat named spotted leaf! and thank you so much for showing this information about the tracer!
What I did with art while I was learning was I looked at other people's styles, took some snippets out of some, made some of my own stuff, and mixed it up to create my own style that I am currently very happy with. I think sometimes there are things I can improve on, but you build up those skills over time. Practice makes perfect, so if you keep trying, you'll get it some day!
I recognise that picture you said looked like a warrior cats character, this is true! That is a picture of Spottedleaf the medicine cat! I've had it as a pfp for my chromebook once :3
TYSVM FOR DOING THIS!!! A lot of us like me posted videos of this, and the more, the better! THIS HAS TO STOP! You're the second person (that I know of, until ppl watched the videos of ppl that noticed) that saw the light grey! The already traced part!
your art is so cute! the sketch looks like a print!
I'm a artist myself, and I use ref sheets and trace for practice. and this is just so sad and bad. I hate when we're viewed as just copycats!
I have different art styles, I would sometimes draw warrior cats with cartoony eyes, and then sometimes I would try drawing warrior cats with realistic eyes. And I post them on Tik tok and I’m scared if people will think it’s traced.
I really like the art u made of your oc it’s adorable I would trace but wouldn’t claim it was mine irl 💉🩸🌡🩹💊💊👁👁
I am on jockers discord server and jocker has been exposing dj aswell and then dj says that jocker is tracing yet she has full proof she don't trace and is trying to cover up the fact that their tracing.
Wait I never knew I was gonna be mentioned on your video- that made me happy-
But it seems that she stopped tracing! I'm happy that she finally learned her lesson
4:06 Actually yes, this IS traced, I have in fact seen the original before and your right that character is from warriors cats (I know because Im part of the fandom), the character is Spottedleaf of Thunderclan and !!SPOILER!! Starclan after.
When I was new at art I traced but for practice by tracing but I never claimed it as mine.
4:34 a lil off topic but that’s actually fanart for big mama eternal
Ik this is not realy retaliated to the video but what kind of app do u use for ur drawing cuz I have been looking for good apps to draw on what app do u use
Procreate
MediBang is a good free app though
Ok thx :)
IDEA. Ask them to make a commision but.. record lol?
This happens to me and I met that tracer in person
Tracing is valid if you are starting out but if you claim it to be your own that’s crappy. And the person can’t say it’s heavy referencing it not you can tell
Don’t post something if it’s traced unless it’s your old art i traced a lot it helps young artists realize they can do this they can be an artist that they can draw lines on a paper it builds confidence but eventually you will need to start drawing on your own your own
I love how you shared your experience with tracing when you were younger because all artist can relate to this
Hey jammers ! I Have a question ? I understand this might not be the right place or time for this so plz dont hate me!
Leamon Puppy is my favourite aj youtuber and i think the community here is cool.
Today i traded my Alpha chest for :
Rare archer hat(rare),dizzy stars,rainbow spiked collar,exotic Marmoset,Drone Backpack (alpha),designer shawl(rare),nocturnal moth armbands,dragonfly wings (rare)
i have asked over 30 people with the vast majority (27) sying thats its G/F but there is still smth that doesnt feel right to me.
Was this actually G/F or was it a L? i really need to know😣
4:34 WAIT IS THAT BIG MAMA ETERNAL-
4:20 I died inside when I saw graypillow 😭 so glad they apologised
6:25 Also for their character and more arts of theirs, i have proof on my community-
Hey I had no clue they were tracing you until after I made the video, I’m sorry to hear this.
@@LeamonPuppy oh haha the art is not mine, I just found it, im Jockeredits that found the other proof aswell ^^
But anyways thank you for spreading awarness! Really appreciate the way you talked about the subject!
@@JockerWay ohh I see, maybe they are trying to claim you traced them? I can’t remember I just heard someone comment something like that. And that makes sense I assumed you were the same person just different RUclips haha. And of course I always try and spread awareness.
@@LeamonPuppy well they created a video about me "tracing" someone. They ended up deleting the video but I still have it posted on my channel.
First of all they literally traced my art and then created a pinterest account named "sunnydoesart" claiming that i traced them.
Second, they created a fake youtube channel to comment really mean things, for other jammers to believe that I was the one wrote them.
You can see the video on my channel tho
@@JockerWay oh jeez that’s awful of them, and ya I assumed a few of the commenters on their vids were fake accounts.
The thumnail... warrior cats spottedleaf right?
I assume so yes, I actually am not apart of the warrior cats fandom but I really like the artwork of the community.
^^
Yay i knew it id recognize that cat anywhere
The last time I traded was when I was 9 ( 13 currently ), I stopped because I wanted to do something .. original !! i do still look up real photos of cats for reference, as most people do. i really try to be more original so people would like my art, im going to start posting soon, in hopes people will like it !!
I still sometimes trace art but I don't claim it as my own I just use tracing to get a better idea of the shape and feel of what I want to draw then try to draw it myself
4:08 Is a warrior cat character, I believe it is spottedleaf
Omg I used to trace art work two but I never claimed it to be my own and when I used references I made sure to tell the people I show my art to that I used references now I can draw without references and proud of my work
It’s so sad that people are tracing hard-working artist’s art. I hope one day, DJ will realize this and start doing their own drawings to find their true art style.
Hello, nice ref! DJswag AJ is maybe just a kid, but kids arent supposed to trace either. I still do not like DJswag AJ’s videos even if theyre a kid. Its immature and irresponsible to trace. Also that warrior cats drawing i think was of Spottedleaf, im gonna draw your oc now (NOT TRACING BC TRACERS R BAD) but i hope you like when i post it. You got a new subscriber, thank you for posting this video Leamon.
Why can't djswag practise his art?!😫
That’s what I said on wildpinkstars video lol
@@zozo-r5l oh ik them lol
Ok amazing video and commentary! But I have one question
Do you ever use inspo and if you do we’re would you go? bc I have kinda been struggling in inspiration and
Another question can I get inspired from you?
i remember when i was a bit younger maybe about 13 i would edit over others art not realizing that it was wrong :( i feel bad for the art i stole and posted
The thing I did was, use body bases but, I always said, it was not my art, and actually the bases have helped me draw really better. But stealing the art and tracing it then saying it’s there own, that’s just wrong. Best way is to practice. But don’t steal.
Someone has traced my art once. But I didn't solve the problem. I made it worse. I gave them hate when, even though what they did was plagiarism, I should've faced the problem better.
i used to trace art a couple years back. i still feel horrible for it. i deleted the account i used after i realized what i had done wrong about a month after creating it. not making an apology before deleting the account is one of the biggest things i regret not doing.
Thank you for informing us! Also the cat in the snowy fiel is from warriors :) her name is spottedleaf!
Do you know a good app for drawing art? I want to transfer my paper base art to digital- I would normally trace the paper base since it is my OWN art i made in my classes, then add coloring and extra details
Procreate is the one I use but it’s like $13 on App Store. Or medibang it’s free
@@LeamonPuppy tysm!
As an artist and about to go to college for art and design, I feel very uncomfortable with this person tracing and take credit for it, it really pisses me off
When i looked at the thumbnail, i was like: the tracing is even better?
Ohh jeez I didn’t even realize it looked that way bahaha
I used to trace from elementary to 8th grade. It was my friend who eventually told me how wrong tracing was and asked if I posted any of it, I had said no cause it wasn’t really my art I had been tracing just to learn anatomy now I can draw with out tracing. (Well I still draw over irl animals. Mainly when I’m struggling with a pose)
I also trace over my own sketches when I’m doing digital lol
4:14 that’s actually spottedleaf from the warriors books in case you didn’t know!
4:12 this is an warrior cat character I think her name was leafpool or something
I know warrior cats because I Readed one book of it
