Yuuuup!!!!! Pretty much agree with everything you said. Although one thing to mention is that as everything is inspired by something that came before If you copy an artist from the 1800s, but there’s a living artist who also paints in that style. You don’t need to give them a shout out. I feel like some artists of today are sooo protective of work, work that’s been inspired by the old masters. I mean Van Gogh copied the Japanese. Monet was inspired by Turner. Nobody really owns a style of art, nobody owns a subject. copyright protection is tricky, unless the person is copy pasting your art. It’s really difficult to enforce. I feel like there’s so much art in my head, that I don’t even have enough time to create all the art I want to, let alone wasting time copying someone else.
Thank you for that I just finished your last course and I’ve been playing around looking for my own style . I have the basics down but I’m drawn to so many other styles that I have to calm my mind down and study these techniques until I feel comfortable to break out my own stuff . I’m not sharing any of this work it’s just private work for myself , but there’s so much to learn it exciting. Thank you for helping to open this world to me . Hello from Sydney Australia!
It's funny because you can totally tell when there is a tutorial on something and I see people in my art group posting something they have done without saying I got this from such and such tutorial, but usually someone will say - isn't that so and so's tutorial. I always say (because to be honest I'm still at the doing tutorial's stage for lettering and painting) got this from - insert name here's - tutorial. They deserve the shout out. Looking forward to the day when I can post something that is totally mine :-).
This was great Becca! Love that cheesy but true line..."When in doubt, give the shout out." We all need this reminder as creatives. Also to the two people who gave a thumbs down for this video....SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!
😱😱😱 I created this nursing heart design & this girl has been selling it on Etsy for years as her own work. It’s still up right now!! And I still have the original post from 2014 where I created it.
You have explained it so well. I'm not an artist. I'm learning little bit of calligraphy and acrylic painting now from youtube and pinterest. It really calms me when I paint. Im in learning stage and I watch TH-cam tutorial on paining and copy the exact thing. But when I post on my insta I make sure that I give credit to that person. I feel obliged to do that. This video was great. 👍
My personal rule of thumb is that when I’m copying to learn I do not share it at all. I keep it to myself. I’d only share with crediting if I first had the permission of the artist who inspired me. Well, unless it was an artist who offers tutorials...I’d share and credit in that situation. But an artist who just posts their work...I’d get permission. I’m not 100% sure that crediting without permission (or implied permission as in tutorials) is legal.
This. Although crediting an artist is certainly better than not crediting them, with social media being the way it is, sometimes copies will get more traffic than the originals which doesn’t really help the original artist much. Artists also have different perspectives on this: some are fine with people posting copies, but others are not, and their wishes should be respected.
I Love Leon's book. I bought 5 one for myself and one for each of my grandkids. I even recommended that our local library purchase a copy for our patrons. Thank you for your words of wisdom.
Yeah, we do copy and learn but we should not overdo it. When we are perfect, we should like to create our unique style thank you Becca for the video! I like your videos
This was brilliant. Next time going to just play this video when a client wants me to copy logos from pinterest. And loving your Show Me Your Florals course! Finally learning the art of watercoloursssssss😍
Great video, Becca! Thank you for touching on this point! I love the "When in doubt, give a shout-out!" 🤣 Definitely a little jingle that ALL ARTISTS should keep in the back of their mind when posting their work! Thank you again for being the wonderful teacher and human you are!! ❤
So helpful. Today only someone copied my artwork on IG and didn't gave the credits. So this kinda baffled my brain. Now I know the answer. Glad that I watched this video😊
I want to have my only unique style and not copy but I also think that i want to letter just like You or Sarah from ensign insights I don't know what to do! I watched your video about how to create your own calligra-style but I didn't understand a lot ethier.... Can you guide me please?
You absolutely crack me up!!! My son is a copy write lawyer......I will have to talk to him for sure....thanks for your video!! You bring a smile to my face!!!
Great Becca...I always thought I'm being influencing someone's work in the name of inspiration was a big crime so try to avoid it by not producing the output in the exact way it looks I would do it like that but I still feel it was someone's technique someone's has it...but you made that all clear Becca, thanks a ton🙏 love from india
Good (needed) video. I understand being inspired by another’s ideas/work. And I just wouldn’t steal another person’s work, and claim it for my own, but I bought the book anyway because I can always learn more. Thanks.
I'm so relieved. I was really worried when I read your IG and FB announcements of this video, thinking I might have unwittingly done something wrong. Since I always give credit to the artist who inspired me (if there was one), I'm on the safe side and that feels really nice :-)

For some reason a lot of people don't recognise that posting their practice art on their social media account is publishing it. That counts just as if you hung it on the wall at The Louvre with your name next to it. Practice art is only ever exempt when it is purely for learning & nothing else ie not published or shared with others.
I would push back on this a little though- I encourage all my students to share their progress photos as they learn their alphabets and copy directly from my workbooks. I don’t consider that copying, they credit me and tag me, explaining that they’re learning, so others know it’s not their work. Definitely copying someone’s work and sharing it without credit or without saying “I copied this from so and so to learn” is wrong, though- fully agree!
@@TheHappyEverCrafter Many people who earn a living from social media do the same, because it benefits their business; unaware that their student is often learning to breach copyright - as a beginner may see those as *your* boundaries & not necessarily as copyright compliance because a beginner doesn't understand what should or shouldn't be published. TH-cam actually enforces a 3 strike process for breach of copyright that follows law. Ignorance doesn't work as a defence as the law is quite straight forward; as soon as you publish (make it so that others may view the art) you are responsible for it. So, for their benefit it's also important to teach students that not everything needs to be published, but to curate & publish responsibly - e.g. Ask themselves 'if there was no internet to show this piece for free, would you still show it, explaining your source of inspiration to everyone where or whom your inspiration came from? Would you pay the relevant fees involved for promotion?
OMGGGG I'm soooo glad you made this video. About "10-ish" years ago, I became officially disabled from my normal job and/or way of life, but I've 💯 ALWAYS been a "crafty person" in a lottt of different categories. {I'm totally not trying to brag, lol, but it's just the truth... Some people are and some people just aren't} anyhoozie, I'm also #ADHD so I HAVE to be doing/creating SOMETHING ... So once I was kinda physically not able to just run out and about all day like a lot of people do, I started watching TH-cam videos to get different ideas, etc.... Well I've kinda found a circle of creaters who have actually all become real friends, if only online and I have as well! But then you know how social media or whatever works, they'll occasionally slip in a totally different and new person into your notifications or whatever, which is fine, but since I DO watch the same 15-20 or so people, I pretty much KNOW who's ideas actually belong to if it's one of my favorites. And if I can watch someone make something {like a VERY SPECIFIC BOW in this instance lol} and I'm talking very specific and original, where she actually even gave it A NAME! So when I see someone (especially a "newby") make this bow like down to the very thing that makes this technique "specific and original" to this person and they totally make it, even DESCRIBE IT the same way, but NEVER give her credit, omg it just burns me up. Lol. And I'm just the kind of person who will totally call you out on it. I may not be ugly or mean about it, but I will DEFINITELY say something to where they will KNOW that I am on to them to where they basically have no choice but give credit where credit is due! And it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT, in my opinion, if you are or aren't actually ONLINE, MAKING VIDEOS! If it's something you are just doing for your own home decor or whatever, copy away. Lol. But it's a WHOLE OTHER BALL GAME when you are sharing it online for everyone to see! ANYWAY, lol, sorry for the novel 📖 lol, I was just so happy that someone who IS on TH-cam and makes videos to say it. I follow quite a few people who have the same style of decorating as I do and I really don't wanna be known as the "copying nazi" lol so THANK YOU! I just hope the right people actually watch it.... Because they certainly need to! Lol... XO from TEXAS! 🤠
let me share this not art related, but maybe it helps with the copy and inspiration dilemma, I was always cooking with my mom, so I inherited the recipes not the written ones but the ones she cooked for us, she is no longer with us and one day my nephew asked if I could teach him how to cook one dish she used to cook for him when he was a kid so I did. He started cooking that dish with me, till one day he did it alone and asked me to try it, see if you like it, I tasted it and it was different, good same base but it had some different seasoned, I said this is not the same flavor, he said I know I used some of the herbs we have outside and gave it another flavor, I got upset and angry he ruined my mother's recipe. Then I got to think, that is how recipes are born, from one person's inspiration someone else adds their flavor and they change. We can't get stuck doint the same thing otherwise we would never have anything new... Let me give you another one with a story I heard you guessed it cooking, a woman was cooking a roast beef and she would cut the two ends of the meat, her husband asked why do you do that? she said I don't know, my mom does it, she got on the phone and asked her mom and her mom said I don't know my mom always did that. So she decided to call grandma and asked grandma why do you always cut the ends of the roast beef and why mom does it too I ended up doing it, she said I know why I do it, I don't know why you or your mom do it, I did it because your grandpa bought me a pan that was too small for the meat to fit so I cut those pieces to make it fit. That is copy vs inspiration. No one said let me see what happens if you don't cut the pieces and they didn't question it till someone asked why... If we copy without adding our own flavor or style we would never know what will come up, it would be awful or something new might come about.
Very interesting analogy...thank u for those examples and explaining the way u did bvuz I pictured everything in my head and probably will always think of these 2 great examples of inspiration vs copying! Thank u!
I'm a bit new to this "artsie" stuff so your video has really helped. Like in sports there are rules of ediquette, so why not in art and crafts? Makes sense to me. Thanks👏🏻
Hi HEAC! For those who may not know “how to give the shout out” you may want to share how to do that. For example on FB or Instagram how exactly you can give your shout out so you’re crediting the source or where you copied from....just a thought.
Happy I heard all that! Indeed it is uncomfortable to begin and copying techniques, you never know if you’re an impostor. But happy to hear it is normal 😅
My friend said I was wrong for copying a drawing. I didn't post it anywhere or anything it was just on my desk when she came over. I felt horrible and like I'd broken some rule I didn't know existed because like she's an artist, I don't think I am I just draw for fun sometimes so she would know what's right and wrong
Thanks Becca, as a newbie to lettering and a learner with watercolour and doodling together with that, this question really bugged me. I am still wondering though..I see a lot of people using the same kind of flowers and leaves for example for that “style” of doodling. If I use them to create my own design, is that stealing? Thank you
My sketchbook is full of half assed copies. I am looking for ways to explode creatively. Envious of those kids who create such detailed concept art from scratch.
Becca, so if im watching your tutorial and I am doing it with you while I watch it, and then putting this piece I created ( I mean you created, and I copied for practice and learning purpose), and I am tagging you on the picture, without any comment or explanations to the picture would you take it as enough credit, or would you treat it as a theft?
Put off all social media, pick up your pen and paper and start scribbling for a long time. Experiment and dear to make faults and weird stuff. Doing this gives me my best ideas. 🤷🏻♀️ Also my most freakiest 😂
I had an idea for a villain I was making. I wanted them to have a design where they looked like a black skeleton, and had green electric, almost radioactive looking flames covering their body. I also wanted their outfit to be a well tailored suit. And i wanted them to be a business type man that was like a crime or lord or something along those lines. Then one day when I was in English class, one of the words we learned for vocabulary was “blight” which basically meant something that completely destroys or damages something. And I thought “perfect! That’s what I’ll call him”. A few months later I started watching Batman Beyond the Animated Series, and fuck me the main villain was a dude named Blight who was a corrupt business man whose ability was that his skin turned into radioactive green skin that allowed you to see his skeleton which was black. The only difference between the two was that he didn’t have green flames coming off him, and his outfit was almost always tattered up. It sucks cuz the character I made was meant to be the main villain of the story.
Rename the character! It was entirely coincidence, so the names matching is kinda funny, lol. But yeah, if you really want to keep the character, I'd change the name. Synonyms of blight are:scourge, plague, wither, wreck... idk some are name worthy but I'd keep the character! Seems like you put a lot of work into it /gen
LOL, I saw you Kenny Loggins, Danger Zone!! This was such a great video, your advice is great. Can we discuss your nails...I know the why behind the black color but are they gel, regular polish? Spill!!!
I find myself stuck in a situation... people ask me to paint something they saw online. I do the painting for them but do not post it because I feel bad that it's something I didn't create. Any tips on what to tell people if she ask to make something.. i usually say I can use this as in inspiration but I will not copy the same colors, etc, do you suggest anything else..?
What if someone wants a piece of yours that you painted from a tutorial from another artist? Can you sell it to them if they ask to buy it? Can you give it to them? I've been confused by this.
You should not use another artist's tutorial designs on merchandise for sale. You can take inspiration from tutorials but should not use someone else's tutorial designs for profit.
Here's dumb question of the day. What is the best way to credit the artist you might be copying? Is it a hashtag? Or just @name of artist within you comment? Thanks!
I would do all of the above: tag them, link to their profiles and/or websites, and specifically credit them in the description. The information should be easy to find and not buried at the bottom of a post.
I‘ve tried to COPY your work but, can’t as I‘ve written in my style for many, many years. As, I‘ve only used at home I assume I don’t need to name you.
In writing stealing is okay as long as you don't get caught or in other words if you take "inspiration" from somewhere but if what your writing ends up looking like a crappy shameless rip off of something else then you've obviously something wrong.
Ok...but can you name the drawing of flowers,for example,a copy? ...flowers...they all look the same,it's just copying. And the sad part is that big artists,as I see on instagram,copy from pinterest and not credit,cause they are like untouchable. Which is disgusting.
I'm here cause the movie Black Swan was just too similar to Perfect Blue and the fact that the director even denied it is fucking shit, the movie was still great tho and the actors were top tier but bruhh why the director have to deny that😑
Yuuuup!!!!! Pretty much agree with everything you said. Although one thing to mention is that as everything is inspired by something that came before
If you copy an artist from the 1800s, but there’s a living artist who also paints in that style. You don’t need to give them a shout out. I feel like some artists of today are sooo protective of work, work that’s been inspired by the old masters. I mean Van Gogh copied the Japanese. Monet was inspired by Turner.
Nobody really owns a style of art, nobody owns a subject.
copyright protection is tricky, unless the person is copy pasting your art. It’s really difficult to enforce.
I feel like there’s so much art in my head, that I don’t even have enough time to create all the art I want to, let alone wasting time copying someone else.

I’m so sorry that happened to you!! Ugh, so frustrating!!
Having characters that have a similar hairstyle, hair color, clothes or personalities isn’t copying. Most people just think of the same thing.
What
That does depend on how much is taken from a character, especially the name.
You have explained it so well. I'm not an artist. I'm learning little bit of calligraphy and acrylic painting now from youtube and pinterest. It really calms me when I paint.

I just found the book you recommended and a looking forward to it. You've gotta love a book that practically opens with a David Bowie quote.
BOWIE!!! 😍😍😍

Always such a joy to watch... and try to learn...and oh yes ..congratulations on your engagement.
Omg this video was amazing! I learnt so much! 💪🏽💪🏽 thank you!! 💗
Thank you for the book suggestion its really great thank you very very much 😊☺️
Yes it is copyrighted the moment you create it however if someone steals your stuff and you want to fight it or take to court it must be registered.
You can do it without registering if you record the process in any way... Rough sketches, videos or in progress pictures with dates help a lot..
Thanks for doing this video, Becca! Such an important topic 🙌
You are also a Calligrapher?
@@believeroftwelvers yes, I learn calligraphy from Becca and Loveleigh Loops's channel
I’m usually inspired by things on the wall.
Great tips for newbies! Thx!❤️
Thank you for this. You’re quite the leader. ❤️
Love your videos, so concise and helpful. Great information! Thank you!
Happy I heard all that! Indeed it is uncomfortable to begin and copying techniques, you never know if you’re an impostor. But happy to hear it is normal 😅
This is an excellent video, thank you. I'm going to credit you when I send a message to someone that copied my piece.
Really thanks Becca!!!I really appreciate you took this topic..❤️❤️
Thank you very much again!! I think these tips apply anywhere, and not just in the art industry. :)
Do I need to add my name on a pic of my artwork?
Thank you Becca, great tips!

Thanks Becca, as a newbie to lettering and a learner with watercolour and doodling together with that, this question really bugged me. I am still wondering though..I see a lot of people using the same kind of flowers and leaves for example for that “style” of doodling. If I use them to create my own design, is that stealing? Thank you
My sketchbook is full of half assed copies. I am looking for ways to explode creatively. Envious of those kids who create such detailed concept art from scratch.
Your sense of humour☺️thank you for the information
Becca, so if im watching your tutorial and I am doing it with you while I watch it, and then putting this piece I created ( I mean you created, and I copied for practice and learning purpose), and I am tagging you on the picture, without any comment or explanations to the picture would you take it as enough credit, or would you treat it as a theft?
Put off all social media, pick up your pen and paper and start scribbling for a long time. Experiment and dear to make faults and weird stuff. Doing this gives me my best ideas. 🤷🏻♀️ Also my most freakiest 😂
omg this was super helpful!!! thank you so much :D
😂❤️ Your jokes! 🤣✨ And by the way, your videos are always good to watch: You are a great teacher.
Nice i am always afraid to share my art work, because someone i going to call an art thief, or someone stealing it.
Thank you so much ma'am for this video 😊
Yes you are right..🤗🤗
Hi Becca I wanted ask how many years tombow dual brush pens last
I had an idea for a villain I was making. I wanted them to have a design where they looked like a black skeleton, and had green electric, almost radioactive looking flames covering their body. I also wanted their outfit to be a well tailored suit. And i wanted them to be a business type man that was like a crime or lord or something along those lines. Then one day when I was in English class, one of the words we learned for vocabulary was “blight” which basically meant something that completely destroys or damages something. And I thought “perfect! That’s what I’ll call him”. A few months later I started watching Batman Beyond the Animated Series, and fuck me the main villain was a dude named Blight who was a corrupt business man whose ability was that his skin turned into radioactive green skin that allowed you to see his skeleton which was black. The only difference between the two was that he didn’t have green flames coming off him, and his outfit was almost always tattered up. It sucks cuz the character I made was meant to be the main villain of the story.
Rename the character! It was entirely coincidence, so the names matching is kinda funny, lol. But yeah, if you really want to keep the character, I'd change the name. Synonyms of blight are:scourge, plague, wither, wreck... idk some are name worthy but I'd keep the character! Seems like you put a lot of work into it /gen
@@ellianadailey ooh good suggestions. Thx a lot

Different countries have different copyright laws/rules
How do you prove that it's your work? Time and date stamp? Can that be altered by others? This is tricky.
LOL, I saw you Kenny Loggins, Danger Zone!! This was such a great video, your advice is great. Can we discuss your nails...I know the why behind the black color but are they gel, regular polish? Spill!!!
Ooo, I DON'T know the why...can you share?
Quite a timely video. Have you guys seen what’s happening with Inktober
? 😳
Omgggg thankssss
I find myself stuck in a situation... people ask me to paint something they saw online. I do the painting for them but do not post it because I feel bad that it's something I didn't create. Any tips on what to tell people if she ask to make something.. i usually say I can use this as in inspiration but I will not copy the same colors, etc, do you suggest anything else..?
Thanks sis😀😀😀😀
Nice
Good topic
😍
What if someone wants a piece of yours that you painted from a tutorial from another artist? Can you sell it to them if they ask to buy it? Can you give it to them? I've been confused by this.
You should not use another artist's tutorial designs on merchandise for sale. You can take inspiration from tutorials but should not use someone else's tutorial designs for profit.
Thank you! That’s what I figured and it makes sense.
Here's dumb question of the day. What is the best way to credit the artist you might be copying? Is it a hashtag? Or just @name of artist within you comment? Thanks!
I would do all of the above: tag them, link to their profiles and/or websites, and specifically credit them in the description. The information should be easy to find and not buried at the bottom of a post.
Hahahah, so helpful! ❤️
Copyright is the default?!?! SHOOK!
I‘ve tried to COPY your work but, can’t as I‘ve written in my style for many, many years. As, I‘ve only used at home I assume I don’t need to name you.
I'm left handed. Help
So basically tip number 2 3 and 4 were all about giving credits
13th
😂😅👍👍
@@evonnesakhrani9515 bleh its still early XD
I had a theory that most things were inspired
i credit you
Yay im 5th.
I'm first!
Second (for those who don't know im a girl) :p
In writing stealing is okay as long as you don't get caught or in other words if you take "inspiration" from somewhere but if what your writing ends up looking like a crappy shameless rip off of something else then you've obviously something wrong.
I was the first to view
Ok...but can you name the drawing of flowers,for example,a copy? ...flowers...they all look the same,it's just copying. And the sad part is that big artists,as I see on instagram,copy from pinterest and not credit,cause they are like untouchable. Which is disgusting.
Hi Becca,
I love your videos but I have a fear of holes and I am unable to watch your videos properly. Please, if you can, change the background.
Please tell me you are joking........
I'm here cause the movie Black Swan was just too similar to Perfect Blue and the fact that the director even denied it is fucking shit, the movie was still great tho and the actors were top tier but bruhh why the director have to deny that😑
Nice thinking
