    Every time you say something like "there's no such thing as cheating in art" it makes me feel so much better. I always feel so guilty about tracing a facial expression I was having a hard time with, or using a photo in the background of a digital drawing. Thanks for making these videos! 💜

      I took oil painting in college & the instructor told us that we had to copy other artworks ( & no portraits bcuz they are a whole other level of difficulty) I copied "Sunday Morning" by Edward Hopper & learned alot about not only how to paint a convincing brick building but setting a mood as well.

    Thank you for this video! I’m a beginner artist and recently I’ve been struggling with finding my own art style. I’ve been struggling so much that I was thinking of quitting art all together because I felt that to be good at art, I would have to think of what to draw all on my own without copying or referencing other art that inspired me. This caused me to hate my artwork and not have fun while drawing. Now because of this video, I know that it’s ok to reference other art that inspires me in my own artwork in order to learn.

Now I can create art I'm proud of without any tracing!

    Love this advice! So many times I hear artist express that your art always has to be original and you aren’t allowed to copy anyone else’s art.
    But that’s not how you learn. Copying and tracing is such a good way to improve your skill!
    What’s wrong to do is to to claim your copied or traced work is your own.
    Be inspired by others!

    Yes this is exactly true! People always ask me how I learned to draw and every single time I respond with, “tracing my sisters art when I was younger.” And that’s exactly what I did! I was inspired and would try to replicate her drawings. Eventually my sister got better at art and so did I! I found my own style and now I draw whenever I can.

    Thank you so much for this encouragement, validation, amd affirmantion. I used to do art for fun but i stopped when I was 15 due to personal reasons. I started again about 2-3 years ago, so at age 24/25, almost 10 years later. I copy most of what I draw for myself and for others. Sometimes, I trace it, sometimes i try to do it by eye, either ways I tend to feem bad for it. I tend to feel guilty and ashamed and whenever someone asks me if i drew that, i play it done by sating 'yeah BUT its copied, so..'. And thats not fair to myself. I try so hard, and i choose very carefully and selectively what i draw. I then invest time, patience, and effort and i pour my heart into it, especially if i draw for someone else. My art deserves to be seen and shown. I deserve to no longer feel like a thief, or a looser, or a failure or substandard. I am proud of my art. :)

    i had an idea for the holidays coming up, so you know how you had Octo-brrr? maybe you could do Decem-brrr, with some winter activities! and it could be a deer (or a reindeer,) since its ‘deer’cember, its not the best idea, i know, but i thought it was funny and along the lines of your last months drawing idea! (ps, youve really helped me get back into drawing! i always thought my art wasnt the best and gave up for a while, but coming across your page made me really interested in drawing again, and i did it! thank you scott ❤)

    Thank you so, so much! Trough my whole art school i've been told by teachers that tracing is the worst thing that the artist can do, that basicly the fact that i traced a starter scetch for a big painthing made my painting no longer art. For years i felt that my art is insignificant and not even art. Im not a professional artist, i do it just for myself, and i still though i sas commiting some art sin. You saying repeatedly that its okay to trace made me finally relax after years and now im having so much fun and enjoy painting so much more. Thank you so, so much!

    I’ve been told my whole life that there is rules in art and “you have to learn the rules before you break them” or I could just play
    It’s a nice refreshing experience to watch your content

    That is a beautiful statue. I love the contrast between the traditionally fancy connotations of marble statues with how chill and layed back she's portrayed; not to dissimilar to how one might look, after a long day, sunk into thier couch.

    You have no idea how much your words have motivated me right now. Thank you so much, I am mostly dabbling in digital art. But i am looking to get into sketching, and this was my fear that whatever I draw, it won't be deemed as art because i copied it from somewhere. Your drawings are amazing and you're an inspiration Scott, thanks again ✨

    I've always been a big proponent of copying and tracing. It's how I learned, how I continue to learn, and it has made me a much greater artist.

    So inspirational! especially to me because I'm a very young artist. I 've always been scared of copying because it makes me feel ashamed of not being able to draw it myself. But now I feel better about it and I can learn from it anyway!

  • @profex.
    @profex. ปีที่แล้ว

    I couldn't agree more, and I'm not even an artist! As a musician, I've found one of the most valuable tools for getting better is to copy the artists that I like. It helps you with learning different techniques and especially with finding your own sound after building on some aspects of theirs :)

  • @gareless

    I feel like this whole ‘copying and tracing is cheating’ thing comes mostly from younger newish artists who feel like they need to set themselves apart from the rest so that everyone can see they’re ‘real’ artists. But someone like Scott, who’s such an amazing artist with so much experience and success and has done many great projects, is so secure and confident in his art that he doesn’t have to gatekeep it and instead encourages people to pick up art and to learn in any way they can.
    Thank you for everything you teach us Scott, you truly are magnificent.

    This video! I've learned that I normally feel the best about my original art, directly after copying artwork i like and using that experience to take something ive learned how to do for my own work.

  • @AbiGarveyXx
    @AbiGarveyXx ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve always “copied” my art from others I’ve seen and felt bad, like I can’t make real art because I find it hard to create something off the top of my head, thank you for sharing inspires me to be more creative without feeling bad!

  • @bengibbs1318
    @bengibbs1318 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve never been artistic n struggle to draw a stick man but after watching dozens of your videos I decided to go out n buy a few simple supplies n start drawing. Something I haven’t done since I had to at school. I’ve always loved art but never tried to learn or improve cos I was embarrassed. You’ve inspired me to just try n improve n allow me to realise I don’t have to be good, as it can just be for me n that’s ok if I enjoy the process. Thanks Scott, you really are inspiring.

    I suppose this applies to other art forms too! I am a jazz musician and from day one our teachers always told us to listen, listen listen and copy things for your improvisation That’s the best way to learn about your craft.

    It doesn't matter if you completely "copy" or not. You still added a personal twist with your own are style. If you traced it, it doesn't matter, it brought a smile to your face.

  • @threecheeseburrito
    @threecheeseburrito ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As long as you're not using someone else's art and selling it as your own, it's not stealing. If you only use the copies for developing your own skills, then there's no issue. 🥰
