Curious what your policies are for tracing (certain parts of) your art? (ex. trying to copy hair)

Obviously without posting or claiming to be the tracers' own; just for learning to draw humans better?

I’d rather people don’t trace my art at all

thank you for elaborating when i was too lazy, but yes! there's plenty of free resources to get started with the basics, i like watching john wellington's :) or ian roberts'

“Pratchett went back to older throwaway jokes (like dwarves being apparently unisex) and used them as metaphors to discuss social change, racial assimilation, and other complex issues, while reexamining the species he’d thrown in at the margins of his world simply because they existed at the margins of every other fantasy universe. If goblins and orcs and trolls could think, then why were they always just there to be slaughtered by the heroes? And if the heroes slaughtered sentient beings en masse, how heroic exactly were they? It was a long overdue start on redressing issues long swept under the rug by a parade of Tolkien successors who never thought of anyone green and slimy as anything but a notch on the protagonist’s sword, and much of the urgency in Pratchett’s last few books seemed to be related to them. “There’s only one true evil in the world,” he said through his characters. “And that’s treating people like they were things.” And in the last of his “grown-up” Discworld books, that idea is shouted with the ferocity of those who have only a few words left and want to make them count. Goblins are people. Golems are people. Dwarves are people, and they do not become any less people because they decide to go by the gender they know themselves to be instead of the one society forces on them. Even trains might be people, and you’ll never know one way or the other unless you ask them, because treating someone like they’re a person and not a thing should be your default. And the only people who cling to tradition at the expense of real people are sad, angry dwellers in the darkness who don’t even understand how pathetic they are, clutching and grasping at the things they remember without ever understanding that the world was never that simple to begin with. The future is bright, it is shining, and it belongs to everyone.”

the worst thing ever is losing interest in a thing that you based your entire personality on. Everyone in my life thinks of me as the sherlock holmes person. Everything that isn't sherlock holmes fanart on my blog gets 3 likes. I have a horrible sherlock holmes card game collecting dust on my bookshelf. And i have nothing to show for it i forgot all the names of the short stories
