Scribble and a Ref Pic Rant

 

I’m fighting off a nasty chest cold.  I must have some scraps lying around…

 

Ah, here’s a no ref pic Paint Tool Sai doodle.

 

 

I swear, I used to draw James Iha, selfies, and Pee-wee Herman all the time and all my realish-animu people come out looking like some amalgam of that.

 

While on the subject of ref pics, though, I will say this:  I need to use them more.

 

Believe me when I say that I am in no way trying to act superior when I note that I haven’t used a ref.  If I’m messing around, it’s just easier not to.  And, to be honest, I feel weird using refs that aren’t 100% my own.

On the flip side, I don’t think one should rely so heavily on refs.  It’s good to use them, yes, but if you fail to credit your refs or just full-on trace them and pass them off as your original work this is a problem.  This appears to be a very common practice with young artists these days.  On tumblr alone, I see countless tracings and photomanips each day – with no credits or mentions given, just deceptively passed off as original works.  With the adulation some of these artists get from their followers, it’s easy to see why they do it.

 

It’s a practice that I find as revolting as musicians who use samples and pass it off as their original music.

 

Tracing another’s work in private for the practice?  That’s fine.  Just don’t go posting that shit on the internet later and claiming it as your original work.  Same thing goes for copies of photographs that you didn’t take.  Credit that shit.

 

TL;DR, had to get that off my chest, though.

 

So yeah, if I’m messing around, it is just easier (and lazier of me) to go at it “free.”  Wow, did I really just quote Free!  Iwatobi Swim Club!? 

 

Not sure if I’ll ever really “finish” this, because I like me some sketchy no-frills digital doodles sometimes.
