The original source is the one we say is the original source, its a picture originally published in an old anatomy book, from which all other sources come.
"General outlines, I'm the worst with proportions but it came out okay."
When you say that you are implying it was freehand and not traced, if not how could proportions could come out wrong if you are tracing it????????????????
Thats why in making that comment you are inducing curators to believe its drawed free hand, because the only way the proportions could come out wrong is if its freehand, for a traced work always respects the proportions by definition.
Also when you say that:
"My favorite part in ever drawing is shading, so I had fun and was actually surprised at how it turned out."
You are deceiving curators too, because the shading is copied from the source too, so what are you surprised of if the shading turned out just the same as the place from where you copied it????
Saying you are surprised about how it turned out implies its not copied.
"I didn't even draw it for Steem, it was meant to be a gift for someone"
Right, and you took the process pics to show the recipient of the gift??????????? Please.....
have a wonderful day!!
I'm sorry, are you okay? Is everything okay in your life? Do you even draw? If you do, then you know that proportions suck, and I can indeed, TRUST ME, fuck it up, even if I'm using a ruler. I don't know what you mean by TRACING, are you implying that I put my paper on top of the orginal one? Well, no, that's not how I do it.
About the shading, again, are you okay? I can't shade it backwards, for fucks sake, and OBVIOUSLY OHMYGOD OBVIOUSLY I can suck at shading, even using a reference, people mess shading ALL THE TIME, I used to SUCK at it. The technique I used here I HAD NEVER used before. So you obviously don't even know what I mean by "shading" do you? Obviously because "copying the shading" is the weirdest expression ever, if I'm making a portrait, or anything that ALREADY EXISTS, I have to mimic its shading. WTF. If you know something about graphite drawings then you know there are plenty of shading techniques, and this one I had never used before because it's not usually the way I do it, so seriously. Are you trolling me?
And as I just said, I posted it on steem BECAUSE THIS IS MY FUCKING BLOG. I took pics of the progress for steem, I DIDN'T DRAW IT FOR STEEM. I have never drawn something specifically for steem, and you're making the WHY very obvious.
No, I hadn't credited the source before, and that's your only valid argument, everything else is just ridiculous, please.
Ps: I hope you're having fun, or laughing, or something, because otherwise, the effort you have put into calling me a liar is just sad.
What tracing method you used is irrelevant, what is clear its that its traced.
Would love to see a video of how you trace with a ruler, looking forward to it.
