This was just a goof ya'll. No one was a tracer, I promise. Clip from Half Baked Ep. 16 - SomeOrdinaryGamers (46:00 onward for context, they're talking about crxxpshow) This clip didn't make it into my final crxxpshow video, but it was a lighthearted bit of animation that I still wanted to share. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5rdZIGfbq-MqNU

[@tyleryoung1204]

I can’t wait for your next video. This past year I quit college to pursue my dreams of being a full time artist. Some times it feels like only my Husband understands me but and I play your videos on repeat to make me feel better when I’m in a funk. Thank you for continuing to make amazing content. Your Chanel is what I listen to when I’m stressed. Xoxo from a Gal in TN

[@cuckoophendula8211]

Haha, that's what I was wondering. As one of my favorite parts in your last video was when you had animations of the KZbinrs over their voices, I was wondering if this 11 second clip was something like unused footage. By the way, I would LOVE to see more animations done by you over material like voiceovers, commentaries, and whatnot.

Don't tell the kids that every artist that deals with deadlines has a projector and/or light pad hanging around the studio. They'd be crushed. And never mention there's something called a lucigraph that's been around for centuries...

Don't tell anyone that rotoscoping has been in use for either almost or over a century, either!

Oh my god... EVERYONE was a tracer!? Dun dun dunnnnnnnn!

[@kiarahelen6006]

yup...

[@catcactus1234]

…And even the ones that don’t trace usually have tons of reference photos that they may or may not directly “copy” to make sure the environment, fashion, poses, etc. are accurate. Professional concept artists straight up paint over photos and other images for time purposes. I’ll never understand people who think tracing, copying, photobashing, rotoscoping, etc. is “cheating.” Literally any professional artist will tell you to take shortcuts when you can (as long as you know what you’re doing & you’re using commercially licensed/Creative Commons media).

[@honeydew1678]

unpopular opinion but tracing really needs to be destigmatised. it’s different when you’re tracing someone else’s artwork, but when it comes to tracing shapes like a soda bottle, or the shape of a building tracing really shouldn’t be that big of a deal.

[@jazzpear8877]

Even with tracing others' work it's a matter of how much. Getting an eye expression just right, or part of a pose, or if you like a particular abstract line... I think it's fine. That's sufficiently transformative in my opinion.

[@tez-cat529]

I don't think there is any problem with tracing in order to learn. Its when you claim the work as your own, and are making money off of it that it becomes an issue. Its the dishonesty that is problematic, not tracing in-of-itself

[@shanynking3798]

I’m still learning and really not the best at drawing so tracing outlines and certain shapes really helps me figure out how the line should be drawn/feel if that makes sense and then it’s easier to try draw freehand next time.

[@Middyrose]

Agreed. Especially if you are just using it to add props/minor things or even to just use basic lines to use as a guide for proportions +Using real photos not other peoples artwork. Work smarter not harder!

[@DuskPShermanWallaby123]

Aren’t we all? Tracing is fine for learning and figuring out things, building muscle memory and exploring styles.

[@WhatIsMyLif3]

Yeah but the line is, tracing someone else's drawing and just saying "hey this is mine" but I think it's fine when you trace maybe some body parts and objects.

[@finnthewestiefinnmccool5916]

@@WhatIsMyLif3 yeah claiming an artwork as yours which you traced isn’t ethical or acceptable. Selling artwork you traced is criminal. For your own enjoyment, learning process is fine.

[@YourWaywardDestiny]

I think this is way too funny to be added into the original context.

[@beebear44]

when i was starting out as a tattoo apprentice tracing helped me practice line strokes and shading a lot, and it was actually recommended to me by my mentor lol.

[@joedatura1023]

In general, a lot of being a tattoo artist is about "tracing", aka taking parts of a design that a customer wants exactly like that, and trying to make it as much your own as possible. And yeah, I know, ethically it's not okay, but we gotta put food on the table.

[@hufflepuffleshuffle]

For some reason the paper wiggling was oddly... satisfying???And oddly hilarious. Why it's EITHER of those things for me I have absolutely no idea why. xD

[@Jynxxx5]

Even if you were a tracer…wasn’t everyone a tracer back then? 😂 like that’s where most artists start, I started out tracing!

[@ChibiNatsukiX3]

Tracing is good as long as it’s only for practice. I remember claiming someone else’s art at a young age that surprisingly did not look like a sashley remake oc for crazy San fan girls. And no, I did not trace Sashley as I didn’t know her channel at the time.

[@Toaster-draws]

Same. I used to trace fanart of different Undertale Au's. (Alternate Universes) I still draw fanart of Undertale and it's Au's, but I don't trace anymore.

[@Feminazi1dc]

I've traced in situations where I was in an art block but really wanted to draw something, mainly for the satisfaction of drawing the final lines lol

[@Feminazi1dc]

But I only traced pictures of like human beings not other artists art

literally in my watercolor painting class in college you set up still lifes, photographed them, projected them onto your paper, then traced them (then printed the photo, mixed and matched the colors compared to said photo, did studies to figure out how to create the illusion of glass, etc.) The professor was an artist who had work shown all over the world and she used the same technique. It's a completely legitimate type of art as long as you're not tracing someone else's art and trying to pass it off as yours.
