The only "cheating" in art is stealing someone else's and claiming it as your own or claiming you drew ai images, in my opinion.

There’s only one kind of art I consider to be cheating and that’s AI but then again that might not apply because AI art isn’t art.

Indirectly yes, it's an art cause it's made with its own process of making and there could never be anything made like that same thing even if you try to make that again with the prompt 😅

I don't like AI, or at least I don't like how it's being USED, since it's really just a tool that can be used for good or for ill. That said, I'm still on the fence over whether or not AI generated images are definitively not art. On the one hand, the image itself is a computer-generated amalgamation of tangible pre-existing images, not like a collage of images or a piece that the artist draws clear inspiration from other pieces for, more like a calculation of what an image MIGHT look like if a human created it; after all, what is a computer but a glorified calculator? By that definition, an AI-generated image is no more art than the result of a multiplication problem. On the other hand, you still need a human to put in the prompt and program the software, and that requires at least some creative decision making. And would it make a difference if you used imaged you DID have permission to use? I don't consider AI images to be "real" art the same way I would consider a painting or a photograph made by a human being to be art, but I feel like that doesn't automatically make it not NOT art. Maybe I'd feel differently if my own art was good enough to even BE plagiarized. :P

I told this story forever ago but since someone might read this I'll share it again. When I was somewhere around 8 years old I found a photo of a dog in a photo album and drew it; my first reference drawing. I was super proud of the result and when I ran into the kitchen to show my mom and some male visitor (friend of the family or relative, can't remember) my mom was impressed because I had captured enough likeness that she went "wow you drew (dogs name)! It's beautiful!" And the male visitor looked at it and went "you cheated" and it probably was a joke like "oh its so good that theres no way you did this right?" but it didn't read in his tone or face enough so I felt like I had broken the law and I carried shame for years, hid the drawing and stopped drawing. At 26 I met my husband who went to art school and he said "that guy obviously knows nothing about art because if you ask an artist then they'll tell you using a reference is a GOOD thing for your art" which helped me start daring to try again and heal those damaging words. So I echo what he said... those that point fingers that things are cheating are those that don't do art and don't know the history and culture and skill building of art. Listen to those inside the art circle that you look up to. Creativity is beautiful, let it play. 💜

I NEED to keep being reminded that references are not only good for art but IMPORTANT. I get way too hung up trying to draw something exactly how I see it in my imagination. Chances are I'm drawing it right, but... it's in my imagination, which means it's malformed mush.

One problem that i have with using references in my art, is that i quite literally DON'T HAVE THEM most of the time, cuz i draw 90% of my drawings in school, during recess, where i don't have any references for the thing im drawing, but the moment thay i DO have a reference, the quality of my artwork skyrockets sooo........ I've tried to draw things that HAVE references when im in school, so that's helped me a lot

I think you can use tracing as a TOOL, but it’s easy to forget about actually bettering your draftsmanship if you were to trace all the time. Your art would improve way slower! You can’t rely on tracing, but you also shouldn’t be ashamed if you use it to learn.

Great perspective! It still amazes me how people keep saying not to trace or use grids or pre made palettes or digital tools or... Just goes on and on. The greats used grids, and traced, and copied, and referenced each other! As long as you're not taking someone else's art and saying you made it, what's the problem? Even tracing other people's art is ok if you're only practicing your skills. Just don't steal!

Tracing is how I learned to draw. When I was seven I started tracing pictures to learn how to draw certain things. Then later on after I had traced a picture I would draw it without tracing. This is how I learned to draw things it was another way to learn how to draw. Then one day, I just kinda stopped tracing. It was like this was what I had been preparing for , and I just instinctively knew what to do. The thing is, when you’re a cheerful, optimistic, and super confident and motivated nine year old NOTHING and I mean NOTHING can get in your way. I knew I was NOT going to be perfect. Everything I did right was more motivation, a reason to celebrate. And everything I did wrong was a chance to improve and to learn. Tracing is a tool, art theft is, well, theft. (If you read this to the end wow you have officially impressed me here’s a virtual high five 🖐️ Have a lovely day)

I remember my friend and I making a fan comic for our friend by using the copying paper and tracing from existing comics. It was so much fun, we never had to worry about cheating or anything. We made a script and we used the tools available to make something new out of the existing material. Kind of like when animators use stock footage (especially in older anime, like Revolutionary Girl Utena is filled to the brim with stock footage). Thank you, Scott, for this video. I think a lot of people really need to hear this.

Growing up I always heard certain things were "cheating" and as a result, I think this weird haze has settled over my art.. using a reference still feels borderline illegal, but even just being Inspired by an artist feels like it isn't allowed either. Im sure Imposter syndrome comes in a bit here, but one day I really hope I can just create without feeling these invisible barriers.

1000% best message about creating ever! I loved Austin Kleon's book- we need to share this message to all creatives, we should be able to create without guilt or questions about cheating. I've been told that it isn't art if it is traced - even if it was my own drawing from the start. Crap! Total crap! We all glean from life, others, things that catch our attention- that is what makes us creative, because we see one thing and then another and another and figure out how to put those pieces together to make something new. Thank you for sending this message out to the world!

The cover image of the fat Mona Lisa reminds me of a Progresso(?) ad for regular and chunky spaghetti sauce. The artist was Mark Hess. In addition to a style that was very similar to his illustrator dad, Richard Hess, he did a lot of work that were direct "copies" of old masters work but they would have a commercial spin to it. I don't see traditional work commercially anymore especially since there are digital tools and filters that mimic different mediums. Makes me wonder if traditional artists are even out there commercially anymore. Or do they now do private commissions instead to keep going. What are your thoughts on traditional illustration vs digital as an occupation? (If one is not a social media personality)

I loved this video, it gave me the language to express how I feel about AI art. I am old enough to remember when digital art was new, and how there were traditional artists that looked down on digital artists for "cheating" with for example moving of selections. Back in high school in art history we had a discussion on the merit of conceptual art as art. In that discussion we also talked about how a lot of new art styles were looked down upon by the makers of the previous styles. Including impressionisme, cubism, fauvism, minimalism, etc. AI art feels the same for me. It is a new tool, with large implications. And there need to be discussions about the data the AI engines are allowed to build their database on. But the frase "AI art isn't art" feels to simplistic to me. As looking down on the people using this new tool. AI art isn't my cup of tea. Not as a consumer and not as a producer. But that I don't like something doesn't make it not worthwile.

AI art steals from other digital artists to generate something soulless and lackluster. The previous styles you mentioned were all different ways humans engineered to express themselves. There is no human expression within AI art. That being said: this comment is not a jab at you, but at AI art. No hate
@ChocolatTeapot
@ChocolatTeapot 3 ай бұрын
Thank you, and don't worry, not taken as a jab. The point where you and I differ in opinion is that the end result is soulless. I agree that the AI engines are build on theft, at least partly. There is also public domain of which I wouldn't have a problem if they build their databases on. But the end result, the generated image, has human input. Someone who crafted the prompt. I view AI art somewhere between conceptual art and collages. Taking excisting imagery and making something new with it. And that making something new with it is after the input of a human. There are artists that make paintings with a dripping paint can on a string. The input of the human is how long the string is, the colors used, the in what trajectory the can is swung and when taken back. But in the "putting paint on canvas" aren't human hands involved. Where is the line between theft and inspiration? If someone takes multiple images of the internet and photoshop them into one piece. Is that theft? What is the difference with if an AI engine is used as tool instead of photoshop? I don't have an answer myself quite yet, but I'm leaning to "be critical on what input the AI engine is allowed to base its database on, but don't disregard product of the users"

I'm not sure if filters are the one and only reason this assumption of "cheating" exists. I think it's more than people who have a very passionate idea in their head of what art is or isn't now have an opportunity to say so. More often than not (and this includes myself), they have a feeling about why they do or don't like something and don't know the exact words to use to communicate it to something else. There are no legitimate critics on the internet any more than there are rules in making art.

When I was in high school I took an art class, one of the assignments was to bring in something to draw as our reference. Since I am a total Star Wars geek I brought in R2-D2 as my reference. We had to draw our reference around 9 times and then color them in different color schemes. Since I drew something so complex my teacher said I could trace my first drawing I had done of R2-D2 so I didn't fall behind the other students who chose something not as complex. Then most of the other students in that art class said I was cheating because I was tracing my own drawing I had done. It was so disheartening that even years all these years later it stuck with me, I don't remember the other students names just remember the shame that I "cheated". You are so inspirational, love the message you spread about art!

As someone who is new to art and does a lot of fan art for artist and characters that I like, I sometimes felt that what I was doing was cheating. The more that I have been doing it though the more that I have come to realize that what I am doing is more of fan art and not exactly copying them. I don't know what tools that they used in order to make their art, I know that what I mostly use right now is colored pencils and that is what I have been liking the most, along with some painting. It is good to see that others also are seeing that what I am doing is not cheating or stealing, it is nearly me learning. I will never act like what I am doing is my own original work unless it is.

Thanks for another great video on a super important topic. I'm no expert on this by any means, but I feel like the "cheating" thing comes from a mixture of feelings of inadequacy (which most if not all artists have experienced a lot of, and which the internet tends to amplify massively) on the artist's side, and a kind of "purity culture" maintained by people unfamiliar with artistic practice beyond polished presentations of it on Instagram or similar platforms (where a lot of presentations tend to fall into polarizing categories of "look at my effortless mastery of my tools/skills" or "here's a photo with a filter slapped on/here's an AI-generated image that I'm claiming as my own"). Of course there is tons and tons and tons of content in between these two, but unless you're looking for it and know something about what to look for, I can definitely understand why people fall into these simplistic black-and-white categorizations. But they're also nonsense, obviously. Couple that with our culture's love for idolizing individuals and seeing things like skill and talent as innate rather than complex outcomes of practice, opportunity and a hos of other factors - things get oversimplified pretty quickly. I really love how you're consistently open about your own struggles, including how you overcome them, and don't hide your errors or things you're unhappy with. Doing that is perhaps the best antidote to attitudes like this.

I was always taught that tracing, using rulers , stencils, compass , etc is bad and it hampers ur learning and its cheating. Scott was the person who changed my perspective. Thank u scott uncle.❤❤

You should refer dungeons and dragons 'monster manual' for the guild painting. I think it might help. Btw your Gothic Vampire painting is so beautiful, it is set as my wallpaper

There are times where i feel that in stealing or cheating by using tools like rulers and stencil . But we just need to remind ourselves that there are no rules. Thanks for making thinks Clear that there are no rules.

"we steal art just enough to have it be an homage and move on. A little too much and it's theft. Not enough and its worthless" I just found my senior yearbook quote! Scott is an amazing human and artist.

In a recent drawing of Lin-Manuel Miranda I did I “stole like an artist” the white outline and the crosshatching for the background.😂 I love your videos. They are very helpful

I thought digital art was sort of cheating until I tried it! I still have to sketch on paper then trace my own drawing on the tablet cos it's really hard! That undo button is too tempting! Ha! Also regarding tracing, The Art Sherpa said something along the lines of anyone who says tracing is cheating obviously didn't go to art school as it's something they teach and encourage! If you want to focus on your painting you might not want to spend hours drawing first, if you do, great! If you don't, great! Anyway, great video 😊 (too many greats? Nah! 😁)

Just like my art teacher told me " art isn't like science and math, there are no rules in art, do whatever makes your art better,"

Hi Scott, I have chosen to do you as my artist research for GCSE art. You are one of my favourite artists and I won’t go into why because this might be quite a long comment!!! We have to do an Artist copy on our chosen artist and I was thinking on doing the painting in this video. So when I saw this video release I was thrilled!! Just thought as the topic is cheating and stealing would you be ok with me doing you for my project and copying this painting? Thank you so much

I love the idea that we need to expand on what we think of as tools for art. Live models and bowls of fruit were references before the invention of the camera. Tubes of paint that you buy rather than crushing your own berries or plants, those are tools. "There is no cheating in art."

That’s a very great video. I’m just in a moment where I’m wondering if I am a theft of a cheater because I really like to use photo reference in fashion magazine. At the end my portrait doesn’t look like the photo at all (I change the color or the proportion, or my style is very loose, I use gouache, l don’t make réalisme etc.). But can I do,that ? And then. Can I sale my paintings ? What are the rules in this case… because I assume they are sometimes rules, right ?

It's really difficult to reference other artists coz people like to pinpoint and compare an artwork with other artists' artworks. It's like they don't know that originality is just a mish-mash of different things. An artist's viewpoint is the one that is unique! (Sometimes even the audience has unique viewpoint on the art).

It’s interesting hearing that there isn’t really cheating in art. Great art as always Scott. I hope you have a great day each day Scott 😁 I also have a question for you. What are your thoughts on AI generated art especially since you are a very hands on artist. Are there things about AI generated art that you don’t like or anything about it that causes you to be concerned with the way the digital age seems to change and introduce new forms of art?

I think it's ai generated imagery. Art is something made by hand. It's something someone creates with thought and talent. Not something a computer spits out from typed in prompts
