Yous shouldn’t trace pictures just because you can make it look original and probably get away with it. It doesn’t make it right.

All traced versions by Na-nami on deviantart (1, 2, 3)
1st Original art from Oreimo (anime)
2nd Original art by Yunomi
3rd Original art from Eternal Force Blizzard

I use to adore this artist, who calls herself “nami”
She has really stable lines and her style is really clean and neat.
The down side is, she traces.
I’m not going to go on about how much I hate, because I’m truly not anger driven. I just find her to be a humiliation. It’s as though I had learned that santa is not real or my best friend back stabbed me. 

Please, don’t say things like “everybody traced once” because, seriously, not everyone needs to trace to learn + create artworks. And for those who do, they did not upload their traced art, claim it to be their original work and steal the credit from the original artist who was the one that spend hours drawing it.  
Nami, now, has become a 7000+ watcher artist and still don’t understand this is wrong and take it down. She will no doubt take down these pieces and continue, protected by her endless friends.

I also must mention how amazing her tracing skills are.
I saw all these artworks before, and didn’t see it was all fake.
Only today, when my art college friend looked at it, did she break the news to me.

Which only makes everyone question,

Nami, did you get better at art or just better at masking your tracing???
