It can be a bit cheap and deceiving, though, really.
I mean, people say something like "Did you draw this?" and you say "Yes" and they're all like "Wow", but actually if you had said "No actually I kinda traced it really" they might've gone "Oh, well, okay that's still neat I guess."

I'm in no way saying tracing is bad, by the way. I don't want to control what people post on b3ta. That'd be STOOPIDS.

I'm not trying to be deceiving.
But that doesn't mean I haven't drawn it.
And it's not as if I've put no effort into it, because I have.
