Referencing Makes Me a Copier???

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 29, 2008, 5:34 PM
  • Mood: Angsty
  • Reading: People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks
So :iconkellywormtongue: posted an interesting post, "Is referencing the same as copying?" I had no idea, but I guess many people on this site feel that if you use a reference picture and do nothing different to the pose than you're not referencing, but rather copying someone's work. Now, I've never referenced anyone on this site's original work but rather movie shots, and I always put that they're my interpretations (because let's face it, I'm not the greatest out there folks) of the pose or picture in question. But that still makes me a copier? Isn't that how one practices? Referencing? I free-hand the stuff I post, that doesn't make any difference? Your thoughts on this...

You know, I've re-watched the movie (have it on VHS), and he doesn't seem as scary.

In fact, I kind of like him. He makes ridiculous and unneeded gestures. That makes him funny. ;)

Fidget still scares the hell out of me, though.
