Maybe tu could learn the old-fashion way.

OHMYGODNESS.
tu ARE A GOD FOR SAYING THIS.
Oh if only, if only people would listen!
WHO CARES IF YOUR NO GOOD AT DRAWING!!
Its better to PRACTICE your drawing instead of getting into the habit of taking other peoples work and coloring over it.
Saying the excuses 'i dont have a scanner' o 'my camera sucks' o 'im not good at drawing' are NOT. GOOD. ENOUGH.
Like Lolly said; If tu have consent from the artist and GIVE THEM THE CREDIT, then it's fine. Just giving them credit isnt good enough. tu need to ASK them!
Seriously, im sure they put LOTS of hard work into that picture and tu think tu can just waddle onto DA, take whatever tu want, and just post it here like tu wont get into trouble?
tu will. Im sure there are DA artists on here who dont appreciate their art being used w/o permission. I know if I saw MY art being publicado here w/o my consent, id be pretty dern angry!
Bases are perfectly fine; they're used so people dont HAVE to draw the bodies that might be to hard for them! That's why they're made! Not so that they can be ignored and the artist's REAL work can just be taken and edited over like it was nothing.
Its not only editing the work; its just taking it in general. ALOT of people take pictures from DA and post it as their character 'referance' for contests on here and such and say 'this is my character.'
NO. ITS NOT.
Its someone elses character! tu need to draw your own stuff! (or use a base)
Again; the excuse 'im not good' is NOT GOOD ITSELF.
tu wont get any better unless tu TRY.
And get all snappy at me for being 'mean', but im not being 'mean', im stating the TRUTH.
Taking art from someone and claiming it as your own o not asking permission to use it is WRONG.
And if tu guys don't get that, maybe there should be a reportar system where we can tell fanpop staff that your stealing from other people, and they can suspend your privleges until tu learn your lesson.
No offense on that last sentence, but i mean common; would tu appreciate it if tu worked REALLY hard on a picture, then some misceláneo person tu dont even know came along, took your picture, edited over it (horribly o not), and claimed THEY made it?
Im sure you'd be upset. And im sure that's how DA artists feel.
I think i got my point across.
See? Look below. I DREW that. My DA link is on my perfil page.
Seriously, guys. Common. Let's be fair to the people who put hard work into their stuff.
Im done.

OK this stuff is what starts fanpop wars. I dont care if tu hate seeing paint overs. I dont care if people should be original. I DONT CARE!!! Yes people shouldt steal and make it thier own. Yes they should draw there own pics. but should we bash and make people who pain over feel bad? HELL NO!! So whay cant we all just shut up and deal with it. Cause news flash, tu guys can post BILLIONS of things like this, it wont stop. People wont stop paint overs. They wont stop stealing. They wont start drawing on there own. should they? yes. will they? NO. Besides some paint overs are not bad.

(sorry for the misspelling. i didnt check it so it looks like s 5 año old wrote this)

Well, I would, but I don't have a scanner and I don't own a camera. So, paint-overs are my only solution. Srry :'(

The only reason i paint over is becuase i can't draw TDI style all that good, but if i have a base it makes it good. Here is something i just drew on MS paint:


ITS NOT ALL THAT GOOD!!

well, i don't say that what is doing Gwentrentever is ok. But i did the same with my draw of EnikahxTrent (obiusly i dicho who drawed the base, i'm not a stealer)
Gwentrentever is not a bad girl, maybe she didn't know that it was against the law doing that without giving the artist credit. Don't take it as a bad thing, cuz is the first time that tu say that to her. Is not that we are all the time saying it like with pop9ana. Give her a chance, she will not do it again ^^

i only paint over pics from the show.

I draw but I like to use the paint also like this picture i did with my finger,yes i dicho FINGER! Ur right 2 about everything

my comentarios pretty much have my answer but i think gwentrentever deleted her account

so since Jacki (gwentrentever) quit i have been informing her on everything that mentions her, so i e-mailed her this, and she dicho for me to tell u that...she doesnt fucking care what tu o anybody says, she breaks the law everyday, and she got permission from the artist and did give then credit, so tu should shut the fuck up and get your facts right, and shit like this creats fights, and she dont care bout tu people because she cant stand this place and the people in it...-Jacki... ok when she sent me the message i thought she seriously over reacted, but she turned into something like really mean, shes seriously kinda bitchie now, and i dont think i even wanna be her friend, but im loyle, and jacki is still and always will be one of my bff's, oh and jacki also dicho that if people were true friends then they would stick up for eachother so her friends on here shouldove stood up for her, and if your her friend tu wouldnt be talkin crap bout her- words por Jacki (gwentrentever)

YOU...ARE...GOD!


I draw my pictures on paper and pencil scan them then trace over on foto shop

Thank You!

I've wanted to post something like this for a long time, but I didn't have the guts to have everyone mad at me ^^;

I'm on deviantart as well as fanpop and I frequently see people stealing a lot of my friends art work. I think its extremely unfair for people who work very hard on a piece of art and then decide to share it with others, only to have it taken, scribbled over and claimed to be someone else's. It really sucks.

People who say they can't draw just need to practice. I couldn't draw until I sat down for hours drawing the same things over and over again.It took years,and I'm still not amazing, but I'm still learning.

is this picture ok?

Oh my Gosh, Preach sister Preach! One of the things that piss me off the most on here are colour overs. I look around Devianart and see people's truely awesome fan art, then come on here and see that their art has been brutally coloured over and it just makes me sad. Sofie, tu dicho what everyone was thinking. POWER TO tu SISTA GURL! *high fives and hugs* ^^ :D :D :D :D

See people! I drew this ↓!!!!!!!!

THANK GOD!
It's not just me!
Color-overs, they're taking over the spot!
Oh..wait a minute...I've made LindsayXOwen Pictures where I'm not coloring over them, as much as placing one picture into another, with permission of course, but if I could draw the pics, I would, but I CAN'T draw Lindsay's head if my life depended on it! DX

But yeah, Most color-overs I see here SUCK! They are SUCKISH! (Lolz, I wuv that word, Suckish X3)
