Some pictures that I've drawn are redraws. What I mean by that is that a couple times I would be reading a manga or something and then redraw one of the images. I wouldn't trace though, I'd look at while I drew it bigger (sometimes a lot larger) in my sketchbook.

So my question is...is this cheating? Someone recently harassed me for doing so. So...yeah...

Nope, not at all - the only reason it would be is as if you were taking credit for it, others would deem it illegal because of Creative Commons. Though I think a better word for what your doing is called referencing - its when you use a certain pose or picture as a template to start your work, and wouldn't be considered "cheating." Bottom line is, you can't really cheat in art mrgreen if your friends are dissing you about it, maybe its a way to make themselves feel better - its a sign that your a good artist 3nodding

Thanks, and I never did take credit for the originality, but it was over DevientArt and I didn't know the person so know I feel better, thanks again
