Mmmm found this whilst perusing old internet files...I think it was done in...2004?
Breaking Benjamin album We Are Not Alone I didn't trace this - I never directly trace anything. In art, one must use study subjects to best acquaint ourselves to the different limits of line showing the human body. Why do you think true artists study the masters so much? I'm not taking credit for the composition of the piece here by "copying" it, I'm merely trying to learn about art. It infuriates me that many people don't understand the difference between "copying" and "studying" in art. If I tried to go about saying that this design was my original idea, then that would be copying and stealing - plagiarizing - but I'm not. I've given credit where credit is due...so if any worthless pieces of shit stumble across this drawing and start spewing verbal diarrhea about how I'm disrespecting the artist by claiming this to be my own work and how I'm nothing but a dirty thief you can save your goddamn breath because:
a) I've been to art school so I know what the fuck I'm doing (most of the time)
b) I'm tired of listening to bullshite arguments that only arise for arguments' sake...and trolls. I can tell when you're trolling, so don't even bother. =)
