Does copying from photo reference make you a fake artist? Is tracing considered cheating? Do you even have an art license?! We share our opinions about photobashing, tracing, and drawing from photos. We also discuss the debilitating effects of imposter syndrome and how it might sometimes be a good thing. Stan’s thang brings back childhood memories :)

This is the Imposter Syndrome episode. Does copying from photo reference make you a fake artist? Is tracing considered cheating? Do you even have an art license?!

Hi. Thank you, both. It was great to hear this episode with discussion on Impostor Syndrome again. I recently learned that my son can quote my Imposter Syndromey phrases around my artwork and other topics verbatim 🤦♀️.
@Marshall Vandruff , around 9:07 you caution us that it is inadvisable to put other people's photos in our artwork when you do not own those photos, and profit from them. Is this your advice across the board no matter what? or do you feel it is okay to use photos in composites that have been posted online with a license for reuse? or with said license for reuse only as a pieces of a reference? (I understand that you are not a lawyer or giving legal advice - just speaking from an artistic POV.) Thank you so much!@Stan Prokopenko
