First, I'd like to say that while I have been upfront both here and on my DA page about the fact that I am copying both Basil and the O&M cast from existing artwork, it seems one person decided I was a liar.
Last Sunday, on my DA page, this asshole first yelled at me for coloring Millie wrong then followed that up by accusing me of tracing. I reported both comments as spam.
I am copying. NOT tracing. DCS herself told me in e-mail that copying was a good way to learn how a drawing works. I am just starting to see what she means. The following are quick sketches I did over the week without copying or referencing the originals. The Mickey heads were just a spur of the moment thing.
Point is this: I could barely draw stick figures this time last year. While I have a long way to go this proves that the copying method is working for me. So, judge for yourself.
Here's a "in progress" sketch of Ozy I'm working on. It started out as a direct copy of the pose on the O&M cast page but I felt confident enough to play with it a little.
The finished Ozy will be up either late tonight or sometime over the next two days.

Well, it's just a lightly drawn rough sketch. There's nothing I can do to fix it untill I get around to doing cleanup which will be later this evening.
But, it shows up fine on my monitor. I wouldn't have put it up if you couldn't see it at all.
I'll remove it if it's really bugging everyone.

For the record, I copied the original Millie pic to my hard drive, then opened it in PhotoStudio, converted it to greyscale, enlarged it, then printed it out. All of which made it a soft blurry mess, hardly suitable for tracing.
Why do people have to be such jerks?
I'm through explaining this. Think what you want. I even sent the Millie pic to DCS today. If she comments, I'll let you know.

Sorry bro, it's just that no matter how much you defend yourself with excuses like it being printed out into a soft blurry mess, the fact remains that they look freaking identical.
