# look, if an unmade bed can win the Turner prize, a hand-drawn tracing can be artistic.
 
most definitions of art are circular, anyway

Don't criticise something that still takes time and effort to do.

# so all the retards who wanna argue the difference between a vector and a raster can keep it to themselves?

# Does that mean I can stay over here?
Mine are rasters.

# their all rasters.
 
at least by the time they're output to GIF, JPEG or PNG.

# Of course they are,
but a "true" vector as such is usually taken to mean before that.
As you could save it in an swf and it'd be a vector.

# but vectors
ain't tracings are they? i've never done either, but the vectorites always seem to get arsey about people just tracing
(, Mon 7 Apr 2008, 22:35, archived)
# Well really, they are.
But they require a lot more effort than simply drawing over the top of something as if it were tracing paper.

# i was under the impression
that the true artistes had the source image in one window, and drew the new one from scratch in a separate window

# I've tried that, but I have major trouble with it.
I tend to use the source image below.
I'm getting into the habit of adding more detail now, so it's not just a quick "colours over the top" job, if you know what I mean.

I'm sure that's the same for many other people, too.
