To prove my thesis that guinea pigs are, in fact, not real animals, but some kind of chibi keyring creature that accidentally came alive, I have produced a series of artworks by tracing over photos of my guinea pigs:

They are all the same two pigs, I've just recoloured them various ways for fun. And look at them. You see what I mean? Huge heads, tiny feet, button eyes, perfect potato bodies. These cannot be real animals. There was some sort of accident at the gacha factory.

I promise you, these are traced. These are genuine photographs of these living plushy toys in their natural poses. I simplified the outlines but I didn't change them or rescale them. This is just what guinea pigs are like.

Though honestly, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe the last one. The vet says he must take more exercise and honestly she has a point.

I’m pretty sure this is by Greg Land & from X-Men Legacy v1 210

But gee I can’t imagine where he got this from 🤔🤔

Credit to the original artist, Ashida, for the original art. Here is the original:

I found this on Pintrest so I don't know what website she uses. Thank you for your time, Marvel and CoD fans.

P.S, Ashida, if you see this and want me to take it down, I will.

Shamelessly traced some frames for future reference. Beebs seems so solid and consistent in contrast to the squash and stretch of the other guy.

I figured I would share my process/practice today following the trace method. I wanted to start the new year off with focusing on improving my work and this study was fun and helpful. If you'd like to try it, here's what I did (there are many ways to do this, but this is how I enjoy studying through this method):

I started off with finding the pose I wanted to study, usually starting off with simple and growing to complex as I work.

I trace the original image, allowing myself to get a feel for the form as well as understanding how it flows together (it's extremely helpful in understanding anatomy at a base level.)

After I trace the image, I hide the original and begin tracing over the one I did. Doing this helps my muscle memory with the pose, but it also allows me to stylize it.

The final image is a free hand drawing using the second as reference ONLY. I heavily focus on style and the pose, allowing myself some creative process and for messy sketching. This enforces the repetition and muscle memory. If your third sketch doesn't come out like the second, that's okay and honestly preferrable! The third sketch is stylized following your practice and building on what you learned.

Tracing is a wonderful tool for practicing and teaching yourself. Find something you want to learn and build on, and spend a good bit of time practicing with different aspects!

I don't condone using tracing as an act of stealing work from others!

Hey I saw some Macaque fanart that looked eerily similar to yours and just wanted to let you know (I might be making a deal of nothing but yeah I'll include a screenshot of the art):

Alright so.

1: This is likely someone who is doing screenshot redraws from the same images I did that came from a published show that is accessible to millions.

2: Tracing is actually a great way to learn.

Now, credit should be given obviously but there is a huge stigma from folks online about tracing. I can almost promise you that some of your favorite artists out there will look at a work they like and go 'how did they do this?'

Best way to get into the head of another artist? Trace it.

I've done traces of other artists that I admired and honestly I learned a lot from doing so. Did I post these or ever claim them as my own? Absolutely not, that is when you're stealing.

Thousands of professional comic artists, or almost every skilled artist you can think of has traced. This little waltz is like a baby bird taking its first haphazardly drunk steps across a ice pit. We call them screenshot redraws today, but in the fine arts spectrum, they're called Master Studies.

Because you're looking at someone who has already accomplished something and you want to see how they did it, how you can apply it, and how you as an artist can grow.

The beauty of art is that we can take aspects of things we like and add onto our own work. Its an amalgamation of influences that compound together to create the concept we call an artist. I love seeing where people draw their inspiration from.

3: Personally, I think that it's good that this person is taking some steps into digital and learning. Looking at the line weight and the way they use their tools it seems that they're still learning how they want to navigate the digital platform. This is a great way for them to improve an if they had, allegedly, used my images at reference then I'm honored they saw something to admire in it!

The fact that they practiced at all is way more than I can say for others that say they want to improve but don't put the effort in.

4: Now, final point here.

In the future, please do not come to me like this.

I appreciate you trying to give me a heads up, but I'm not going to sit here and reprimand or police people. This kind of message to me feels like a rather deliberate attempt to stir up drama, which if it was not your intention and you genuinely were just looking out for me, I appreciate you trying. The way I see it though, reporting people like this or going after what may very well be kids trying to learn creates a toxic mentality that I don't want anything to do with. I've been there, done that, and been on the receiving end of that nastiness.

I've learned a lot through my time online and the big lesson sometimes is just to let people do what they're gonna do.

Seriously though, who ever did this has a very cute style. I like the smile headshot there in the middle.

Stay wild <3

Now that the finale for Jet Lag S9 is up to YT, I can share the project I've been working on for the past 2 months. The Jet Lag coloring book! There's a page for each season of Jet Lag, and they all connect to form one big picture! I had a blast making this, and I hope you all enjoy! Here are few pages, but you can see them all (and download the full book) below!
