'''Tracing''' is the act of copying another piece of artwork. It is usually done by third graders and [[tartlets]]. Tracing, or "omg traced >:(" and "TRACING IS NOT ART! AAAA!" are usually the war cry of talentless [[furry]] and [[weeaboo]] kids who claim that their so-called [[shit|original artworks]] have being traced in seek of pageviews.

==TRACING 101==
[[Image:tartletmanual.jpg|thumb|Slow method is slow. Just run "Live Trace" in Illustrator.]]
So you're in high school, and you've already decided that [[unrealistic expectations|you're going to be a famous manga-ka]] when you grow up. But how to start out? The world of art can be a big and terrifying place. Fortunately, you recently found out about a wonderful site called [[DeviantART]] that hosts online galleries for [[Basement Dwellers|amateur artists]] from some of your [[Tartlet|fellow artist-aspirants]]. Even more pretty, tracing in the fanart section is even legalized. As read [http://news.deviantart.com/article/40612/ here]
The only problem is that you're too damn untalented to spend the time and effort to learn how to draw. I mean, you have [[Neopets]] to take care of, [[hug]]s to give out, a [[Gaia]] avatar to dress up, a [[LiveJournal]] to maintain, a [[Sonic]] [[fanfic]] and an [[Invader Zim]] [[Slashfic]] in the works, and a pile of [[yaoi]] manga to read. Not only that, but you must also attend to an ever-increasing buildup of messages from [[Pedophiles|talent agents]] and [[Internet stalking|admirers]] parading through your dA inbox. These days, nobody has time to draw when they could be busy wasting it on petty, [[social networking]]-related gossip.

With such a busy schedule, how can you possibly find the time to make up for your blatant lack of skills? The answer is simple: You '''trace''' existing artwork.

==Tracing causes drama==
[[Image:LLPtracing.png|thumb|[[Furfag|Tracejitsu power activated]]!]]
[[Image:Dragontrace.jpg|thumb|Silly furry, tracing is for Tartlets!]]
One of the numerous things that causes TARTlets to become massively butthurt and proceed to [[cut]] themselves is the idea of stealing artwork. They will preach the depravity of art theft like [[template:closetcases|gay Republicans who insist they are straight]]. Like all [[teenagers]], they will [[serious business|violently deny]] tracing if they are caught/accused of it, despite mounting piles of evidence or public outcry from their fellow TARTlets. Another fun outcry for them is "I used the [[GRIDS|grids]]!". [[AIDS|Grids]] are for [[fags]]. End of story.

[[Realmrsoptimusprime|Also a lot of the tracers who happen to be highly watched in DA are supported by uncaring fans who will believe anything or refuse anything that's against their artist despite the evidence is right in front of their faces.]] For them, only the final result counts and in final, guess what brings thousands of [[faggots|pageviews?]] a nice, anatomically correct drawing traced from a [[porn]] photo, a recoloring or vectorizing of a picture you take? these techniques allows you to make something popular, and for this, the anti-tracing brigade will never forgive you for a simple reason, it's raining fav's on you now, for least you got some little [[photoshop|photoshopping]] skills, anybody, regardless of the moral of ethic can make something epic, and by the way [[troll]] a thousand screaming [[furry]] [[Dramawhore|drama whores]].

hell, you can even pretend [[capitalism|selling]] some prints with that, now the DA-[[mods]] stopped to care, and being pointy about it... unless you have some [[moralfag|morals]] and decide to develop your own [[shit|style]], but if you suck, you suck. period.

==Overpainting==
'''Overpaint''' (aka paintover) "artists" are the X-TREME version of a [[Basement-dweller|tracer]]. They take [[Plagiarism|cheating]] to a whole new level. Basically, if you [[An_hero|suck at life]], taking some stock photos and painting over them may be for you!
Scientific research has proved that these internet fucktards, often obsessed with perfect beauty, are just frustrated wankers that pretend to be gifted with superior painting skills on forums.

In fact overpaint scam artists spend their whole days "networking" with other [[artist|fucktards]] instead of actually practicing stuff that could increase their non existent skills. Much of those days are spent actually writing [[slash fiction]] and [[fapping]] furiously as basic photoshop filters can do the same job much faster.
Debunking of such delusional retards spurs superior [[lulz]] and [[drama]], as their friend artists will blindly try to ignore all the evidence.

The real kicker? This form of tracing is older than computers and is considered an actual artform when used correctly.
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura Camera Obscura]: overpainting with a projector box
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Vermeer Johannes Vermeer]: famous overpainter

As one [http://www.conceptart.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-169427.html actual artist] explains what "correctly" means:

''Nobody is defending those who trace in preference to knowing their trade and neither is anyone suggesting that tracing should be done all the time. There are, however, occasions for which tracing is necessary and prudent. If an art director tells you they require exact liknesses of person X, Y and Z by Friday then what are you going to say? No? And if you think a "true" artist could paint from reference as fast as they could trace then you're wrong. (...) If an artist approached their craft from the same perspective and traced everything they painted then I'd agree with you, it's a cop out.''

[[TL;DR]]:
* It's not a style: Correct, it's a technique.
* It's a shortcut: Correct, exact likenesses are a pain when you want/need it done fast.
* It's a copout: Correct, when '''that's all you do''' and you can't make art without it.
