I don't want this to come out rude, but im just curious about why you're not ok with people using your art in videos? Ive always thought that it's a normal and acceptable thing to do?

It feels similar to reposting to me and just generally makes me uncomfortable so I’d prefer that people didn’t do it -shrugs- 

This seems to come up a lot so…

Things I am okay with people doing with my art:

  • Reblogging/ retweeting my art
  • Using it as phone/ laptop/ ipad/ other personal device backgrounds
  • Using it as icons or headers/sidebar images on online profiles
  • Drawing or writing things inspired by my art (please link back to the original post)
  • Using it as the cover for 8tracks mixes (this is the exception when it comes to reposting bc i love fanmixes. tbh please do this and send me links.) 
  • Copying my art for practice only as long as you do NOT post it online or claim it as your own.

Things I AM NOT okay with people doing with my art:

  • Deleting/ editing my captions
  • Reposting it to ANY site with or without credit. (for those who don’t know what this means, reposting is making a brand new post on a site and uploading content that was already posted by someone else. It is not the same thing as reblogging/retweeting from the source.) 
  • Using it in videos
  • Putting it on any kind of merch (t-shirts/ stickers/ prints/etc.)
  • Copying/ tracing/ recoloring and posting online with or without credit
  • Editing my art (the only exception is if you’re using it for one of the above okay uses and would like to put some text on it or if you need to crop it to make it fit)
  • Using it as a book/fanfic cover or illustration on any website
  • Any way of using it that you would make a profit off of or that would be used to promote yourself. 
  • Claiming it as your own in any way

You are one of the best artist I've ever seen!!! And I was wondering if you could possibly give me some drawing advice (if it's not too much to ask for)

(thank you!!)

tbh anon, i never know what to say in regards to general drawing advice. I might be able to help you out more if there’s some specific aspect of drawing you’d like advice on but as far as general advice all I can say is to keep practicing.
