http://oi61.tinypic.com/1z1a5vd.jpg - This was a layover she posted on her own to prove she didn't trace, it's since been removed.

Image provided by the tracer as the original image she attempted to make money from; http://theperfectpose.com/HowToPose/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bride-alone-poses-1.jpg

New, closer overlay provided by a member of the community, showing the tracer's overlay was skewed and warped in her 'evidence', and the image is in fact, very traced, at minimum very heavily referenced without citing the source on the original auction to begin with; https://www.dropbox.com/s/gem52e82kbk0jil/trace.png

EXPLAIN: I happened across this image while browsing, looking through her gallery, and the image itself, it's clearly traced. I commented as you can see above asking the artist to cite her source, and the image was replaced with the above overlay as 'proof' she didn't trace. This artist attempted to trace a photograph for monetary gain, and should be avoided.

No you misunderstand, I am not a tracer. Proof bellow. The line art started linning up again in the video.
Yes I referenced, and did put the reference in the descrition to the repost. But alright, I wont reference again :3

You...didn't even draw the part that was traced in the video, it proves nothing. If anything that just makes it more apparent the original was traced.
Sorry but I'm not budging on the original post being traced.

Referencing isn't tracing.

Please read up on these images/articles on what referencing is versus tracing. They're extremely helpful.

No one's telling you not to reference - We're telling you not to trace.
Your source should always be in your original post - because you're using information from another person. It's a matter of respect.
