iF YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE ARTIST PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE!
ok so I see this a lot and I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT USE OTHER PEOPLE'S ART AS A REFERENCE FOR YOUR ART. that is copying / plagiarism. even if it's on google that does not make it free to use. often if you post your art on Deviantart or a similar website, the art will go somewhere on Google so if people search a particular thing your art piece may show up, this can happen to any artist. just because it's on Google doesn't mean its free to use. using photos is alright as long as you get permission or it's royalty free. or you can use most photos if you aren't redrawing it 100% and adding your own thing to it or only using it for reference (but not for art since that's still plagiarism unless you're like inspired from it and make a whole new thing that was inspired by it but you didn't actually copy the art itself only elements of it like a similar color palette or theme) <sorry if I spelled it wrong,  if you have already done this it's alright you didn't do anything wrong since you probably didn't know but be aware of it in the future. if the artist gives you permission to redraw their art then go for it! :3 hope this helps
