Traced artwork is the act of drawing over the lines of a picture, either a photograph or different artwork, in order to effectively reuse it in another piece. Tracing is often called out in the community on the grounds of Plagiarism if the picture in question was found on the internet and belongs to someone else. Sometimes though, the original author will simply tell the tracer of their disappointment and not pursue legal battle. However, it should be noted that tracing isn't always frowned upon, especially if the traced picture was taken by the artist themself. Due to how hard hands are to draw, beginner/amateur artists may take pictures of their own hands in the desired position, superimpose them onto their drawing and trace over them, though this might result in an inconsistent art style if they usually draw in, say, a very toony way. It might also be done to save time during a tight deadline, or if someone wants to learn something like color theory before, say, lineart and anatomy. Tracing is considered an important part of learning how to draw, so it is not surprising that many works done by fans tend to trace from the source material. However, because of how many of these works are online, and the quality of those, we exclude fan-works from this article. Traced artwork is pretty common in videogame adaptations, and downright normal when making character sheets. Do not confuse with Homage Shot. Homage Shot is when a piece of artwork homages another with the same core idea, but not exactly the same layout. Sometimes tracers will excuse their actions under the pretense it "was a homage all along". Compare Recycled Animation, when a work reuses animation to save time (though it's usually just straight-up reused instead of replicated). Also compare GIS Syndrome, when a work lifts pictures from Google Image Search. |

Most of the art done by artist Michael Higgins in issue 92 of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) is traced from previous issues. Proof here. Higgins remained on the series for a while, but only working as an inker. | |

Discussed in-universe in Chasing Amy; Banky works on a Comic Book as an inker, going over the pencil sketches Holden draws; one of the things that sets off his Hair-Trigger Temper is when people accuse him of being a "tracer". In the movie, when a douchebag collector keeps pestering him about it, Banky directly attacks him and ends screaming "Your mother's a tracer!" | |

The artwork of Eden no Hana by Yuki Suetsugu got criticized for tracing the art of Slam Dunk and Vagabond, both by Takehiko Inoue. The tracing led to the cease of distribution of Eden No Hana and the cancellation of Suetsugu's other manga, Silver. | |

Batman co-creator Bob Kane was a notorious tracer either repurposing poses from books and other comic strips and changing them to Batman. To just outright just copying panels altogether. A large collection of examples were collected via DialBforBlog | |

The artist of the manga adaptation of Dragon Ball Super, Toyotarō, got caught in a controversy when users online discovered the collaborative cover he did for V-Jump was traced from a Captain America illustration by Dexter Soy, from Captain Marvel: First Flight. Rather than pursuing legal action, Dexter Soy would find himself confused over why Toyotaro would trace from his work. Neither Toyotaro nor Shueshia have ever given a comment regarding this situation. | |

The videogame adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, Jojos Bizarre Adventure Heritage For The Future, naturally reuses the artwork of its source material to adapt the characters' portraits. However, the character of Midler, who is The Ghost in the manga as she never appears physically, was redesigned by Hirohiko Araki in order to be properly adapted in the game. Her artwork is traced from Yukako Yamagishi from the sequel work, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. See here◊ and here◊. | |

Issues 15 and 16 drawn by artist Todd Wahnish in the Sonic X comic book adaptation are known in the community from tracing from the anime. Other artists, Tracey Yardley among them, don't have this issue. | |

Erró is a Pop Artist who blatantly copies from comic books, cartoons, advertisements, and so on. Unlike Lichtenstein, Erró usually transforms his work by combining multiple sources into bizarre collages. Usually. There was an incident where he based a piece on some Tank Girl cover art by Brian Bollard, with minimal alterations. Upon seeing the finished piece, Bollard wrote an open letter calling out Erró as a plagiarist—and Erró's agent conceded the point by removing that particular print from sale. | |

The comic book series Incarnate by Nick Simmons, son of Gene Simmons from KISS, got caught in a plagiarism scandal in 2009. Simmon's work was caught up tracing artwork from Bleach, Hellsing, and other pieces of work like a Deviantart picture. The comic book series was cancelled, Nick Simmons apologized for his actions, and Tite Kubo published his thoughts on Twitter, being more bothered by the fact Nick Simmons tried to be a comic book artist. | |

Warrior Cats: Some of the cats in illustrator Wayne McLoughlin's artwork, including from the cover of Twilight and illustrations in Cats of the Clans, appear to have been traced from photos copyrighted by Dorling Kindersley that appeared in various editions of their Eyewitness Cat book. Although this was noticed by fans, no legal issues came of it. At least one image from the public domain is known to have been traced by illustrator Owen Richardson. |

Homestar Runner: Main Page 17 (themed after the anime-spoofing 20X6 universe) features a brief appearance from a Sailor Moon-style equivalent of Marzipan. Her pose◊ appears to have been traced directly from a piece of stock art of Sailor Moon herself. | |
