Instead of using that popular light green one this time around (since I actually used it twice and also used this one for like a few times now despite the OG green one has been used in the wrong way like somebody saying stuff like: "Autism and ADHD don't exist" along with just being "attention seekers" when it comes to mental health disorders like those about it in which I found that one to be such a BS statement and I've heard someone else on Pinterest that they're friends of the creator AKA begaedocrimes saying that they wished they didn't make the template in the first place). Aside from talking about the Pinterest templates that I'm using here, let's talk about tracing people's fanart on why (in the long run) is a bad idea nowadays.
Stolen fanart No.1:

Original fanart by Jen Seng (as you can see the signature on there):
Even I traced off of this fanart years ago when it came to the Yakko part of the fanart that came off this one though (but I'm not gonna show it on what it is). And the fact that this fanart is like over a decade old now as I'm writing this as it originally came out sometime in the early 2010's or late 2000's.
Stolen fanart No.2:

For another example outside the meme, I think nutgirl3 aisha also stole from chuckecheesefangirl1 (and goes by other usernames that I can mention 'em if you want me to) that's suspiciously like in her style like this one that feels like it's been traced off one of her drawings:

Including this one that chuckecheesefangirl1 used to draw into this kind of style that I saw as nutgirl3 aisha might've traced off one of her older fanarts (but I could be wrong here despite this kind of art style isn't mainly her's honestly):

While I'm actually not mad at these two at the moment, but this kind of issue needs to be addressed in a constructive way at least. Especially for someone like me that used to do this in their age back in the middle 2010's. Even this is one of those reasons on why I totally stopped tracing like this and wanted to improve on my artwork. But tracing bases are fine in a way as long if you give credit and be creative about in your own way/own style to it. And in my opinion, tracing official art (aside from fanart) at times can be helpful in some way if you wanna have fun drawing a character to get that on-model look that's accurate that you wanna get it right or just for practice.
