What is the difference between art theft and inspiration and references?

-Beginning Artist

To put it really simply, the way I see it, art theft is when someone takes something unique to another person’s work and claims it as their own, erasing the original author. Basically a copy, or a tracing, that is obvious when you know the original and is infringing on the original author’s rights. Sometimes it can be a theft of concept/idea, sometimes it’s the specific execution, sometimes it’s both.

When someone is using another’s work as inspiration or reference, they usually create a brand new transformative work, unique to the author and made relying on their own imagination and skills. They can copy a pose from another piece of art or a photo, for example, but if everything else is different and you can tell the artist applied themselves to create the end result, that’s just using a reference, it’s not theft in my eyes.

There is no way to set hard guidelines to neatly draw the line between these things, that’s something that comes with experience when engaging with art and creative process, I think, as well as knowledge of art history and traditions.

But my rule of thumb is to look at what makes the piece in question unique, and whether it is a result of the author’s own skill and/or imagination.

(Obviously this doesn’t cover all cases, there are things such as homages and classical art copies etc, there is always nuance to be found. This post is about basics based on my personal experience and understanding).

Think of self-competition as a quest for evolution. The object is not to beat our other work. It's to move things forward and create a sense of progression. Growth over superiority.

For Science

I ask this because its getting rough for artists right now. Especially smaller independent artists. Our reach has dwindled on all platforms.

It has even caused some artists, even well known ones to quit.

So I want to know art fans, how do you find us? Help us help you find us.

Everyone always asks the artist how they reach an audience but no one ever asks the audience how you find artists.

please reblog this so it can reach far and wide.

Thank you!

being an artist is like every time I sit down to draw suddenly all sense of will leaves my body and every single idea i've ever had is reduced to ashes
