I can understand trying to copy a style of art, but it's not the same as directly tracing another picture.
Gotta agree. Worse off is that she clearly doesn't even have permission, since she "can't find" half the pictures she copies/traces, and one of the artists is even on dA. D; I mean, I've been through a tracing phase before, and it doesn't excuse it at all. Traces should be kept to yourself or directly stated as a trace, and the same with copies, both linking to the original.


And awwwww @ mneme's drawing. <333
