>>4468823>bad art is my styleThat's not manga artist's "style" lmao, its a shortcut, to save money and time. Naruto mangaka wanted to have screentones but its a weekly manga so they physically were unable to do it.
It was also a "style" to have liveaction images in Bakemonogatari, wonder why they were all replaced for blu-rays where they actually had the time to finish.
It matters a lot if you trace or not, and the audience does. If your reputation is ruined because people find out youre traced, then that alone destroys your argument, as your reputation and how your work is perceived matters a lot.
People have reasonable expectations and understanding on what a drawing or painting is. So your work supposed to represent your ability and skill, tracing isnt a skill that is highly valued or impressive. Tracing is bad.
