thefinalcut: After trying to find a reference photo, I realized that this idea was about finding a pic of a statue and trying to make it look the same, only "alive". I don't think they have copyright right laws on statues, do they? Is this ok, Mods? ( 5 years and 3258 days ago )

thefinalcut: Draw it like they made the statue to your drawing ( 5 years and 3258 days ago )

thefinalcut: The point of this contest is an excersise in detail work. To take the statue and make it look "real" or "alive" by making it look like its actually standing there. Not a statue. ( 5 years and 3257 days ago )

thefinalcut: Thanks for your support on this idea everyone. ( 5 years and 3252 days ago )

wolfrun0: Hmmmmm, I'm still a bit confused on this. For clarification- we take a statue and try to make it look alive, as opposed to static and inanimate? Are we allowed to change anything about the statue to achieve this in our drawings? ( 5 years and 3251 days ago )

thefinalcut: Yes, but it has to still look like the statue.

Contest Moderator: A photo of a statue on public display is fine to use as long as the picture itself is free of copyright. Just because a statue is free to photograph doesn't mean the photograph is free to use. Always check your sources. Always post source/ref links. Please remember Drawing Contest Rules:
7.3. Reference photos: are allowed (no copyrighted images), but should be mentioned in your SBS.

7.4. References can be used to look at and study BUT you are not allowed to make an exact or close copy of the reference. As it has to be your own artwork you'll have to create your own interpretation of the reference without making it your goal to make a (close) copy of the reference.
