People of Wattpad its time we all have a talk about... Stealing Artwork. I have recently found out that a few people around here, Instagram, and Twitter, have been stealing other hard working artist artwork by claiming they drew it when they didn't. They say they made it, they say they work hard, and say they thought of it hard but... its all a lie and their are ways to tell.

1. Art Style: There are different Art Style everyone can use but there are times that person doesn't use that art style anymore making it hard to believe they made it.

2. Watermark: The Watermark that almost every artist use is the very thing that shows that they made it proving they are the hard working person. You can try to hide the Watermark But you cant hide the lies you have now made.

 3. Changing Colors: When you copy someone else's art without consent or credit—you are stealing. Even mere using of filter, changing of color, and adding of clip art or text are part of this poor practice. Like literary plagiarism, art plagiarism also comes in many forms such as theft and tracing.

Look I'm not saying you shouldn't use their art work for your stories, Oc, or even rp Chapter but... when you claim that you did something you never worked on that's just wrong! Give credits to those that drew it, those that actually truly worked on it, Please. And if they don't want you to use it don't use it! You and I don't have the right to use other people Art because we didn't make it so please stop. 

Now to help those that actually drew the art work with their own time, arms, and mind here's how. 

1. Give Credit: Give credit to those that drew it cause with that you are saying "I didn't make this but I love the way they drew it, please follow them they are the best!"

2. Respect Their Decision: If they say "Don't use this artwork I made" Its best to listen to what they said or else they would sue you for stealing.

3. Ask: Sometimes its best to ask them especially if you truly are a fan of their work, I mean I love the people I follow artwork cause it inspires me to draw something that I thought I would never be good at.

4. Draw it!: I know this would be hard to but... You need to draw your own things in life. If you don't try your best and practice how to draw then you'll never understand how it feel to draw and show your amazing art work. Yes their would be times you would thing its bad or its just not good but that's okay, practicing over and over again and not giving up will help you succeed in your goal and make you happy because you drew something you thought you could never do in life. 

You can block me, unfollow me, or even mute me, but you know I'm right. when you steal someone's hard work your just causing trouble to happen. I'm not a good artist hell I'm not even in the same level as my Cousin and two people I follow on Instagram but that's okay because I well never give up cause if I give up I'm just a loser that never try  to do it and talk shit about myself like everyone at my school did. I'm Felipe Fox and I will never give up on my dream, never give up on what I love, and never give up on improving my skill... NOW WHOS WITH ME!!!

And to those that think they could get away on stealing hard working people work... your just another low person that never try their best to show what they got inside and outside.

Sorry if I got to deep here, I just don't like people stealing and claiming other's work.
