Hi I was just wondering: if you found a picture you really like (particularly on this site), are you allowed to draw the same pic yourself and post it?

No, that's artist abuse. I think that it can get you banned. I'm not a staff member, but I think that's what happens if you do that.

What if you give credit? I haven't done this yet, so don't worry. I'm just asking around since I'm new to submitting art.

Ask the original artist first. If they give you permission, and you give them credit, I don't see why not (though it's better to come up with your own original ideas).

In general, if you do the creation of the second piece yourself, it [b]is[/b] allowed -- provided that the original artist has no objections to you taking one of their characters out for a spin.

Therefore, you should ask the original artist first, and if they say no, then live with it.

Actually, it wasn't one of their characters. It's a Rock Lee pic that I really wanted to draw and compare on how well i did, plus i added some more to it. I was just re-drawing it.
