As for poses like lying down...
If the artist draws a dog lying down with it's paws crossed,it's head to the side,and a soft expression,and someone steals that exact pose,it's theft.But if someone draws a dog lying down with it's paws crossed,it's not theft!I reference poses from my real dog all the time,and no doubt there are people with similar poses.If I draw a pose from my real life dog,and someone has a pose similar from their dog or whathaveyou,I'm not stealing.
But if I have a pose identical to someone else's,I'm stealing.

Ugh Ugh!!! If an "awsome" artist done a pic witha simple laying down character..and another person draws it down similar pose,it is art theft..But you should look if it's same as the original,ok ok..It's a pose yeah but you need to proof before you accuse.I never stole...But I have things called "eyes" and I see the similirizations,I saw many theives...I despise them more then everything on the world..I don't see?At least they should credit it if it's a nifty "refference"...Because the artist didn't drew to make other's life easier.
My art never was stolen...But I don't think about if anyone would steal my crappy stuff;)
I saw arts stolen and copyed from Pample,Kay Fedewa,Shayde ...(it's what I noticed.)But also some sheets of the "Wolf Movie",but rarely...
Anyway I don't think stealing is nice..What the world is so hard to grab a stupid pencil,and draw?
The secret to draw "very well"?
The secret's PRACTISE!PRACTISE! And PRACTICE!
Yes Nobody's good at drawing arts without reffs at beggining,I used reff too,but i started my own ideeas,and the style envolved each day I drew.
As you'll imrpoove you'll see how's the copy issue,you'll see errors on art..and you'll critique better xD Things were tested...
Just my oppinion,Thank you
That's what I tell everyone at my school!One of my friends traces my pictures,and I let her so long as she doesn't claim them as hers,but from there on,she takes the refs and practices.She's getting a lot better.I used refs from books at first.Now,I use my own poses and style.
Don't ask me about reality ,my arts are everywhere copyed......I am MAD honest -_- I drew a pic on a journal and a lots of girls stole it from me,or an "Oracol" OMG i better not tel..
Well sorry for you,I know how you feel,I am fustarted aswell because of that -_-'
