“If you plagiarize others' techniques, you steal their emotions and tell your spectators a lie with your work. Works as such equal zero.”
Wu Guan-Zhong

“Gathering your own reference materials, sketches and using your own imagination is going to help you grow as an artist far more than stealing someone else's work.”
Bonnie Hamlin
