Very boring rant. May have a few inaccuracies! Quick Summary - know the difference between commercial and personal works. - understand the difference between morality and legality. - tracing vs guidelines vs referencing - crediting is only required for commercial works. for personal works it's a moral topic. - progress is non-linear. use metrics to gauge it! - understand micro and how it interacts with macro - granularity means specific-ness! helpful for learning - dont let ego get in the way of your art! - style does not exist until you intentionally change a foundational rule to make a style. Styles are rarely accidental.
Morality and Legality are 2 different things! I can't tell you what's right/wrong, everyone's moral compass is different! However, Scratch generally wants you to credit, so if you're ever in doubt, credit credit credit!!!
