would looking at a picture of the internet while drawing count as rotoscoping?
ex: Your trying to draw a banana and you get a picture of a real banana off the google and use it to draw(draw not trace) your picture.

You can use the banana as a reference drawing, but you have to be sure to credit the person who made the picture.

This is the case with anything really

what if the banana was a picture like this

its not drawn or made by anyone. Do you still have to credit the person who took the photo?

...no. it's a banana. you don't need to credit someone for using a reference to draw a piece of fruit.

unless you're tracing a video frame-by-frame, it's not rotoscoping.

ok thanks exilement and parasite
the banana was just a example
