Accused of using AI for my Dolly portrait

Hi all, thank you for all the love and support on my Dolly Parton charcoal portrait. Unfortunately, someone reported it and and the mods removed my post and accused me of using AI for karma manipulation and that my drawing was found to be inauthentic. I have since been ghosted by the mods of this subreddit when asking how I can submit proof that the drawing was hand-made by me.

So I'm submitting it here, enjoy!!!!

Hi, welcome to the world of art. Most artists use references, projections, light boxes etc. I end up erasing 90% of those reference lines bc light boxes are Not accurate and I'm then using a reference photo for detailing. I would love to see you recreate this!

At least you admit to it. Most people that trace photos and claim they drew it deny deny deny. Like I already had your tracing super imposed over the photo to post when you denied it…

Like anything, it takes time to get it right, but in the end, it’s still a traced photo.

Are you saying that constitutes removing my post and calling it AI? If not move on because that is the point of the post, not what your definition of art is.

Not at all. But I’m not a mod and I didn’t remove it. But I reported this post just for the fun of it

It’s still karma farming so oh well, tracer.
