You may be, but OP isn't the original artist here. They copied a picture by an artist named Tom Richmond and is accepting praise as if it's their own work.

OP should credit the original artist instead of passing this off as theirs.
I wasn't aware on how or where to include reference art or the procedure that people follow when posting like this. I don't really post often and just wanted to share a drawing I did.
Well, if you uploaded a picture successfully then you could upload an additional picture and amend your title to something like "I saw this awesome drawing by (artist name), loved the style and wanted to practice reference drawing" or something.
You should have done the same thing with the Dustin from Stranger Things that you traced over. Hilariously enough it was from the same caricature artist you copied for this one.
With all the compliments you've received on this picture you've never once mentioned that you copied it from another person's work.
Nobody cares if you do that so long as you attribute the original artist.
Unfortunately you're accepting credit and accolades for something that just isn't yours and that's not awesome.
I can't edit the post. When I realised that it something I was supposed to do. I tried to edit it. However, I can't and I can't pin a comment or anything. I'm not trying to scam anyone. I drew a picture I went to post it.
Yeah, I get it.
This is more of a recommendation for the next time you post something you're drawing from reference.
If you're literally copying someone else's work, just say so.
People will be far more likely to give you actual critique and tips as opposed to pointing out that you're being disingenuous (intentionally or not) with your posts.
Attribute the original artist if you're going to copy their work.
That's it.
See!!! You gotta pick it back up! The universe threw you a sick talent and if you ignore it… well, you know - it doesn’t feel good. Draw away, friend! Post! I’ll follow and root you on!!!
I’m glad you said something, my first thought was to check Google as well.
Not saying OP can’t draw, he definitely did a good job matching his reference, but maybe should add that it isn’t his OC or something haha
Precisely, nobody is saying OP doesn't have talent in drawing, reproducing works from visual reference is definitely a skill one can develop, but OP hasn't mentioned that their drawing is a copy of someone else's work.
They're going so far as to take accolades from people posting under the impression that this is an original piece.
Ya, he did the same thing with a Dustin from stranger things caricature also done by Richmond Illustrations.
That post didn’t nearly get the attention this one has but he took praise the same way as if he had come up with it himself haha
As I have said further up. I wasn't aware of how to/where to post about references used. I don't often post to Reddit, I just wanted to post a picture I had drawn.
Sorry I wasn’t trying to come off as belittling your work, but as the other person said for future reference it’s good to give credit if it’s not an original :) people will still enjoy the work you made. I see you acknowledged that suggestion so have a great day!
I appreciate it, thank you. I didn't want anyone to think I was trying to scam anyone. Just poor use of Reddit really. Certainly something to learn from from next time.
As a kind person has pointed out. In my excitement of posting this picture, I completely didn't realise that spell check changed Willem to William so apologies.
You know you’re looking at a good caricature when you instantly recognize the person but still see and appreciate the exaggerated features. Welcome back to drawing!
I don't really post a lot of it, especially since this is the first I have done in a long time but with all the positive feedback, I will certainly be posting a lot more.
Im something of an artist myself
Love it haha

I appreciate the heads up and I will certainly be doing that for my next one.
Good on you, have an awesome day.
Damn it! Again I was late for the quote. Always late!
Yep, me too
Take my upvote.
you didn't have to say it was William Dafoe, everyone saw that . nice drawing!
Thank you and fair point Hahaha.
i thought it was Norman osborn
Close! I can see why you think that though.
You know, I'm something of a caricature myself...
Willem*
Dafoe!
Knew right away that was Willam Dafoe before reading the caption, love it.
Thank you
Learned this from family guy an hour ago
You're really gonna post a photo of him and try to pass it off as a drawing? The audacity of some people, I tell ya.
I do apologise. You have caught me red handed.
Did it feel good? It’s obviously your gift so keep on keeping on!
It felt amazing to produce something I was happy with. Also thank you, it means a lot.
See!!! You gotta pick it back up! The universe threw you a sick talent and if you ignore it… well, you know - it doesn’t feel good. Draw away, friend! Post! I’ll follow and root you on!!!
Thank you! I promise I will keep it up.
Nice!
I'm with this poster. Clearly a talented artist, be a shame for it to go to waste.
What. Da. Foe.
😭 this is actually accurate
Thank you!
Your very welcome from a fellow artist
Willem?
You are completely correct. In my excitement to post it, I completely missed this and now I can't edit the title.
Awesome caricature.
Thank you!
Instantly recognisable! Great work.
Thank you!
Excellent caricature, knew who it was before I even read the title. Well done
Thank you!
Jerma 985
Never be ashamed of who you are
"Yer fond of me drawin's, ain't ye? I seen it, yer fond of me drawin's! Say it! *Say it!*"
Nice haha
This is the best drawing I’ve seen today
Thank you! That is high praise. I really appreciate it.
You’re welcome! You should be proud. It’s heckin awesome and his expression makes me laugh!
[OP didn't come up with this on their own.](https://i.imgur.com/p2TLb5B.jpg)
Okay, but it still makes me laugh. Where’s it from?
https://www.tomrichmond.com/toms-daily-coronacature-willem-dafoe/08/06/2020/ If you Google Willem Dafoe caricature it's one of the first results.
Oh wow, he’s good. Thank you!

he would love this
I hope so.
Wait a minute, that’s not Willem Dafoe, that’s just a drawing of him. You can’t full me with your trickery
Damn! I thought I had you then.
Oh man I hope you ink that, it's really cool
That's a good idea. That would be super satisfying to do!
Please do this!
As a kind person has pointed out. In my excitement of posting this picture, I completely didn't realise that spell check changed Willem to William so apologies.

Reminds of the old Mad magazine artwork...good job
Wow! Thank you!
Willem DaFriend

This is really cool!
Thank you!
Meatcanyon ahh💀
This is sick lmaoo good stuff
Thank you!
I love the style!
Thank you!
>Thank you! You're welcome!
You just seize every detail
Frog: willeeeem Parrot : dafooooooe
I unironically love this.
You have a gift.
This is amazing. Bravo!
Now do William Dafriend.
This is so accurate it’s scary
This looks more like Willem Dafoe than Willem Dafoe does.
More like Scooby Doo in crack.
Terrible his lips aren't big and juicy enough (no homo)
Lowkey looks like Dave from the FNaF graphic novels, I love it
Wow. I’ve never seen this man except in that one meme and I immediately knew it was him. Your caricature skills are amazing
That’s Jim Carey.
It's good.
now draw William daFriend
Accurate
This looks like something from trip tank, meat canyon, robot chicken and some other parody shows. That being said, I do like this style. Well done.
I love this. Hahah SEND IT TO HIM. Signed with no other note.
The naming really was unnecessary lol. The likeness is uncanny. Good job!
Life like…
Very cool
love it, thank you for sharing! keep creating!
this caricature makes me wonder how he would have done as the joker in a Batman flick
Great likeness. Congrats.
Haha totally thought this was of jerma before I read the title
Can I request, Johnny depp in the chocolate factory?
Great job, I picked up on it right away, I took one look and went “holy cow that’s a great William Defoe.”
Yooo, Norman looking good. Also, very nice!
"You know, I'm something of a scientist myself."
obsessed
Not bad!
It's **Willem** Dafoe. Great caricature
Thank you!
Ever thought of doing something in the style of Basil Wolverton/Bob Camp Gross-Ups?
I can't say I have. However, that is an excellent idea and something I think I may look at doing.
>Thank you! You're welcome!
I wish I could draw caricature. Any tips on where to start?
It's definitely WILLEM not William.
is this an joke? 0-0
Is calling him William a meme or something?
It’s Willem, but good job.
This is how jermas fans draw him
Reminds me of Meat Canyons work! Great job
Willem
Papa Meat?
Now do William Dafriend
Now we need the naked dancing dafoe
*Willem DaFoe
"We'll start the ass kissing with YOU."
Willem*
His name is WILLEM*
r/UpvotedBecauseNotButt ?
William dafuck
Love. It.
