* The second ''Literature/WarriorCats'' artist, Owen Richardson, re-used many of his own images and poses. This was particularly noticed in the 2023 "Updated and Expanded" edition of The Ultimate Guide, where Raggedstar was a flipped edit of Graystripe from ''Graystripe's Vow'', Scourge was originally Tall Shadow from the cover of ''The First Battle'', Crookedstar is Sol from ''Eclipse'', and Brightheart was originally Daisy from ''A Warrior's Choice''.

It should be noted, however, that tracing isn't always nefarious and deplorable, though, especially if the traced picture was taken by the artist themself. Due to how hard hands are to draw, beginner/amateur artists may take pictures of their own hands in the desired position, superimpose them onto their drawing and trace over them, though this might result in an inconsistent art style if they usually draw in a very toony way. It might also be done to save time during a tight deadline, or if someone wants to learn something like color theory before, say, lineart and anatomy.

Traced artwork is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: reusing a piece of artwork from one work, and redrawing it on another work. This is done for mostly two reasons: to save time, or because it is difficult for the artist to work with the art style of the work.

There's a more nefarious third reason, which may involve a legal battle: Usefulnotes/{{Plagiarism}}. Sometimes though, the original author will simply tell the tracer of their disappointment and not pursue legal battle.

'''Do not confuse''' with HomageShot. HomageShot is when a piece of artwork homages another with the same core idea. Sometimes tracers will excuse their actions under the pretense it "[[ParodyRetcon was a homage all along]]".

Compare RecycledAnimation, when a work reuses animation to save time. Also compare GISSyndrome, when a work lifts pictures from Google Image Search.
