You cannot take someone's photo and draw straight from it, especially if it has copyright. That is seen as intellectual theft and the creator can sue you for it!
Art theft, sometimes called artnapping, is the stealing of paintings, sculptures, or other forms of visual art from galleries, museums or other public and private locations.
Fanart is a derivative work based on your original work, and the creator of the fanart owns the copyright to their own creative expression in that work. If you want to use fanart created by someone else, you should first seek their permission and obtain a license to use the work.
Copyright law is a form of intellectual property that protects the unique expression of ideas, empowering artists to control how their work is used. If you're looking to reproduce an artist's work, you'll need permission from the copyright owner in the form of a license.
Contact the Infringing Parties: Reach out to the individuals or businesses selling your artwork without permission. Be professional and clear in your communication, explaining the infringement, providing your copyright registration number if applicable, and requesting the immediate removal of the infringing listings.
Additionally, it is important to find out if another person is profiting off of your work or not. If the work is clearly plagiarized and they are using it to their advantage, it is highly recommended you pursue legal action for art theft.
Copying a painting for personal use is typically legal, as long as you do not intend to sell or distribute the reproduction. Personal use implies that the copy is for private enjoyment and not for profit. However, public display or sale could breach copyright laws, even for personal reproductions.
A copyright is valid for your lifetime plus 70 years (other rules apply to older art and works created in other countries). During that time, no one else is allowed to use the work of art without permission unless the use falls within several categories that are considered valid exceptions.
If you are an artist creating drawings, paintings, cartoons, graphic arts, sculptures, or book illustrations, your works are subject to copyright protection. If you are a photographer, cartographer, or architectural engineer, your images, maps, and drawings are subject to copyright protection.
