Well, I recently typed in "recolor," and almost 9,000 results came up. THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND. If 당신 recolor, 당신 need to STOP. It's STUPID, and 당신 should DRAW. (Remember this saying, "Practice makes perfect") Recoloring is also copyright infringment. 당신 may THINK that all you're doing is "having fun," but what you're REALLY doing, is total fail.
당신 immediately get infuriated, dive to the Complaints 포럼 and make an angry rant saying how people are being "mean" to you, and that they have no life. 당신 WORKED SO HARD ON THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, can we calm down now? This childish behaviour is quite tedious.
To quote the Copyright Policy, "Copyright can be a confusing territory for many people", therefore I am aiming to educate recolour artists who feel that they have been victimised 의해 the removal of their screenshot recolours/edits.
To Quote a good friend of mine,

Screenshot recolours/edits are quite easy to spot. A user may take a screenshot from an anime/game/TV show (although a vast majority of recolours are from animes) found from an external site and 편집 it using some form of editing software (Paint, Photoshop etc). These edits may include: Changing the colour of any characters features/clothing. (For example, dying Narutos hair pink, changing Sonics 모피 to purple)
Slicing the character from a screenshot and adding it to a new background. (For example, taking 나루토 from a screenshot and placing him into a picture of a forest)
Slicing a character from one screenshot and adding him/her to another screenshot.
Adding text to the image to point out something awkward in a screenshot. (For example, LAWL LOOK AT DIZ KNUCKLES IZ CLEERLY TUCHING SONICS BEHIND )
Adding text to an image as a banner. (For example, Happy 13th birthday Kimmy! This is for you! 또는 Thanks for 1,000 hits! ^_^ )
Adding extra features to characters. (For example, adding fangs to Sonic the Hedgehog. I blame Twilight.)
This list could go on for decades, but 당신 get the general idea.
Allow me to explain this part:
당신 take a 나루토 screenshot from an external website, make your own adjustments to it and post it on YouTube. Thats all fine and dandy, but do 당신 know what 당신 are doing 의해 posting that edited screenshot? 당신 are claiming to own Naruto.
Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of Naruto, has currently spanned 44 mangas over a period of nine years. Studio Pierrot, the creators of the anime, have created 315 episodes to this 일 since 2002.
Now, how do 당신 think they would react if they found out some American teenager is claiming to own the rights to Naruto? Needless to say, theyd be in contact with their lawyers pretty quickly.
YouTube does not allow recolours/edits(Even though idiots do it anyway) for one main reason for your wellbeing and theirs.
Why their wellbeing also? If they allowed this type of activity to happen, they could easily be sued also. Would 당신 want to be responsible for one of your favourite websites losing a lot of money? I dont think so. Please note that proper tracing is extremely hard, if not impossible with Paint. All of the legible traces Ive seen have been done using either Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Flash 또는 Adobe Illustrator. To ensure that traces are legible, they open up the screenshot, open a new layer, trace the screenshot on the layer, import the layer to a new document and do the colouring via eyeballing the screenshot. This process can take a few hours, wouldnt 당신 rather do better things with your time than trace existing artwork? Lifes short, darlings.
나루토 and Sonic recolours/edits are the most commonly found on YouTube.
Recolours/edits of fanart are dealt with 더 많이 severely than screenshot/official art recolours. Include the link to the original image in your 신고 and the image will be removed faster than 당신 can say 1337 paint skillz. However, if 당신 are the owner of the art which is being recoloured, it will be removed even faster thanks to the newly added Theft of MY art section.
First of all, kudos to 당신 for being mature in the matter. A lot of recolourers Ive met dont stop until theyre banned, so your maturity should be rewarded with cookies.
For the few mature recolourers Ive met, they are always puzzled about their 다음 step on YouTube. During their time of puzzlement, they always say the same thing:
