Only Narcissists steal work. They can't get enough friggin attention...

personally, if it were me, i'd pass all the credit to the owner of the original... but that's just me.

Nothing really. Maybe for practice to improve on something you're not use to, until you get the feel for it on your own. But really no credit or freehand work when it comes to copying and tracing.
