The moment you want to draw a fan art, but you don't want people to come at you and call you "tracer" and "faker" again :")

This is probably the strongest reason on why I don't draw fanarts, even if I enjoy them a lot

I draw fanart almost way to much, but that is for several factors. The only factor that is external is because my ocs doesn't seem to do well unless it's a challenge
I think you probably got into the wrong communities or ran into bullies if you got that response regardless of tracing. Wherever you feel like doing fanart try not to let that stop you from doing what you want.
