Don't copy me

May I just use the pictures as references to be able to get things to look right and in proportion? For my own personal stuff, won't be selling them or anything. Just like to draw. I still haven't put anything on here because I don't want my stuff to be copied and/or owned by someone else when they didn't do the work. That and I'm afraid I'll get laughed at for my actual drawings. Anyway... love your pictures!!!
