Redrawing art...is it legal?

Question

I'd like to make note cards with art from an online image company. I don't want to download and print out the image, rather, hand draw on the notecards. I'd like to take a head from one of their images, and the background building of another image, and a dress from another image, etc. combined into my own altered image. Is this legal if I didn't recreate their art exactly, and can I sell it?

Thanks a ton!

Answer 1

depends. if you just use it as a loose reference thats ok, it has to not look very much the same at all though.
