In everyone's oppinions, are using photoshop brushes you download, considered cheating? Like, say I'm in the daily sketch forum and the topic is "make a guy with wings." There are wing or feather brushes out there. If I draw a guy then use a wing/feather brush, is that cheating? or is that within the relm of possibility because it's a ps brush? Also, I would think creativity with the brush has something to do with it too but...

Please let me know your oppinion!
