I have a few other pieces I've tried redrawing from Pinterest, Is there any way to track down the original artists? Just so I can tag them or credit in the future

You could try using google reverse image search to track down an artist. The results are often flooded with pinterest stuff as well, but you can usually find the source, if you search long enough. I hope this helps :>

It does! sorry again for the plagiarism(?) I'm still not sure on the etiquette of posting art I've copied from (no tracing) online but it seems pretty obvious to me now (I'm dumb) I haven't really interacted with any art community so I wasnt aware of whats okay and wasnt apart from tracing being bad

Don't beat yourself up. You didn't know, now you do. ♥️
Tracing isn't bad. It's a good way to practice. But you should credit the artist you traced from, or at the very least, state your drawing is credited, if you don't know who did it. That way, other people can also help you find the OG artist :D

Thank you for genuinely being really helpful c:

Oh absolutely! Totally honest this was something I had tried emulating a few years ago on from Pinterest..the artist wasn't tagged :S but thank you and sorry :<

Oh, I see! No problem, stuff like this happens. Many people on Pinterest don't source their pins, so I get the struggle with finding the original artist. 😅
I stumbled upon the illustration recently myself on there, which is why I recognized it in the first place.
