How to draw a celebrity without copyright infringement?
If i draw a celebrity (from a free image or from a combination of several images) would that be illegal? Do I have to draw in a scar or freckles to my drawing to prevent copyright infringement, or can I just leave it the way it is? This picture is for an art contest and may be duplicated and sold.

To the extent that your drawing contains protectable elements from a copyrighted image, then you may be infringing on copyright. Simply adding a scar or freckles does not avoid infringement.
