What's the limit on drawing on a layer of someone else's art and making your own edits before it becomes plagiarism?

I've saved a huge HD of manga/anime to trace from for my comic, and it's saving a lot of time rather than constructing the panels myself. But I don't want some autists to accuse me of plagiarism.

You see that little word you used there?

The one that rhymes with "grace" and starts with a t?

There you go. That's how you know that it's plagiarism.

if it's recognizable enough to your "reference" that somebody can tell exactly what image you were looking at, and that image happens to be a drawing by another artist, except to be labeled a tracer/plagiarist.

There's nothing wrong with referencing poses directly via comparison, afterall we do it everyday by transmitting visual data from our eyes to our hands, but you will NEVER become even a halfway decent artist if you don't learn to draw off of your own steam first. When you trace you learn absolutely nothing.
