The [[David Bowie]] article gets around the lack of

When does a drawing start violating copyright? Drawings are quite
subjective, is there much value in them?
Well, that's a very different question than the one we've been
throwing around here. It depends on the photograph, and it depends on
the drawing, and in the end it the final work itself is invoking a
fair use concern in one capacity or another since it is definitely
derivative.
