Is it infringement to draw pictures with photos on the Internet?

If a party uses another person's work for the purpose of introducing, commenting on or explaining problems, or for non-profit purposes such as personal study, research and appreciation, or pays corresponding remuneration and uses it with the permission of the copyright owner, it shall not be regarded as infringement.
