If you are going to repost my illustrations, I would appreciate it greatly if you include a link to the full tutorial in the description. It may be found on my web site--> [link]
Thank you for leaving my signature in tact.

Thank you. I do appreciate that you left the labels, and that you gave credit. That's why I don't object to you having these posted on your account. However, I am also a very firm believer in providing links. I believe that if you reference someone else's work (or even your own), it's always worth including a link to the original or full content. Most people will not go to the trouble of putting the name into a search engine, but if they want more info they might click a link. When you want to share info online, it is more effective if you make it as easy as possible for the viewer. Also, just having the creator's name is not a guarantee that a web search will lead someone to the full content.
I am on the extremely relaxed end of the spectrum regarding reposting of my work. I put it online to share and in this case educate, and so I am delighted when other people find it worth sharing as well. Some people really get in a tizzy about reposting, so much so that it baffles me why they bother to post anything at all. If it's online it will get snagged, and probably also reposted at least once, maybe with, and maybe without credit. I watermark everything, and as long as the watermarks stay, I don't care about snagging or reposting. Odds are, though, if the watermarks are removed I'll never find out about it, so I don't worry about that either. It's not worth the stress.
