tracing has always been seen as bad or wrong. well i'm here to burst your mindset/bubble. Why is tracing good?: - it can help you in art, teach you how to draw better. - it teaches beginners on how to draw people, animals, plants and more. tracing is a good teaching method if you wanna learn how to draw, don't be ashamed if you traced something! if you post it somewhere public, make sure to credit though. if you traced for a learning experience then that's good. what did we learn kids? tracing isn't always a bad thing. just credit people if you do this in public areas of sites and places in real life. it's good for teaching you.
