Drawing Techniques: It's Okay to Trace

   It's okay to trace. As long as you're paying attention to what you're doing and what the original artist did. It's okay to trace.

   As a learning exercise, I mean. Trace a drawing right there in the center of the paper, and then around the edges; make sketches that demonstrate the techniques you learned. I'd post up some of my own art where I did this, but seeing how the entire center of the page would be occupied by a cheap copy of someone else's most-likely-copyrighted work of art, I think I'll skip that.
