Re: I finally get it!
(Anonymous) 2013-10-25 12:06 am (UTC)(link)And you're fine if you started out tracing too! It's a perfectly valid way to learn. People only get upset if you post it.
Art's such a cool thing to get into and you really only need a pencil and paper to start out. But then it's really neat how different people's artwork turns out. I'm glad you're starting to get the hang of things, anon!
Art is so cool.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-25 12:29 am (UTC)(link)I was afraid for the longest time because I had a friend who told me it was always cheating. Like I told them that I was doing it out of my drawing book for practice and they still thought it was cheating. *shrug* But I think they might have been biased because they've had trouble with art thieves and tracers and such before. That kept me off for a while. But then I realized "hey I'm not doing anything wrong with it I'm not using it and no one will know if I do it to learn. I'm not hurting anyone and it's the way I learn best."
Since I started doing it I've seen amazing progress. Nowadays I can look at something like an illustration in a manga comic and remember the moves it took to replicate stuff and I can draw something just by looking at it.
I have a method of using tutorials to practice off of by doing layers upon layers. Then I delete all the extra layers and go onto something else. I figure that a person who wanted to use tracing to cheat would see this as pointless because it's destroying the traces but really I don't need the traces....I just need the understanding I get from the exercise. I don't need the traced layers because they weren't really mine to begin with.
It is cool :3
