[Helsinki Harlot]

Well I'm glad I gave another perspective. 'Cause I've done a few years of art shit in college and nothing has helped me more than tracing shapes. The way that they make you do the circle, the cone, and the square is the same way you have to practice a human shape. Your hand has to get used to the movement. I draw women better than anything else because I've made myself draw skeletons, trace them, and then trace every shape of a female body to know how it should FEEL when you draw it. As long as you don't try and make a name for tracing stuff, I'm in the camp of tracing = practice. Because it really is. It's why people publish free line art to color so that you can get PRACTICE in.

Especially with a tablet it's way dif. than using a pencil. It feels different, you have to do way dif. things to get what you want on the screen. So practicing the sweeps on the tablet makes it easier to do it on your own. :)

And I'm sick so I prob. rambled to all hell. But yeah. It's a good thing to learn from. :) And her stock especially is very open to helping artists as long as you don't pretend you didn't have a ref or something.

And tell her hey and if you guys are going to bed good night. :)
