what's your stance of tracing references cause i'm a beginner and apparently it's a cardinal sin if you're an artist and you do that
I do that especially if I'm struggling! ( hands..) And I try again to see if I can do it without tracing, lmao! I try not to rely on tracing simply because I notice how much stiffer my work will be but that's just me! As long as you make sure to credit your references and/or make it known to be a study, it should never be an issue! Anyone who tells you otherwise is setting yall up for failure. Do what's comfortable for you to improve! Eventually you won't have to rely on tracing to get started! Now, if you are tracing another artists work and claiming it as your own, that's the issue!
Here are some vids on the topic! And how you can use references to your benefit!
