Why is tracing a good way to begin to learn how to draw?
Many artists teach themselves drawing and anatomy by looking at other artists and by tracing. For example, when I was a kid, I would trace my superhero comics, and I think that helped me in the long run. There’s nothing wrong with using others’ work as a reference and a teaching tool. You’ll find that eventually you’ll begin to do your own thing and your skills will grow, and you won’t need to trace any longer! The knowledge will be part of you, and that’s when you can begin to create your own work and develop your own style.
