> My reasoning is this.When drawing from life, like the cast or live model, we will not have a tracing paper to use. It is best not to use it now rather push one self, our mind, our eye to see the mistakes. Measuring with a string should be enough to meashure and check. Can you see the beniffit? In the next category of exercises, there wont be a actual taped down plumb line, on the copy, all the time, to work from, only a imaginery plumb line. A plimb line that one will place visualise the point from which to measure and measure.
As for the tracing paper exercise. This principle can be used for shape exercises. Draw a shape, simple at first, then attempt to reproduce it perfectly. Give your self three checks with a tracing paper. The ear exercises, and such, can be used but it is better to draw shapes of sort. This way you are not atemting to make something look like a ear or an eye rather to make it exactly like the shape.
