"But thinking from the viewpoint of someone offering advice to an artist who is starting out, I'd never tell them to not bother to learn how to draw. I'd never tell them that "there is a simpler way"
I would never give such advice. This is silly advise and should be tossed without regard. I think drawing is a wonderful skill. I practice it almost everyday. I would do nothing but encourage anyone to work hard and become skilled at drawing. For me personally, tracing is crossing the line (sorry) but my argument is this: be true to yourself, and arrive at completion with a happy heart and with as good a work as you can muster. People will judge the outcome not the process.
Have a nice weekend, Mike
