  • Then again.... I'd be hard pressed to watch someone work on a car engine and duplicate the work myself or for that matter put together a computer...but it doesn't make me jealous that someone else can do it...Classic question: "Did you do that freehand?"

  • It's funny how common it is to interpret "tracing" as cheating. As an animator, it takes a very good artist to be able to trace and interpret the other drawings well. People are often naturally jealous because so many wish they could draw or paint too. The hand/eye coordination it takes to interpret a rough layout for a portrait. Grids are so helpful--then again I also love to blow up an image with an artograph or PC projector and trace it onto the canvas.

  • @JonoScarbridge You sir, are retarded. Can you define the word 'trace'? Does it loo like that guy traced it? No, he used an image as a reference; which we all do and then merely implemented a grid to help keep the image in direct proportion. People tend to do the grid method when x2 a certain image, but nevertheless, it's not tracing.

  • Using Grids is not tracing! Its an important tool in training your eye to see scale and proportion when drawing. Tracing requires no thought in these matters. When transferring an image using a grid you are drawing all the lines using your own eye to determine the size and position, not an underlying line already in place for you to simply go over. All a grid does is make one large picture become many small pictures. You still have to copy each one perfectly using your freehand drawing skills.

  • so in other words it's another way to trace :| not impressed
