I have the same problem! I'm going to try to address the problem by doing some of those "Draw this in your Style" challenges I've seen on instagram. I think if nothing else, it's going to be good for a laugh. Please no one throw fruit, but I think tracing is fine for practice. Just dont act like you didnt trace it. Hopefully this will work for both of us.

ooooo that sounds like it could be fun! I just made an instagram account for my art a few days back, but haven't posted anything yet. I guess that would be a good way to kick off the account haha. Though, the thought of posting my art does freak me out asdfghjk. Time to face my fears sweat

Also yeah, I think tracing is fine for practice! When I'm trying to figure something out I do it as well. Just as long as it doesn't become a crutch I guess?

But please take my input with a grain of salt. I am just learning.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
