Tracing is good as long as you do so mindfully and for practice. There may be more or less useful types of practice, but they are never really bad for you. Also a whole lot of professional artists use 3D models to reference difficult poses. They can't allow themselves to waste time experimenting, so they essentially trace for the sketch.

i keep seeing people say how tracing isnt all that bad unless you claim you drew it.

also im so glad for once someone isnt going 'you NEED to learn realistic muscles and skeletons before you can draw anime girls!!' like I get the sentiment, but.,,, not for everyone.,,

*edit: ...most... not must ^^°

If you have photoshop or other software that supports animations, you can do it in animation frames too. You don't actually need to animate anything, but most software of this type that has animations remember layers visibility as part of animation frames, so you can just use that.

Use folders! Put all your layers in a folder, duplicate the folder, edit it in one folder. It serves the same function pretty much, but does require more layers

alright buddy we get it you like slenderman type builds

@@parystyrellno legs are one of the main things that can actually be most of your height

@@parystyrell I said the real long legs.

@@soloanima1 it's a joke, I repeat it's a joke we can wrap it up😭

The thing that worked for me is to learn how to work and rotate cubes, cylinders, spheres, rectangular prisms and ellipsoids (funny cubes and spheres) Then you take said shapes and then draw them spinning around slowly like an animation set to draw every angle Spin one axis at a time, x y z then two, and then 3 to get a feel then you work on perspective, draw them close, then far and maybe draw them rotating! really push how BIG you can exaggerate the faces close to the viewer and really shrink the stuff far away. The more silly the stronger the effect. finally you combine the shapes together to make more complicated shapes Kinda like how a forearm is basically a cylinder with a sphere at the end and then those two shapes are blended together These are just suggestions, but the IMPORTANT takeaway is to really hone your sense of experimentation !!!Find out what parameters to mess with, and then play with the limits of those parameters!!! You'd be surprised with what you can get away with. Like how you can suggest an entire eyeball with just a single dot lol anyways. GL!
