hai bookie ! I wanna get into drawing and my drawings skills aren’t the best, I heard that tracing real life people, for example let’s say anton, is a great start to learning anatomy and just drawing in general. But I’ve seen so much hate surrounding that idea , saying it’s not true art, and I do wanna start posting art but I don’t want to get hate. What’s your opinion on it?

hello thank you for your question!!🥹 also omg i literally just brought this up on my priv the other day😭 i do think it’s a pretty good way of learning anatomy, i actually brought it up because i noticed a lot of my fellow fanartists do it! i personally don’t do it because i learn better by using the picture as reference and trying to draw the shapes i see if that makes sense. i feel like it gives you a better idea of where things go, even though its definitely way more difficult it really helps with drawing your own poses!!😭 but i don’t think tracing will make people hate you, you also don’t have to tell anyone HAHA but as long as you are drawing it, its real art! i can’t wait to see your drawings if you end up making any🥹🫶🏼🫶🏼
