Learn through tracingby =CasablancaStudios

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Animals

This is a walk through for people who like to use references heavily, which in my eyes is completely fine. As long as you learn from it! So this was what I thought was required for a group's competition but ends up I misunderstood so this is just going to turn into a quick learning tut. Hope you enjoy

Nice tutorial! I never do this, but it really seems like a good way to learn, especially for people who can't actually be around horses to learn their anatomy. ^^

It is how I taught myself in Middle school when I first began drawing horses. Now I have had 2 horses and my current one is a very good model

~weezapony Jun 27, 2011

haha, most horses are good models, they just love to show off!

Pretty brave of you to do this, and I agree that tracing is a good way to learn, though I don't do it myself, I still think there isn't anything particularly wrong with it c:

Very nice tutorial by the way c:

thank you! And this is how I learned to draw horses back in Middle School. I rarely use refs anymore but occasionally when I can't see to make something look right I will look at a picture and be like "ahh, that's why this looks off"

I don't even think this is tracing. It is simply finding positioning and posing. The actual drawing was all you so I wouldn't call it tracing, and when someone says this is tracing then its like they are grouping it with art that lacks originality completely.

Well I guess it is partial tracing cause you are drawing over a picture. But it is not true tracing where you draw an outline over the picture, with this you learn.

I think this a great way to learning and getting better - although we all naturally want to end up getting the same result freehand

But it's a shame that so many get bashed in the head for doing this, as if it was the same as outline tracing. So I think it's great if people learn to divide tracing into different categories
