So basically i trace poses
A lot
So when i decided to just copy on my own since i was to lazy to trace
It turned out pretty good.
So if someone tells you not to trace, just ignore them.
It can actually familiarize your hands with the strokes so just dont be too dependent on it and think of it as a tool.

whatever you do is better than doing nothing at all.

the thing about tracing is that, it is part of some exercises, when trying to get certain measures, copying a certain artist style, doing certain anatomy studies and many more, but the word trace has a massive stigma, people will cancel you just by mentioning, the thing is, if you are a beginner, even when tracing you can't get good results, line, form gesture and many others can't be done by just tracing, in the end you can't run from studying properly, you need fundamentals
