GUYS!!! PSA: that's her own drawing... she's tracing it because she drew it on sketch paper and wanted to paint it in watercolor, so she needs tp move it. This literally isn't the same tracing you'rr thinking of... it's used as a tool to transfer art to a new paper. You can even use it to clean up line art- like if you have a super messy sketch, you can trace just the clean parts and pick off from there. As far as tracing others artwork, i mean, it doesn't really matter in this case cause that's not what she was doing, but generally as long as you arent claiming ownership or are using it to learn, it's fine. so digital artists, to adress to comments i keep seeing: No, traditionally artists don't just "get" to trace. We do it like you guys do. If your sketch get's to messy, you migjt trace over the important parts and then copy that on another layer. It's the same thing.

I traced for my final art piece in highschool. I did realistic portraits. I initially felt like I was cheating, but my teacher assured me that anyone drawing to my scale of realism would be tracing. I've kept that in mind when I trace these days, and I've noticed that I've learnt so much about anatomy and proportions by tracing.

Realism is all about the rendering, which is already a huge pain in the ass without having to eyeball the proportions. The best solution is to draw from sight when sketching, for learning purposes, and trace for finished pieces, to get the best possible results.

You can also get charcoal paper. It's basically a combination of the graphite she added to the tracing paper, and well the tracing paper. You tape the charcoal paper to the paper you want to trace the image onto (dark side down), then you tape the original piece over the charcoal paper. You trace the image, and the charcoal transfers onto the bottom layer of paper.

It's a huge art tip to trace. Not to claim that the art is yours but to learn proportions and placement. I learned SO MUCH when I traced. It helped me to draw freehand so much better

My art teacher taught me a method that doesn't even need the tracing part. You get either a graphite block / charcoal or something and rub it all over the back of the image you want to trace. Then you tape the image to the area where you want it to be. Simply grab a pencil or something and make lines on the image that you want to show on the paper.

Light boards and mini projectors can also be great tools if you have the budget!!!

might want to invest in a light table if you're going to be tracing a lot. There are a lot of cheap options online. Some people even do a more diy light table approach and use either a glass table with a lamp underneath, or a glass window on a sunny day to trace stuff. You could also print a lighter version of the picture you want to trace, put soft graphite (like 4b and up) behind it, and trace directly from the picture. It saves a few steps

Back in my day we didn’t have this many step’s to tracing an image. We just got the image we wanted to trace, place it on a clear glass table with a light under it, and trace it one time. There wasn’t any rough drawing, just the original, and your tracing of it.

Also, you can get graphite paper to go under tracing paper when transferring, too! And use the same graphite paper a load of times!! Honestly, it is really useful when you want to do a drawing as a painting on a canvas, but want a plan beforehand, in your sketchbook.

I'd say it's a matter of personal preference for stuff like this, since it's a photograph. She did say she liked the original orientation. There is a small setback for artists, though, where an image they draw from scratch might look absolutely riddled with errors once it's flipped. Even if it looks generally fine unflipped. It's weird to describe, lol. Maybe the traced outline just looked a bit off flipped so she kept it normal.

It’s actually pretty easy on procreate! Just change the opacity to about 30%

It is simpler to trace digital artwork. Save image, put it in the program you use, create more layers, and boom. Trace.

The scribble scrabble works or you can use carbon paper which is one of the best things my art teacher showed me and I'm glad I was introduced to it

Damn I’m happy I just learned to draw.

Heck yeah! Let’s destigmatize tracing in art! As long as credit is given and you use it for practice/nonprofit purposes it is completely fine and you can learn a lot!

She is tracing her own art... how is that not obvious

Tracing is no fun because then you can't tell your friends that you were the one who drew it lmao. Have faith in yourself. You're capable of whatever you choose to be capable of. And I know that you're definitely capable of drawing something on your own. You have talent and this is still so beautiful.

she is tracing her own drawing… she just wanted to transfer it onto a different page so she could add watercolor without using the original sketch.

First of all she is tracing her own art second of all tracing is good if you are beginner and don't claim as your art

Nice to see tracing being done well as a tool. So many people, myself included grew up thinking it was somehow cheating.

THANK YOU I have a sketchbook with tracing paper, but I never figured out how to do it till now

Until today I thought I wasn’t doing right, it felt like copying somehow to me even tho i've been tracing my own drawing like this... At least now i know,i wasn’t doing the wrong thing 😑

Nah tracing your own drawing is fine, just never photos or someone else’s art.

The difference is if you are using a reference image by someone else’s artwork.

I would argue that you should ALWAYS trace things that you want to replicate from other artists, but ONLY for practice. If you trace to learn different proportions and styles you can really accelerate your learning. If it makes you feel any better about it, never finish a drawing that’s traced, just leave markings all over it to remember how to make the proportions

Digital artists: *Copy&Paste*

that’s literally so much work 😭

I'm an art student and I guarantee this helps save so much time!! I personally just press a lil harder on the paper to get more visible lines.

My name is Zoey Hepburn my parents were gonna name me Audrey but nope i don’t think im related to her tho

Nothing sucks more than having to trace your art into another kind of paper it’s literally torture

I finally get it! Saving this video! Thank you.

The Idea: Drawing is a Talent

This is how I learnt to trace, that's where the 6b and the 2h pencils are at their finest

She said "drawring" so cute. And yup. I used to do this alot.

How is the first time I'm realizing what tracing paper is for. I literally didn't know you could use it for transfers. This will make future paintings so much easier for me

Tracing is a helpful tool for transferring art between papers without ruining the original drawing. Graphite paper can be a useful alternative to traditional tracing paper.

You just made me an artist.

Not everyone has a light box, but I highly recommend it!

I never knew how to use this paper before, wow, thanks!

I actually never truly knew how to use tracing paper. Thank you so much. 😂

Tracing paper is so magical I love using it

My Highschool art teacher taught us to go back over the initial tracing with a colored sharpie then put the graphite on the back liberally then use either a pencil or a stylus (she literally had da styluses we could use) to transfer it from the trace paper to our canvases it worked every time and I still as an adult do it that way

This is great! I just started watercolor and I suck at portraits. This is great practice.

I use a light box. I made my first light box myself with a wooden box, glass from an old picture frame on top, and with a light bulb that I got from an old lamp (that I removed the lamp parts leaving the wire and light socket) and put it inside the box. It did tend to get really warm after about 20 minutes. But worked like a dream. But now I use a very thin “light box” that I got from Amazon that is plastic, with LED lights. Saves on tracing paper, and more precise when adding lots of different items from different sources onto your picture.

Damn she turned mere lines into a whole painting.

This is actually a great practice....it will help you so much in drawing perfect proportions and all
