well

as much as you can instantly get something nice looking if you trace
it's more about training your eye
it's kind've essential for Anyone doing visual art of any kind.

if you can draw perfectly freehand, it's not that you have a pointless skill that can be undermined by tracing... it just allows you to do everything better.

i'd recomend life drawing to photographers.
but they look at me funny :)

also that IS some mighty nice drawing!
although people like that just make we want to give up with their stupid mastery :(
mind you... i AM only 20... this guy's probably been practising a while longer than me...

I'm 42

and have been drawing technically for my work for years.
I can sketch well, and I can paint in any number of mediums. I just don't.
All it comes down to now is a little hobby and I make pictures to please me and if someone else happens to like them then all the better.
