>>773134>but usually comes out kind of ugly lookingYeah, no kidding, the first trace I tried, when I took the photo away, I recoiled in disgust. I was impressed with how the one in my OP turned out, though, as well as a couple of others.
I don't see myself as having art worthy of being the focus of a book, but as a supplement, maybe. I've been focusing too on making images out of only a few shapes, i.e., the most distinctive parts I take away from a scene. Like pic related; I made a really sloppy freehand sketch of a model but I liked certain parts of it and simplified it and just practiced drawing those shapes perfectly. I think it came out alright.
