Does tracing pictures help skills? Hi :) I'm a wannabee artist kindof and I heard somewhere that if you trace pictures, it can improve your drawing skills? Is this true? If not, what will improve my skills? Thanks!

It depends. It can help you get the different shapes of whatever you're drawing, but in the long run, I don't think it's going to help THAT much.
Practice will definitely help (duh!). Start off with simple things without much detail and try to copy them.
Try different medias, too. You might feel like you suck at drawing with pencils, but find it better to use charcoal/paints/pen/etc.
Also, they key is to just take your time. Don't rush - it spoils pictures.
Have fun! ]
tracing a picture will not improve your drawing skills, however, what will is taking pictures and redrawing them to the best of your ability. Hope I could help o^-^o ]
