Tracing (art)

Tracing is the act of copying an image or work of art by drawing over its lines, especially through the use of transparent overlays.

[1] Tracing can provide a way for a person to develop their artistic skills for example when it comes to learning anatomy.

It is however frowned upon in many art circles.
