Is it Ok for Artists to Trace?

Is it ok to trace in art? Is tracing instead of drawing cheating? How do professional artists think about tracing? Tracing is a bit of a taboo in the art and illustration world, but it's actually a tool that is used by many professional artists! In today's video, I want to tackle this hot topic and talk about when/why tracing can be a useful tool, and when it's best to be avoided. Essentially it all comes down to your artistic goals!
