I find your comment on my dragon ible to be offensive.

Oi, I've been reading some of your comments on the art instructables, and I agree in principle. The art process takes time and needs to be honed. Tracing and gridding should be used as tools, just like a computer and Photoshop. Personally, I trace or grid references for later use and then sketch them separately into my final works. I realized it hinders my process to constantly check the lines or make a perfect tracing. I've "traced" in Photoshop as well, but the technique and process I was working on required it for the final look. (Usually I'm asked to do a retroscoped-like picture.) But, I never take it as my own work unless I took the picture or have permission, etc. So, with that long comment, thanks for the comments and the thoughts provoked. Keep up the good work.
