As long as he is not trying to sell or show the work it is just fine :) It is very good practice, and he probably finds it very relaxing. Encourage his interest in drawing! Down the road, if he continues, then you could discuss originality, etc. That's my input!Janhttp://amongthesehills.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674313104544718575.post-88867729416192759312010-05-20T22:05:12.285-07:002010-05-20T22:05:12.285-07:00Those are awesome.
And I don't know... when...Those are awesome. <br /><br />And I don't know... when a friend of mine was learning art in middle school, she started by tracing but still took the credit. ;) Then she moved to grids, and now she free hands. She's super talented but she did start by tracing. I say if he's interested, keep encouraging him to try different things- they have awesome "how to draw a dog", etc. books that start with a circle and you learn from there. The first step towards being a good artist is learning to draw and maybe he doesn't realize that's technically tracing, not drawing? Ah well. I say encourage the interest. It might just be the first step towards a lifelong hobby. :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618442776884610059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674313104544718575.post-6762283247947976832010-05-20T15:24:26.178-07:002010-05-20T15:24:26.178-07:00Wowzers!
