My first time actually trying on something in paint, thanks to the creator of Dandy for the idea.

I'm normally not a huge fan of interactives, but if you made one about a squad of these badasses, I would read it religiously.

Do you guys remember that interactive thread I made?
I decided to work on some character design. This'll probably be one of the hostages, or at least one of the employees of Boring Office Inc.

I don't have any drawing now, but just a question regarding MS Paint..
Whenever I use Paint (which is rarely because of this problem), it crashes and just stops responding after a very short time (like, 1-5 minutes) and this is really frustrating, so whenever I draw shit I use Paint.NET but anyways, is there anything you know that could cause this problem?

(boy)friend scanned a paper drawing of his D&D character, traced and coloured it.

same deal as above, he drew anthro chibis in TF2 and I traced over it.

People at Walt Disney trace sometimes, man Walt Disney animations are bad!
"Tracing is bad" sounds kinda like some sort of religious way of thinking in FP and propably is one of the first things you spout to your kids when they become self aware. Tracing isn't actually that bad form of practice if you just take it as practice that is, instead of just showing off uselessly or doing paid work as fast as possible. Besides, taking a reference is in a way tracing too, it's copying a shape either partially, alternatively or completely, but and ofcourse not as directly and exactly as in tracing.
Disney reuse their own animations, disregarding that their studio can make incredible animations and artwork without it. There's a difference between budget cuts and laziness.
The first difference between learning from a reference and tracing is that you don't learn anything from tracing, I've seen people who trace for [I]years[/I] and learn virtually nothing. The second thing is that it is [I]nothing like tracing at all.[/I] To draw from a reference properly you have to understand the form and values, to trace you have to know where the outlines are.
[editline]3rd November 2011[/editline]
There is literally no excuse for tracing instead of drawing from reference when doing life art.
There are excuses for people like graphic designers, who vectorize old logos or stock images when time is short or if they simply aren't good at drawing (but are good designers)
I've seen people who take reference for years and virtually learn nothing as well. You can memorize shapes done while taking a reference and eventually learn the forms and values as you can memorize traced outlines and eventually learn to alter them to completely original line art.
You're comparing somebody looking at math examples and then solving equations to somebody just copying the answers and saying that just because the former might not work, the latter is okay. It isn't.
By tracing, some help an artist grow, some just keep them on the same plane.
It can define, reproducing a cleaner version of your own work; its more like a technique than a means of learning. Or either just a shortcut threw your all long artwok only when exact, that you can do that too, but you're only too lazy or in a hurry to do it. I also think, it can increase your imagination capabillitys when thinking, how to change it your way. So if you ask me, tracing is not a complete waste of time, actually just a much longer, less affective and lazier way to study art. I suggest when tracing, from time to time stop and do something completely their own, just to see, are their artistic skills improving without tracing or not. If not, then you just aren't good at drawing.
it's universally useless and in most cases detrimental (ignoring the previous graphic design context, of course)
