Another thing that comes to mind is reading Finding a Likeness: How I Got Somewhat Better at Art by Nicholson Baker (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1984881396/donhosek). Baker talks about tracing other artists’ work as part of his practice and cites an art teacher who initially recommended this, but then chose not to retract the advice when Baker wanted to mention her by name in his book, but Baker himself found that this practice of tracing did, in fact, help him become better at drawing freehand. | ||

I'm a longtime fan of Nicholson Baker's work since I first read The Mezzanine. His close attention to detail and his careful choice of words really impressed me. | ||
