Next time you can use what you learned from tracing to draw one on your own. A lot can be learned from drawing over photos! I use to do this all the time in MS Paint. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a very grainy, distant photo of a cute bluebird perched on the side of a tree, in the fog. (See profile pic.) 2. The next bird to draw happened to be the Eastern Bluebird. 3. I joined Whatbird with Sialia sialis as my username. Therefore... I just had to draw one and enter it! Maybe it's cheating a bit because I don't have to draw a tail or feet... but... here it is! That’s really good Edited September 20, 2021 by PalmWarbler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
