Tracing, starting out doing objects rather than people is a good idea

Thanks for @ing me lol.
So i usually actually just trace most of my best figures from the internet. Like my Dark Stardust and excalibur. Those which were most detailed and stuff. But some others were tweaked or inspired and actually original, not traced.
For me, I usually use different shapes to create my figures. But for traced weapons, i generally use more segments and the more essential nodes. My figure creation focusses on gradients a lot. There’s a lot to tell. Should I make tutorials on my youtube channel for this? Someone else asked help from me as well.
Well I also think experience is 30% but skills and methods are 70% of how your figure comes out. I always get better not by repeatedly making new figures without trying new things. Over the course of the 2 years i’ve been animating and stickfigure creation, I’ve been downloading other’s figures and learning their techniques.
