Thanks Robert. V. useful as I've just started a drawing course at local "night school". Banishing the tracing paper for good is the goal.

So pleased someone has noticed this! Did I ever use tracing paper - yes; yes, I know I did.  It did me no harm in the end, but practising drawing freehand does bring much bigger rewards than tracing things.
