In Praise of Tracing

BASQUIAT REMIX by ERIC KIM

I’ve been tracing for fun, to better understand the mind of other artists.

Untitled Basquiat

Do you remember as a kid, we would trade to learn art? I’ve been doing that with the iPad and Procreate app, to learn about proportions, and feel the spirit of my favorite artists. Basquiat being one of my favorites.

I’ve been loving tracing, because it’s fun. I feel like a kid again.

Also, it helps me feel the dynamism of lines. Also to inject fun color into images I love.

I’ve especially loved reading car designs, because the proportions are divine:

Also, tracing my photos has been a good way to analyze my own compositions after the fact.

Trace art or your own photos for fun or the work of the masters.

And most of all, have fun :)

Always,
Eric
