This is the picture I used to draw from. I used my iPad to look at so no I don't trace and yes I did it without the help of anything. All I used was my special art paper, a normal number 2 pencil a sharpener and my hands and fingers. It's not perfect yet. The pic I drew will be in the next chapter cause I don't know how to insert 2 pics or more in a chapter.

Someone help with that.
My other drawings will be in my book called "my poems" cause I took pictures of them and posted it then deleted them and I'm too lazy to take more pics and re upload so go look at that and you can ignore the writing. But note that in my actual art book I've done some work to the ones I wasn't completely pleased with so they're fixed from their errors mostly. I can't get alois trancy's eyes straight though. From the tilted head it looks straight but if you turn it so you can see his face lined up perfectly it's crooked and it's driving me mad but I can fix it cause the eraser won't completely erase it and it'll leave smudges and just get worse, just know I tried but that was the end result (what was posted)
