Garcon a la pipe

This is an image or a drawing or a trace job from a famous painting. The original painting in 2004 goes for over a hundred million dollars hardly a picture very few of us can afford. It's merely a rough sketch I'm not an artist but I am learning from the real artist and how to recognize some of their great works of art. Many say tracing is cheating but they say all the artists do which I really don't understand I do understand however that making pictures by tracing is so similar to singing a song composed by someone else. Pablo Picasso the great artist painted this one entitled Garcon A La Pipe. It probably took me longer to draw from it than it did Picasso to do ten of his paintings. Modern day pictures are easily enhanced through editing as I've discovered lately. Tracing it is said is a way of learning how to draw. We shall see.
