evidence_seeker? Are you people for realz?
Read the wank:

This is a tutorial written by
elicia8 where she explicitly states that she does use tracing to get her outline. Check out step 3.
My favorite parts?

elicia8] discourages others from making and posting their own -- less perfect but more honest -- work.
SUCKS IF THERE ARE BETTER ARTISTS OUT THERE THAN YOU, DOESN'T IT. AW POOR BABIES.
ETA:
Here's the Fandom Wank entry!
The wank reporter links to
this additional piece of evidence. I quote one of the OPs: *cue sad, disapproving tone* "Light boxes are great tools for tracing."
THIS DRAWING IS TAKEN FROM THE TUTORIAL I LINKED ABOVE! WAY TO FAIL!!
