Someone on the internet mentioned Norman Rockwell as an example of the wholesome, traditional America that feminism "is killing". Which just reminded me how much I love Norman Rockwell.
Oh, I looked it up and you're saying he traced them from photographs. *shrug*
He then created the wonderful paintings from those photos.
I look at photos when I paint but rarely trace anything unless it's something I created earlier and want to insert it into another piece.
