In this traced mode of drawing, you are using the trace bar to switch between the reference image and your canvas. This allows you to pick colors from the reference image and apply to your canvas. In addition, it will help you to draw the strokes by following the reference image, just set the trace bar to a comfortable position where you can see the reference image as well as your drawing strokes.
Don't worry if you don't get the drawing exactly as you wanted. especially if you are just starting out. Just keep practicing and make progress little by little. You can save the drawing and always come back to it. Above all, don't give up, especially if your goals are to learn drawing and improve your skills.
Post your drawing to the community section of the app, where I will be able to review it and provide you with further feedback.
