Occasionally I will take drawings or illustrations from artists I admire and sketch their work for practice. Tony Diterlizzi is one artist that I use as practice quite often. I believe that copying other illustrator's pieces can help strengthen ones own style of drawing. I find that I can practice refining my own work without having to be weighed down mentally by thinking of an original idea. Even though these sketches are copied, my style can still be seen coming through, as subtle as that may be.
