meanwhile there are artists who traced or heavily referenced (practically traced, with small modifications) who now have professional jobs in the industry, or have published comics. most of the successful patreon artists just do paintovers.
while retarded nerds keep drawing boxes thinking anyone cares about the process. in the age of technology with the wealth of references on the internet, you're only gimping yourself while everyone moves ahead of you. vilpu, loomis, and all the other dinosaurs worshiped here are only holding beginners back in the modern age.

First off, go ahead do it if its so easy. second some people want to draw things for which there is no reference. sage

yeah ok....

Go ahead then, do just that and come back here once you're a successful patreon artist.

Looks like you've figured it all out OP. Time to leave /ic/ and make a million bucks by tracing portrait for your patrons. Don't quit your day job just yet though.
Look, you don't need drawing boxes for 1000 hours, but if you're a beginner a month or two of doing these fundamental exercises is well recommended. It helped me a lot with my line quality and spacial thinking.
