For one, it's a great way to learn. By copying the work of others, you can see how they achieved their results and learn their techniques. You can also get inspired by their ideas and find new ways to express your own creativity. Copying can also help you build your skills and become a better artist.

Copying can be useful for learning techniques and styles but combining it with understanding underlying principles and experimenting fosters true artistic growth.

What is the difference between normal pencils and drawing pencils?
Regular pencils, such as HB or 2B, are versatile for general writing and drawing. Sketch pencils, on the other hand, are designed for artists with softer leads (e.g., 4B to 6B) for darker, more expressive lines and shading.
