tracing is sometimes fine, under specific circumstances
sometimes if i can't figure out how to draw something i trace over it to get an idea of what the basic shape of it is if that makes sense - but i don't take the traced-over image and post it, i just think about what shapes i just used while tracing over it and then i draw those shapes again and make some changes so it looks nice, so it's not directly tracing
however there's not much point in just tracing over a picture and posting it other than if you're trying to steal it. there's not really much skill involved in just tracing so it's not impressive, it's just a picture which has been traced over
so basically tracing is ok if you're just starting to learn how to draw a specific thing, but you shouldn't do it all the time and there's no need to post it
have you noticed how whenever i make a post that's even slightly long it's just me going over the same points over and over again with slightly different wording sorry
