tracing often becomes a crutch. and if one traces the artworks of others, it can lead to problems with plagiarism
learning to reference by eye, or using the grid method, are valuable tools as well, and ones i use constantly
tracing is like training wheels, but the goal should be to learn how to draw, with or without reference, without the tracing part
i've noticed the art meta lately is people who say that referencing and/or tracing is an absolute no-no, and people who say you should just trace constantly to learn
honestly, i feel like it should be somewhere in the middle. referencing is 100% fantastic and everyone does it whether they admit it or not; even the masters used reference, typically looking at others' work, or having models or props to paint from
however...
