That looks great! I think the best thing to remember about tracing is that you don't have to be perfectly following the lines you make - sometimes doing that can make your line art look jagged. Oh and move your whole arm not just the wrist ... those two things saved my life :P And yes I agree sometimes it's easier to just do the details with just the pen :D Your design is great and your son's cat is AMAZING lol I wish I was that good at 5 years old! Super cute! I joined in the challenge too, good luck to you!
