So let me restate my basic points since this subject came up originally in this thread.

I say that when you are drawing a line a substantial aspect of the process goes into visualizing its beginning and end point and all the sexiness in between. More so than being able to draw smooth clean lines using pure muscle memory. Also when copying a reference one can not actually look at the subject and focus on it at the exact same time as they are applying lines to the page. Thus a window of visualization from the short term visual memory must occur in order for the artist to successfully depict the subject. This is why almost everyone can trace an image but few can achieve the same accuracy free handing.
