Hey Eyliana, thanks for the great tips! :) Those both sound like good uses of this paper, I'll try them.
It's funny, I learned PS before I started drawing so I tend to think of my traditional tools in terms of their PS equivalent, rather than the other way around! My sketchbooks and paper are my canvas, my pencils and pens are my brush tool (as are my erasers), and now tracing paper is my layers. ^^ LOL
One use I already like for the tracing paper is practicing ellipses. After I have drawing a bunch and found their minor axis, I fold the paper down the minor axis and check to see if the two halves match. Like Scott Robertson does here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaZmwHU7vZo
