    Random picture from a non-native: what does “tracing a picture” mean in this context?

    I couldn’t find the meaning

      It means putting a blank piece of paper over the picture and using the picture to help you draw on the sheet. So instead of free-drawing a pigeon you are copying/tracing it.

        Ahhh, thanks! It’s important not to scratch the screen, though - paper makes a poor screen protection :D

          Most phone screens today are very hard. A graphite pencil will not do permanent damage. Avoid using metal tip pens and you should be fine.
