I would be wary with tracing depending on how /beg/ you are. A good practice might be to draw from a ref photo and then do the drawing again but with tracing. Then go back to your original drawing and "fix" the areas you think look wrong/wonky/could be better now that you've traced the reference photo and have a better idea of the shapes/angles that would better convey the object/ scene. Also, if you're going to trace, keep it loose and don't trace every little bump and curve. Take curves and "compress" them to straight lines/angles to help you get used to seeing the most important shapes, only trace over some of the texture on an object, etc. Pic related is kind of what I mean (it's not a trace-over though).
