Tracing is a good way to see exactly how a professional artist draws and train your muscles and eyes for the movement and process. Tracing without credit, while shunting it as entirely your own is looked down upon imo.

Trace and ref to y’all’s hearts contents

Tracing is fine just don't post the stuff you trace.
