my current method of drawing is creating a large collage of images to create a pose i want, then drawing over it. i'm concerned if is this considered tracing??

Technically yeah, I don’t see a problem with it though…if you don’t want to trace, you can use the poses as reference images instead (draw the pose to the side while looking at your picture)

I’m not an artist so take this with a grain of salt, but if you’re literally tracing over the collage then I’d say yes. But the process of constructing the pose in the collage probably makes it better practice than plain vanilla tracing
