Ultimately it depends. There's nothing inherently wrong with it but tracing an artistic picture someone took is also infringing you start leaning into what's wrong with tracing someone elses drawing of a building. The answer is you didn't draw it.
The main thing though is that it's incredibly lazy and he did go back and redraw it after being called out just to show he could do it.
It's part of why he sinks into mediocrity, he's lazy and takes shortcuts.
