Transferring Work

Transferring work is not an easy task, it is tedious and requires a lot of patients and consists of many steps. The first thing to do is to create a rough sketch. It must contain dark, bold lines and shapes that will be easy to trace. once the rough sketch is complete, tracing paper will be needed. The idea to tracing paper is to keep it in the exact spot during the entire tracing process, tape might be useful at this time. Once tracing is complete of the rough sketch a separate white sheet of paper will be needed. Next, place the tracing paper with the pencil tracings down on the white paper and retrace on bottom side. After this is done, place tracing paper over your final work surface such as a canvas and keep in place while retracing on original side. The purpose to this process is to provide an outline free from eraser marks and mistakes. This insures quality work and the light pencil outline that has been created will be easily covered by the lightest of paints.
