How do I copy a drawing onto another paper?
You can copy a drawing onto another paper using various methods, one of which involves transfer paper.
Using Transfer Paper
This method is effective for accurately transferring a sketch or drawing from one paper to another.
Here are the steps:
- Prepare: Obtain your original sketch and a sheet of transfer paper (like graphite or carbon paper). Decide onto which new paper you want to transfer the drawing.
- Layer: Take your sketch and place it on top of the transfer paper.
- Secure: To keep everything from shifting while you trace, tape down the top edges of the sketch paper and transfer paper to the new paper. This acts as a hinge, allowing you to lift the sketch.
- Trace: Using a pencil, pen, or stylus, trace over your sketch. Press firmly enough for the transfer paper underneath to leave a mark on the new paper.
- Check Your Work: Periodically, lift up the paper to double check your tracing. This allows you to see what you have missed and ensure all lines are being transferred before you finish tracing the entire drawing.
By following these steps, the pressure from your tracing will transfer the lines of your original drawing onto the new paper below via the transfer paper.
