Transferring your outline using Tracedown transfer paper
Added 2020-04-24 10:58:44 +0000 UTCVery quick video showing how I quickly use transfer paper to draw an outline quickly onto the paper I want to draw my portrait on.
Tracing an outline in this way isn't cheating, it's a tool, and will help you to understand perspective and proportions.
Nothing beats drawing freehand, but some people struggle or don't have the time, so using tools like this can be really useful :)
My natural way of drawing is freehand and without creating an outline at all, but that doesn't translate well when teaching, so I teach using an outline :) plus it's so much quicker, and because I already work 12 hours a day, I want to spend some time away from my studio ;)
