The Art of Tracing.
Normally I trace using carbon paper and get really good results, however I recently thought of securing an inkjet image on top of my small graphic tablet with masking tape to see if I could trace that way.
My first ever attempt at doing this is below. I wouldn’t say it’s easy to do, but it is possible. The main problem I encountered was when I needed to move the paper a bit to start tracing a new section. I found I had to move the image around on the screen until it corresponded with the position of the pen hovering over the graphic tablet. With practice it is a viable option for tracing, but I think it works best for images of people or animals rather than objects like cars or motorcycles. I haven’t tried to trace a landscape yet, but I can’t see a problem and it might be possible to produce a convincing charcoal type drawing.
