Any Good Tracing Methods?
13 years ago
Ok. Here's the situation.
For tracing, I normally use my lightbox. It's mah bread and butter. ^^
The thing is, it's not so good or tracing colored drawings I might want to do over, because it makes the drawing look mostly like a silhouette and it's hard to see the outer edge of whatever shape I'm tryin to trace.
Regular tracing paper would do a similar effect.
I'm looking for something more transparent.
Once in a while I've used plastic bags. I trace the shape with a sharpie onto the bag, then trace *that* onto drawing paper. But I keep thinking there's a better way.
Any artists out there know a good medium to trace onto that's also totally transparent? Sheets of plastic, maybe? I'm at a loss. :'
