✏️Old-school sketching by hand meets new technology Learn how to trace, transfer, and manipulate images with tracing paper using an iPad or phone as a light box. You don't need any special apps - just take a picture.
Beginners use tracing as a jumpstart to drawing - to bypass staring at a blank page. You can start small with a phone screen and work anywhere.
Professionals or experienced artists use tracing to speed up the design process or to have hands-on analog time working up ideas before digital detail work. I use this same process in my own paintings and illustrations and have refined it over a long career of making art for hire.
✏️The materials are basic: pencil, tracing paper and sketch paper, tape and a screen. You can make a small kit in a travel journal or work big in your studio space.
