TUTORIAL PART 1.2: TRANSFERRING

We use A4 manga paper for the line art (though any good quality paper will do), and we transfer the sketch in the old-school way by turning the tracing paper upside-down, placing it on top of the art paper, and rubbing over the lines with a thumb nail or other blunt object. This process is sometimes called "burnishing". It's helpful to use a drawing board for this process, if you have one, because you can fasten the two sheets of paper together so they don't move during the transfer. Check as you go by lifting a corner of the paper to make sure you don't miss any important lines.

The end result will be a very feint copy of the sketch on your art paper, which is ready for tracing the line art.
