Review on PACON 96510 500-Sheet Pack of Semi-Transparent Tracing Paper by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For some people, all skills start with tracing

Very useful when you want to practice linework by copying public drawings to train your fingers for complex artwork and taking apart pictures to improve your skills. Skills for own projects. It's also good when you want to copy your freehand work and transfer your drawing to a canvas or wall. If you have read anything about art history, you know that the great masters of the past learned by first copying the works of their more famous contemporaries and then moving on to their own ideas and techniques; many art students do that today - you can see them sitting in silent museums doing that if you look closely. Tracking is one of the methods; You can transfer one of your drawings to the sketchbook over and over again, and then when it's done, color and colorize the same image in different ways.
