From the article: How Do I Transfer a Drawing from Paper to Canvas?
How do you transfer a drawing from a piece of paper or sketchbook onto a canvas for a painting? What methods have you tried, and what do you think is most successful? Or, if you never transfer drawings, tell us what you do instead. Share Your Method
Drawing as the Basis
- I'm not sure I agree totally that the under-drawing should be "sketchy". Draftsmanship is the foundation of good art. For me, a finely wrought cartoon should be able to stand on its own as an art work.

Sketch Afresh
- I usually sketch the main lines and elements in my drawing onto the canvas afresh. I find I get too anxious trying to copy and worried about doing it wrong and then it becomes a mission and so I put it up where I can see it and then use a pencil to redraw it freehand onto my painting canvas.
