MyArtscape Graphite Transfer Paper - 9" x 13" - 25 Sheets - Waxed Carbon Paper for Tracing (Black)

Product Information

I no longer needed to constantly prove my drawing skills with every single artwork that I made, so I felt comfortable transitioning to the use of artist graphite paper. This 25-sheet pack is an economical choice that yields noticeably darker lines than most graphite transfer papers. While carbon paper leaves lines that stay put, graphite transfer paper, which is unwaxed, lays down a line that’s erasable.

Use them for classroom activities and crafts with young ones, and you can create, for instance, illustrations for coloring in, practice tracing before moving onto freehand, or simply demonstrate how transfers work. Tracedown Graphite Tracing down paper, available in A4 or A3 packs of Single or Five sheets, supplied in re-sealable plastic pocket with cardboard liner. But if we all had to wait to learn to draw well before we got in to the fun of painting, we might never start.You can even make your own graphite transfer paper by drawing all over paper with a pencil or progresso. If your transfer paper is new, you may need light pressure to keep the line from being too thick and dark. Well, transfer paper (also known as graphite paper) works in exactly the same way, only using erasable graphite.

Since it’s water-soluble, it will also essentially disappear into wet paint (though watercolor artists should note that some watercolors can set graphite, making the lines permanent). Develop a design in your sketchbook, then move it to the surface of your choice with the help of our premium graphite transfer sheets. It’s a good idea to test/check first to make sure you have the proper side down before copying your entire design. Be aware that graphite paper can leave residue on your hands, so wash them after using to avoid smudging your work. This method works best with drawings on thin ml paper, such as tracing vellum or standard drawing paper.
