Oh, my gosh, help! I’ve just spend the last 6 hours refining this sketch in photoshop, then I got the crazy idea in my head that I’d like to complete it TRADITIONALLY, inking it with microns and coloring with prismacolor markers. Because I’ve decided to go completely mad, and thought it would be fun to torture myself.
So I’ve printed it out and I would like to transfer it to a 9X12 inch sheet of smooth Bristol. What I have been doing is putting a piece of carbon paper underneath the printout and laboriously tracing over ever single line to transfer it. There has to be a better way! A way that does not require me to absolutely murder my poor hand!
My printer cannot handle paper this large or anything thicker than crappy printer paper. It sucks!
What should I do????

Err, sneak it into an office and use a HUGE scanner 8D

Use your monitor, a tv, a glass table, anything with a strong light so you can trace like a light box is what I usually do. Its odd but works. You don't have to press down so hard to transfer lines like with carbon so you get no grooves where the marker will pool.

use graphite paper and then outline and erase the graphite that's what I would do and if you don't wanna buy graphite scribble on a piece of paper with a pencil all over it or you could tape it too a window and trace it
