Now that my cartoon is ready,I started figuring out ways how to transfer it to canvas.I had ideas in mind..but had doubts about how effective they were.Gridding seemed the most recommended technique,but as that involved having to draw everything again,I had discarded it from the start.Using carbon paper would smear the canvas and the lines of the transferred drawing would be too large.A head projector?!Then someone on a forum carelessly suggested something that seemed to me just the best deal!

I rubbed the back of the cartoon with blue chalk(any colour would do).

I then tacked the cartoon on the canvas,chalk covered side downward,and went over the drawing with the same pencil I had used to draw it.This is what I got.The lines may not show well on the picture,but they were pretty easy to follow in real).
