Easy tracing

If you need to redraw a sketch or other drawing, use either a lightbox or just a window on a sunny day. Tape your original to the window/ lightbox, then tape the paper you are tracing onto over it in the position you want.

Using the light box is, to me, the easiest because it sits horizontally like a table and, therefore, is easy to draw on. A window, however, is vertical and difficult to get the right angle on, but if you work at it, you can do it!
