an interesting day today. i was dreading the idea of transferring the digital sketch to paper because my normal method was to print out the image on computer paper and cover the back with graphite and then trace over the lines while the paper i wanted to transfer too was underneath my printout. it is a long and tedious process and leaves a lot of groves in the paper because of how hard i need to press.

then i remembered "light boards" .....and i face palmed for about an hour.

with my dads help we fixed up my grandads old light board (he was an engineer and a part time cartoonist) and the art desk/stand my dad had made for it (in college he was also a part time cartoonist)

with a light board it was a lot easier to transfer the image to a new paper because the back light lets you see through your paper and you can lightly trace the lines you want

now that this light shade is done the last step will be to go back over with some dark pencils and really push the contrast
