A very easy and effective way to copy any picture already drawn, or even a photograph, in line, is to use tracing paper.
This kind of paper, which you can buy of any dealer in drawing materials, is quite transparent and very tough. To make a tracing lay the drawing you want to copy on your drawing board, then lay the tracing paper on top of it, rough side up, and push a thumb tack into each corner to hold them together.
Now trace the outline of the picture with a pencil and then draw in the lines with India ink.
