Description
I like a neutral grey pastel paper for figures. Bender doesn’t work on grey though. His Foghat grey is too close to my color paper of choice.I get my hands dirty transferring the drawing. I’ll flip over a copy of the drawing (No I don’t use the original. I don’t want to destroy the thing.) rub charcoal all over the back of it, and then trace the drawing. The charcoal leaves a nice outline behind.

I can't even begin to explain how much this tutorial has been helping me lately. This step in particular is something I didn't really consider before, but I've found it useful, and seeing it at this stage is an interesting "bridge" between the drawing and colouring processes.
Is there a special trick to not getting the charcoal all over the negative space, or do you just need a very light touch and/or a really good eraser?

Wow! I'm glad you're getting something out of this set. It's been forever since it was posted, and it's still useful.
As far as transferring the charcoal, neither. The trick is to only rub charcoal where the figure is. If you rub it all over the paper, it'll get everywhere and then you definitely will need that (hint-hint) kneaded eraser.
Thanks, that was a good question.

It may be an oldie, but it's definately a goodie. I should've thought of that. Thanks very much
