Today I've got three super easy ways to transfer your drawing to canvas to paint in oil or acrylic. I've actually shared this in a video once before, but it was at the end of how I create my own painting surfaces and since I always refer to it for this, I figured a tutorial on transferring drawings to canvas needed its own video.

The good news is you can transfer a traced drawing to canvas, or even transfer a photo to canvas without having to create your own drawing first - it's super easy!

My favorite way to transfer my drawings when I’m ready to start painting is by using carbon paper and tracing my original drawing. However, if you don’t (yet) have carbon or graphite paper (which I highly recommend you get), you can use charcoal, a graphite stick, or even just a regular pencil to trace your drawing, or even a photograph, in order to transfer it to canvas.

Supplies:

If you needed to grab some graphite paper or any other supplies, use my special links and it will help support my channel without costing you an extra penny. Thank you!
