Matthew,

You can also make a transfer by using a sheet of clear acetate, a Sharpie pen, and some transfer paper (which is similar to what we know as carbon paper and which comes in a variety of colors). All these are available at your art store.

Place the acetate over your drawing (secure it some way, with tacks or tape, so that it can't move), and with Sharpie, accurately trace the outlines of the subjects or objects. At this point you can place the tracing onto the canvas and adjust it for composition (that is, maybe you crowded the left edge a little in the drawing
