Before I begin this, I do not take any credit for this idea!!!! I found it on Tumblr and I thought it would be great to share it. I have tried and tested it out with another drawing to see if it works, and it does! It's really good for transferring messy sketches onto a nice piece of sketch, watercolor, Bristol, etc. paper.
To begin, you want to sketch your drawing onto a cheap, thin piece of paper (graph or lined paper would be best.) I personally used really cheap lined paper for this. So after you sketched it on it should look something like this. (Sorry for how messy it is.)
So next, you want to turn your paper over and using a 6B lead or harder, scribble the back of the drawing so it's all covered. It doesn't have to be perfect, just enough to cover the back of the drawing.
Okay, now take your good piece of paper, put it behind the drawing and start tracing over it with a pen or pencil, preferably something harder and sharp. Once you are done, it should have completely transferred onto your other sheet of paper.
Using this method makes it so much easier to fix and make corrections in your drawings without worrying about a messy paper afterwards! To show that it works for other, more complex drawings I'll show you the first attempt at me using this method.
That is all for this blog! I hope some artists out there found it helpful in anyway possible. Thank you!
