It’s a thing, apparently.

Well for one thing, pencil or pen, then a piece of paper

But then how the hell do they make it so damn similar to the thing they “traced”

(Example: anime base.)

Oh..

Then idk

Thin paper

Or see trough/super thicc ink

Uh, my way of tracing on paper is set my iPad on the brightest, put a piece of paper on it, then trace.
But it gets annoying sometimes like when the paper moves.

Paper on phone.

There are such things as tracing pads lol

what

You can buy things that light up a piece of paper and then you put another on top so you can easily trace it, my sister has one
