Ever wish you could pick up a pencil and draw a life-like image in under five minutes? Well, you could practice, practice, practice… or you could carbon-copy it. Carbon paper is the original copy-machine. Not only is it quick and easy, but yields amazing results.

Simply place a piece of carbon paper between a clean sheet and the picture you want to copy. We used pictures from magazines in the recycling bin.

Use a pencil to outline the main shape of the image. You can also use this as a teaching technique to help identify line(s) in an image.

Remove the top two sheets to see the result. Beautiful! Paint or color your picture, or leave as is. Up to you!
