I don't have an easel... Or glass table. I'm renting a room and just have the basics. Desk, futon that's a couch/bed, TV Stand and a fold up desk I got at big lots that's only as tall as it needs to be to go over your lap like food tray lol Maybe I'll stand and use my window as the glass table and sun light as the lamp :p I just thought of it as I typed xD lol
If your comfortable working on an easel. You can always use a window during daylight with scotch tape to hold the pages in place.
I did use the glass table top with a lamp under the table before for an 18x24 paper before.
I prefer not to trace myself, but to make a deadline after having to revise sections of a picture. I did a light-box of the pieces to make the "finished" copy of the picture that would be ready for scanning.
Oh I get what your saying :p I normally try not to trace... And I don't have any light source thing big enough to trace off of other then my laptop screen monitor... And all I have is pens so I don't want to scratch it. I may do a semblance of what your saying tho... Using a reference pic and trying to sketch freehand basing it off the reference pic
light-boxing is the term used for placing both sheets over a light source so you can trace the lines from the bottom sheet onto the top sheet. You could try a tracing paper transfer if the paper is to thick for the light box. I personally don't use gimp, i'm sure there are tutorial available for merging two images in gimp.
I don't... But I have gimp. But I use drawing paper and its thick and idk how to do all that techy stuff with actual drawings :p I thought you have to draw it on the paper itself
Do you have a copy of PS? If not you could always draw your background a separate piece of paper then light-box the two pages to draw the BG on the page with the girls.
