    A Lifetime Passing

    Aug 05, 2022 4 minutes

    I have decided to just tape the edges of my paper down with masking tape onto an old plywood cupboard door, but a 3 or 4-ply board is fine. I make sure the paper is parallel with the edges of the board as it aids in ruling grid lines accurately. Larger drawings are better stretched with water and gummed tape. If you decide to enlarge the drawing of your photo, allow for a good border with your paper. Now for my photo.
