buy a general (name brand) 6B charcol pencil and a pad of tracing
paper. pick out your design, trace the basics, like the outline or
even the whole thing. flip the tracing over and place charcol side
down onto clean prepared skin. while holding in place lightly rub.
lift tracing up carfully so as to not disturb your transfer. cover
lines with henna. tada, a easy disposable transfer. generally they
can be used only 1 to two times. if you use oil to prepare the skin
you need to wipe off the excess so the transfer will take, that goes
for any excess liquid. this is what i used for the harder designs
until i finally got good enough to mostly not use them. sometimes i
still use them if i am really tired, like a really long faire or
festival or if i know that the client is a very hard to please type
that doesn't give for artistic licence. Or sometimes it helps with a
new design that you are not use too.and generally i do not waste my
time tracing any detail, just the basic and then wing the rest. this
also helps train your eye to hand, it is practicing till you can do
it with out. good luck, jennifer
