Trevor asks:
What's wrong with tracing paper?
Scott wanted to know the bleaching method.
It has a very different look to a traced image and for some tonally busy images, drawing directly on the print is a lot easier.
there's also more mystique behind the produced sketch - the paper is clearly not as translucent as graph paper so it appears not to have been traced - it looks more like an original artwork and suggests a skilled line drawing was created.
some skill is required though for it to look good. you need a sketch artists skills and
eye to know what to draw in and what to leave out.
