What is Tracing Paper used for? Tracing paper is used to create a precise copy of a design. Commonly used by artists and other trades, it also is tremendously useful for hand lettering designs. How can Tracing Paper be applied to Brush Lettering? You can use tracing paper for your hand lettered designs by utilizing the low opacity paper. You can do this by first sketching out your designs separately, then going in with tracing paper then layer your designs together in your ideal positions. Once you have your design completed, you will want to turn the tracing paper over and trace the mirrored image. In this stage, you will no longer see “letters” you will now only see the composition of the design. This is the perfect time to reflect on the size of letters and the overall design as a whole . If you decide an element should be adjusted, fix it at this time. Where can I buy Tracing Paper? ***These are affiliate links Darice 9-Inch-by-12-Inch Tracing Paper, 100-Sheets
