I just spent two hours searching on TH-cam for a video that would teach me how to do this and they were all ridiculously difficult ranging from making my own projector to using a polyacrylic and that kind of thing. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, easy..straight to the point and you are still essentially drawing the image yourself not printing it on. Thank you for this, as an artist this has just changed the game for my next piece :)
Thank you. The simplest ideas can be the best ones. I love this method as most people have the materials for it laying around the house. And if you put down just a basic outline it still allows you to have creative freedom
@Emperor Donald J Trump Pencils have a hardness rating. Artists who sketch use a range of pencil hardiness. B# is on the soft side of the range and H# is on the hard side. Hard gives you lighter, tighter lines, and soft is darker and more of a fuzzy line.
This is what I've done.... but pro tip... find graphite sticks. They're like charcoal sticks for artists but just graphite. SOOOO much easier (and if you don't want to get it on your hand, wrap some paper around it and hold it with tape. Also use tape to hold the paper on the wood so it doesn't move. 👍🏼
Great work, question, if I get a picture of a bowl of fruit and place it on a piece of plywood, how can I preserve the picture so I can place it outside on a wall. Thanks.
Hi , trying using a graphite pencil instead of a normal pencil😊this way the transfer will be easily visible plus you can erase it easily after the burn. I have been doing it for a while now. Thank you
I thought all pencils were graphite except for color of course. Harder pencils have less graphite and soft pencils have more graphite, all with clay as a strengthener.
I have been tracing the images on a piece of paper that I taped to my computer, then I tape it to the piece of wood and trace it with a pencil and I use alot of pressure so when I take the paper off I can see the engraving
Tried this method and my God it works,tried all the other methods too gel medium and acetone but this works well if not better than the rest .I use a 6b graphite stick and voila. Thanks again jack
I do mine by just placing carbon copy paper underneath mine and just draw the picture and it transfers over to the wood. I guess it's kinda like this but I get way more detail. It just works better for me my way!
I do the same but the one downside is you need to use sandpaper to remove if you want as it won't erase. I'm just starting but may try graphite sticks so I can erase. I may have 100 carbon sheets available if you need any. 🙂
Hey there! I have been doing Graphite pencil portraits for years. This Christmas my husband got me a woodburning kit to try. Started watching videos of tips and tricks and your videos are great! You are amazingly talented.
Very easy and helpful tutorial. Thank you! I was just wondering, does the image have to be laser printed because I kind of want to transfer my own drawings onto the wood.
I'd seen this technique mentioned in a other video, but thankyou for explaining it so clearly. My only criticism is the music/production value, when low, it's as loud as your voice, and when high, I was lowering the volume until you spoke again, Maybe a clearer mic or some volume levelling would really help improve the overall presentation.
Hi Jack. Just starting to dabble with this medium. Got myself a rotary tool & a cheap wood burner (solder iron type) just to see how I like it. Been doing lots of YT video watching to get a bit of learning in before I start. I’m Glasgow based so good to find a fellow Scot. Loving your videos. Subscribed. Keep it UP!
lol i cant believe i never thought of this, as a kid we used to do tree rubbings and stuff why does my brain not put these things together lol, awesome vidoe thanks 👍👍👍👍
36° that is cold why don’t you try living here in Texas it has been over 100° it only cool down in the winter time that is when it will drop down to 20° sometimes even even colder it has been -2° here before 36° it is not hot when it is over 100° that is hot
I was trying to focus on what you were saying at the beginning of the video, but your eyes had me distracted 🙈🤭😊 i say this in the most respectful way 💖
Yeah carbon paper can be used. But it's more a tutorial for beginners who can use things they might have laying around the house. I might actually give carbon paper a try tho.
I've heard it's messy and not everyone has graphite paper at hand. This is a tutorial for people looking to use things they might have around the house.
@@jennifergunn7990 that's good to know. Maybe depends on the quality you get. I don't know if it comes in different qualities lol but it might be a factor

Wow you've just brought back a ton of primary school memories. I've done this hundreds of times as a child, thanks for the reminder.
Make sure you're using B pencils, cause H pencils won't really show. A 6b should do a great job.

Omg total game changer! Definitely gonna use those from now on. The way my hand gets tired using a pencil 😅
yeah it took me a few years to find them myself LoL

this seems ridiculously simple! i’m definitely gonna have to try this. i’ve been drawing everything from scratch and shortcuts are always welcome!
Definitely. I used to do free hand too but needed something quicker.
Could be lockdown taking its toll but i proper laughed when you sharpened the pencil
😂 must be the lockdown

I will tape my image onto graphite tracing paper onto the wood. Another little trick to simplify the process!

Doesn’t that burn the paper ?
what to do after that

My pleasure 😊
I always have to tape it in place so it wont move can also lift to check with out picture moving from spot

Thank you. I guess you could do it with your own drawings yeah but it might ruin them. You could try scanning your drawings then printing it
Thanks for this! Big help cause I was wondering the same thing
Helps if you tape down the paper to go over your outline to keep from slippage.
thanks bro for not using alot item.all you use is what u have in my house
no problem at all. Thats exactly what I was trying to do with this video :)

That's awesome. The rotary tool can help a lot with the process. Keep at it.
Are you using regular printer paper?
In the states we use carbon/ graphite paper in-between instead of pencil
Yeah I've been told. I made this video before I was aware of graphite paper. I still havent tried it 😂 but only because I cant find it in the shops
I have been using transfer paper, but am not very happy with results, hence I am looking for other methods .
lol i cant believe i never thought of this, as a kid we used to do tree rubbings and stuff why does my brain not put these things together lol, awesome vidoe thanks 👍👍👍👍
😅 honestly. I never even thought of it until a friend reminded me that we used to do it in primary school like this
We did this as kids in grade school. My brother taught me how to do this for tracing things.
Hello Jack. Thanks for your tutorials. Do you have any connection to South Africa ? ( Visser ) is a well known family name here.
Hey. Yeah I do. My dads side of the family is South African 😊
@@jackvisserphotography awesome iam east African and I've south African friends. Thanks for the video, likewise.
I tried this, but I will tape the corners next time. I moved the sketch and the basic lines came out surreal.
Super helpful in art school! I use tape to hold the paper in place and that helped

STEP # 2- T A P E I T D O W N
Very nice, I learned quite a bit!
Bro just use carbon paper! Secure the carbon paper to the image with some tape done,that's what I use
Jack. You look exactly like my nephew, but here in the usa
Thanks for information.
Amazing love that I didn’t have to buy anything else
Thank you. Exactly the point of the video. A lot of people didnt seem to realise this. Lol
Whats all the dislikes for? I need get into pyro again lol nice work.
Haha I dunno. I guess people are looking for something a bit more technical. I'm literally just trying to give the easiest way I've found
Thanks Dude! 😁
Hi guys. Would be cool to know how you guys transfer your images?
jack visser I've been using transfer/carbon paper to trace my images. I just tape all the papers in place first, then trace it. :)
Steph Wade 😲 that seems like it would work quite well.
it work well but you also have to remember with the carbon paper it sometimes leaves black stains that are kind of hard to get out
gbapier1 😊 guess I'll stick to using pencil
I am still looking for a better way
I loved you in Die Antword.
It was a great time in my life 😅
Thank you.
36° that is cold why don’t you try living here in Texas it has been over 100° it only cool down in the winter time that is when it will drop down to 20° sometimes even even colder it has been -2° here before 36° it is not hot when it is over 100° that is hot
I'm talking in Celsius. You're talking in Fahrenheit. 36 Celsius is 96.8 Fahrenheit
I use graphite paper. Amazon has it
Thank u SO MUCH

Nice i will try this thanks for sharing this video
You are gorgeous!!
I just use "transfer paper" or carbon paper. Seems like using lead pencil takes way to much time. But you are the expert not me.
Yeah carbon paper can be used. But it's more a tutorial for beginners who can use things they might have laying around the house. I might actually give carbon paper a try tho.
@@jackvisserphotography Works good but you can't erase it so need to use sandpaper to remove if necessary. Thanks for your videos.
I use indigo paper
anypoint to the music why you are talking ...
Your cool, make me laugh in 1st minute.....30C degrees = 80F
Two words... 'Graphite Paper'!
I've heard it's messy and not everyone has graphite paper at hand. This is a tutorial for people looking to use things they might have around the house.
Use carbon paper instead Trace one time
I've heard it's a nightmare to work with tho and you end up with marks all over your piece 😔
@Jack Visser Pyro I haven’t had any issues yet. I tape it down good so it doesn’t move around. However , I could see it happening.
@@jennifergunn7990 that's good to know. Maybe depends on the quality you get. I don't know if it comes in different qualities lol but it might be a factor
Why not use carbon paper…. So much more definitive.
It's more a tutorial for beginners and things they could use that they may have laying about the house. But yes carbon paper works brilliantly
Click bait this is not printing...
Where did I say printing? Not click bait
But yeah no. Too funny.
This is not at all working
You must be doing it wrong. Works for me every time
