    The absolute best way to trace a complex photo on watercolor paper is with a video projector. They used to be pricey but now the tiny portable led-based ones are as cheap as an entry level tablet.
    You can mount them on some sort of stand then mirror your phone's screen or hook it up to a PC and voilà.

    If you have an easel and want to do another tracing you can use a small mini projector and shine it on the easel and paper and sketch it

    I've been using the window trick for years. Just have to make sure there's no condensation on the inside. And a bit of masking tape holds the paper in place.

    If you use masking tape to secure the templeate ( drawing) and the wtrclr paper, you don’t have to hold the works whilst working 😊

    I think tracing is cheating only if you lie and say you drew it from scratch.
    I use a light box to pencil in outlines and facial features when it's a portrait. It's just faster. I can draw well enough to do it without utilizing a light box or tracing paper, but why do I want to spend the time? Tracing isn't going to make your painting more vibrant and accomplished. Drawing and painting are two entirely different skills.

    Another way is to use tracing paper
    Next YOU out line the picture with dark Heavy lead pencil lines
    Turn it over And
    DRAW OVER THE PICTURES LINES on the back side
    PRESS
    HARD, IT WILL TRANSFER THE PICTURE TO YOUR PAPER👍

    I can’t get the link to work. And I went directly to the website. It said put in your email and you will receive it but after putting in my email I didn’t receive it. ☹️ it says something has gone wrong try again. I tried 50 times but same thing it won’t work. It says you are in Ukraine maybe since there is a war there that’s why it’s not working

    Using graphite paper is another way, It wont repel the watercolor and will disappear when water is applied! carbon paper will repel water and leave a line!

    I normally use the second method. The graphite I put on the back of my subject picture is usually 2H or 2B.

    I don’t think that tracing is cheating. It subconsciously teaches a person how to draw. It’s much like when an author is influenced by the works they read and their experiences in life. All things work in tandem to come together in a complete work of art be it writing, drawing, or any creative process
