Thank you, this was very helpful. I only had carbon paper and even sanding it it was dark, I have ordered graphite paper, hope it arrives soon, can’t wait to try it
Hi, i follow you on facebook as well as here on RU-vid. Im really inspired by your work. Anyways, i struggle with transfering things, as a artist, i see a lot of artists using this method of doing portraits or realism, and id like to try that but then i feel like a imposter as a artist because i didn't just look at a picture, and draw it directly onto the wood or canvas.
Wow watching this has inspired me to do my first pyrography portrait. I assumed graphite paper you could have just rubbed off with a standard rubber. That must not be the case by the looks
That's fantastic! I hope you enjoy your pyrography portrait project. I haven't had much luck removing graphite paper marks with a normal eraser... it smudges instead. But a fine-grit sandpaper works great!
Thank you! Here's the video for the portrait woodburning: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w1YaqyyZFaM.html If you have any questions, just let me know. Thanks again and have a wonderful day! :)
I love watching you work, Minisa. Got a question for all 'Pyromaniacs' (of which I am one): Does anyone burn indoors with no external venting? If so, what do you do to keep your house from smelling like a campfire? Of course, there are those who want just that, but not me. I am thinking about getting a Winix 5500-2. It seems to have good reviews. Thoughts and suggestions?
I have only done one, but ye I done it indoors though if you could have some ventilation from the fumes would be nice as cant be healthy lol. Keep burning dude.
I'm super late with my reply but you may want to check out the treeline website. They offer a mini smoke extractor that helps with that issue. I personally like to burn outdoors like my backyard but I also burn inside my garage. When I do so, I open the garage door and also have a mini fan right next to the area where I'm burning. But have the fan blow away from you, that way it extracts the smoke from your face. Hope this helps!
hello I want you to help me buy a pyrography buy one and it does not burn much I use hard wood like pine and it does not burn much which one do you suggest please
Dövmecilerin cilt için kullandığı karbon kağıdına benziyor ,onlar çok koyu renk olmuyor ,oğlum dövmeci kullandığı için biliyorum, ahşapda denemiştim ama aktarım sağlayamadım ben.

Im using the classic transfer method that many painters/illustrators use. Just take a 4B pencil and smudge the back side of the paper you printed your reference. Take care to cover all the areas. Then take a mechanical clutch pencil with a very hard lead, like 4H. Keep your point sharpen. In this way you will have a transfer that wont be proned to smudging and you will achieve very thin lines in details like eyes or little highlights that could be made dificult to make out if you used the broader point of a ballpoint pen to press the design down.
Serious question... how is graphite any better for reducing chemical transfer to the wood? I’m really curious why you say not to use carbon paper, but graphite paper... Does it really make a notable difference or is that just a personal preference??
Could be wrong but I think it makes lines less darker and more easier to rub out making traceing lines less noticeable. Can still be done with other paper though.
@@simonaborosova2123 It's actually very simple, the only catch is you have to print the picture on a laser printer not an inkjet printer. From there just apply heat to the side of the paper that wasn't printed, there are tips for woodburning pens that have screw on tips you can use.
