The EASIEST Way to Transfer Your Image to Wood for PYROGRAPHY 

I just spent two hours searching on RU-vid 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 :)

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. 👍🏼

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.

We did this as kids in grade school. My brother taught me how to do this for tracing things.

this seems ridiculously simple! i’m definitely gonna have to try this. i’ve been drawing everything from scratch and shortcuts are always welcome!

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

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.

Could be lockdown taking its toll but i proper laughed when you sharpened the pencil

Make sure you're using B pencils, cause H pencils won't really show. A 6b should do a great job.

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

Thanks Dude! 😁

Super helpful in art school! I use tape to hold the paper in place and that helped

Very nice, I learned quite a bit!

Thanks for information.

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

Thank u SO MUCH

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!

Thank you.

thanks bro for not using alot item.all you use is what u have in my house

what to do after that

Are you using regular printer paper?

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

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!

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.

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.

Amazing love that I didn’t have to buy anything else

Helps if you tape down the paper to go over your outline to keep from slippage.

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.

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 👍👍👍👍

I have been using transfer paper, but am not very happy with results, hence I am looking for other methods .

Jack. You look exactly like my nephew, but here in the usa

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

I loved you in Die Antword.

Hello Jack. Thanks for your tutorials. Do you have any connection to South Africa ? ( Visser ) is a well known family name here.

I use graphite paper. Amazon has it

In the states we use carbon/ graphite paper in-between instead of pencil

You are gorgeous!!

I tried this, but I will tape the corners next time. I moved the sketch and the basic lines came out surreal.

I use indigo paper

Nice i will try this thanks for sharing this video

Whats all the dislikes for? I need get into pyro again lol nice work.

Hi guys. Would be cool to know how you guys transfer your images?

Your cool, make me laugh in 1st minute.....30C degrees = 80F

Bro just use carbon paper! Secure the carbon paper to the image with some tape done,that's what I use

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 💖

Two words... 'Graphite Paper'!

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.

Use carbon paper instead Trace one time

anypoint to the music why you are talking ...

Why not use carbon paper…. So much more definitive.

Click bait this is not printing...

But yeah no. Too funny.

This is not at all working
