Portrait painting tutorial Part 1: Using a Pantograph and the Prick and Pounce method

Part one in a series of tutorials on how I paint a head study in tempera and oil paint. In this video we see how I make a drawing from a reference image using a Pantograph and how I then transfer that drawing onto a canvas using the Prick and Pounce method.
Materials:
Rumold P4 Pantograph

I really enjoyed this tutorial. I have been looking for a video for ages to explain how to use the pantograph properly. Thank you. ❤

Absolutely brilliant. This was an excellent tutorial. I’ve just been given a pantograph and this was very helpful, as was the pricking and pouncing. Thanks

Hi Phillip I'm a very amateurish painter and I always sketch on my canvas 🙈 Is it possible to also use the pantograph directly on canvas ?

[@pcamorgan]

Hello, yes it's possible so long as the surface of the canvas and the picture you are copying from are on the same level, that is, one can't be higher or lower than the other.

Are you using left or right hand?

[@pcamorgan]

Left.

Pantograph is actually inaccurate for me because I have been struggling right now how to adjust it.. I just got stressed..

[@wadebenitez4077]

Where did you buy the pantograph

[@pcamorgan]

I got it from Boesner a German art store as I live in Germany but you can get it on Amazon, just search Pantograph. www.boesner.com/werkzeuge/schneidgeraete/unterlagen-lineale/pantograph-storchenschnabel

You're doing it wrong! You are supposed to follow the original drawing with the tracer and NOT holding the pencil, which also means that you are using the pantograph upside down.
