Stage one.. Suspenders

I always begin with my own sketch which is on the left. It is to scale already to fit my pastel paper, and I do it freehand while sitting watching TV..

The next step is to transfer my drawing with transfer paper to the velour paper, it can be smudgy, with the pressure one puts on the surface to trace the drawing, but it's not hard to deal with. I noticed right away that my drawing is out to my photo, but went ahead with it anyway, too lazy to adjust.
