Paul, thank you for accepting my suggestion. The work will be difficult and sometimes my requests difficult to follow but I am sure you will do your best. I will at times push you beyond your best but this will benefit you. So, please be patient with me and we will get through this.
Ok, let us start. First we will think where to place the drawing on the blank canson. So we must adjust the copy and the blank accordingly, side by side. It is good that you have posted all three drawings. The other two drawings are just but a guide in regard to the procedure but all measurements are to be taken from the original (the copy).
After we have envisioned where the drawing will be placed we need to draw a vertical plumb line on the blank paper but before you do that take a red string and figure out where the best place for a plumb line would be and tape it on the copy. You will make all your measurements from the plumb line and transfer them to the drawing. You can do this by eye if you wish but check it with a string held between thumbs. Do not use a tape measure. Use a straight edge just to make the plumb lines.
After the plumb line is drawn we need to establish and mark parallel vertical top and bottom measurements on the blank paper. Then we go towards mapping out all other measurements. Be precise, even a thin pencil width when off is not good enough. Do not use a ruler to measure rather use a peace of string between thumbs.
Always double check your measurements at least from three different points.
Make all lines light and thin with a needle point 2B pencil. The needle point should be long, this saves time and the the point stays sharp longer. Have a number of pencils ready to replace the dull ones.
Please do not go beyond mapping and lightly drawing all the lines. If you draw it in to dark and you need to move it than you will have undesirable marks in your finished drawing.
Wish you good speed. (speed is good but accuracy is better)
