What type of art supplies work best for tracing?

For tracing, you will need tracing paper and a pencil. Often times it is helpful to also have some sort of clipboard, tape, or tacky material to keep the tracing paper in place. If you're looking to do more heavy duty tracing, you can invest in a light board, which will shine light through regular paper, allowing you to see what you're tracing.
