It seems the way you have described will give you a reverse design. This
may or may not be important.
Another way is to turn drawing upside down and rub heavy chalk over the
design lines from the back.
Turn over and tape down on the clean layout table. Then go over all your
design with a pencil or ballpoint.
Remove the paper. Trace over the faint chalk design lines with silver
pencil. Fill in any gaps in the design.
