Andy Warhol used this technique frequently in his work. It is a basic form of printmaking and allows you to make copies or multiples of the same drawing. Taken from "Draw Paint Print like the Great Artists' Laurence King Publishing

Take 2 pieces of paper. An an absorbent piece (photocopy or cartridge) and a non absorbent piece; tracing paper or shiny paper. On the photocopy paper draw or trace your image.
Join with tape, the two pieces of paper together so that they can open like a book.
Use the fountain pen or stick dipped in ink to draw a small part of your traced line.
Before the ink dries, press down onto the absorbent paper. (like closing your book).
Repeat steps 3-4 until your drawing is complete.
It will be a reversed image of your original tracing.
Once the ink is dry, colour with watercolour or coloured inks.
