Beautiful work! I simply use Carbon/Transfer paper so that the image is not reversed. It's not easy to find nowadays. It was used to make a "Carbon Copy" of a Typewriter document as you typed it! I learned this thanks to my dear grandmother. Plus, you can reuse it multiple times.
I have a whole box of carbon paper from way back. Lately though, I have been gluing old drawings face down to the canvas with gel medium and then rewetting after dry and rubbing off the paper and have a reversed exact drawing like my own hand made coloring book, lol. Fun.
Whenzou paper is cheap and super versatile, it's semi transparent, super thin ( 30gr) but strong and doesn't bleed. Comes in very large sheets or rolls. Many way to use it. Can print on it. Can directly be glued on the support with acrylic/pva and then painted.
If you're using a grid to transfer your drawing, It's okay to break some of the squares down into even smaller grid squares where there is a hard part that you really want to pay attention to getting accurate detail. Watercolor pencils also work well for drawing on canvas because they don't smudge or lift into your paint layers like graphite or charcoal can. The lines can also be softened or blended with a damp brush without harming the canvas.
I personally use freehand because I cannot afford a projector. So for me, I end up drawing the photo collage I made from 5 to 10 times. Depends on how many iterations I need.
Supposing I've pencilled something on to a canvas, and it's bleeding into the paint and/or medium... Is there any way of avoiding this? Could I spray the pencil with fixative?
9:17 on this type of style, althought i prefer already make a sketch with the pencil then use an underpainting for the someone that just started to try oil paint, but there is something about using a freehand brush to do it is something i felt more right with it and it feel more natural than the one that you pre-draw with pecil and then make a sienne underpaint and start painting. i dont know how to explain it
ANY. it depends on the color. My personal favourite is watersoluble graphite.... But because my underpainting is water based and then I go with oil of top.

Fixative is fine.
✅️💯✅️
yes. Dry medium fixative.
Use a watercolor pencil and the oil medium won't interact with it. You'll never have your paint color muddied or changed.
A variation of pouncing is still used for embroidery today.

What kind of colored pencil will work under oil paint?
ANY. it depends on the color. My personal favourite is watersoluble graphite.... But because my underpainting is water based and then I go with oil of top.
