How do I frame a sketch?

Question

I had my daughter pose for a sketch and it turned out amazing so I want to frame it so it lasts forever. I'm not sure how to do this properly though. I am afraid that if I just put it in a frame the pencil will rub off onto the glass. So do I need to mat it first or is it smarter to take it somewhere and have it done professionally? If so any ideas where I should take it? Also I would like to make copies of it for other family members before I frame it and if you have any ideas of who would do the best job of making it look like the original that would be great!

Answer 1

Yes, the best and nicest approach is to put a window mat over it first and then pick a nice frame to use. If your nervous about damaging it, just bring it to a framing shop and they will do it 4 you. Get either laser copies of it or scan it into a computer first though, so that you have the extra copies you want.
