Italian term or phrase: Il disegno preparatorio è riportato da un cartone
The full sentence is this and I'm having trouble finding a translation if anyone can help clarify for me

Il disegno preparatorio è riportato da un cartone attraverso la tecnica dello spolvero e poi ripreso integralmente a pennello con nero a base di carbone che, in corrispondenza degli incarnati, risulta parzialmente visibile anche a occhio nudo.

Thanks in advance
