To transfer newsprint onto an illustration that you've done, put newsprint over your illustration (the side down you want to transfer) then soak a paper towel in Acetone and wipe the back of the newsprint gently.
It's a really nice technique that'll allow you to do the same with printouts and photocopies too.
Used to do this technique a lot to get "Tomato" style stuff years ago when I was at art college.
