What artists would do is to use a tracing paper, (sellotaping some sheets together if necessary), trace out their design, then rub powdered chalk firmly onto the back of the tracing paper. (Using a contrasting colour of chalk to the background of your canvas, naturally).
Carbon paper contains a grease that might bleed through or stain whatever paints you finish the canvas with. The powdered chalk won't - it'll simply mix in and disappear.
