that's a bit difficult. This word has a concrete meaning.
Personally I have found it about a person who puts an object on paper and delineates it with a pencil.

Z:
[trace] 指透过覆在原件上的透明纸按照看得见的线条或文描摹(如图画,版画,手抄本)
That's very (too?) detailed, and I fancy there is a word in English (maybe "trace"? :-)

LA
1.照著原樣畫或寫。例 「描摹壁畫」、「描摹大師的作品」。
...
"描摹壁畫" is a good example that you find in the wild. I imagine the method is not exactly as described in Z, but does involve some mechanical reproduction

M
依樣摹寫繪畫。亦作「描摩」。
well, I imagine the problem is rejected onto 摹寫
("facsimile" is in several J examples, and "trace over" a calligraphy model)

M@摹寫
1. 依原樣描寫。書法上摹寫的方法有三種。一為描紅,二為映摹,三為雙鉤廓填。亦作「模寫」。
2. 修辭學上指對事物的各種感受,加以形容描寫的修辭法。如朱自清荷塘月色文中的「荷塘四面,長著許多樹,蓊蓊鬱鬱的。」即屬於視覺的摹寫。
I don't know if there is some specific word in English for that second sense. Maybe it's covered by "depict"
