A light spray with clear acrylic can fix the chalk when it is finished but to build up several layers can cause chipping and total loss of the design, also, a heavy coat can cause running.
until then, lay a piece of paper the same size over the chalk drawing as a blotter. roll loosely and bind with a rubber band.

I do work with pastel-chalks on walls... I use a fixative I bought from Aaron Brother's Art-Mart, and have also used hair-spray.
Good luck !

Spray fixative. But if you're going to keep working on it, then try the workable version and not the permanent kind.
Or you could just hold it a portfolio or tube to keep it from rubbing up against anything.

I use hairspray too, make sure you hold the can a decent distance away when spraying (I found this out the hard way!).

try hairspay. just make sure you spray far away and very lightly. It works for me and its cheap.
