An image-forming method, containing: providing a heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet having at least one heat insulation layer containing hollow polymer particles and at least one receptor layer containing at least one latex polymer, in this order on a support, and a heat-sensitive transfer sheet having a thermal transfer layer containing a thermal transferable dye; feeding the sheets through, between a rotatable platen roller and a thermal head having heating elements aligned in a main scan direction, to move the sheets in a sub scan direction approximately perpendicular to the main scan direction, to form an image on the image-receiving sheet, in which the thermal head has a glaze provided with the heating elements and formed in a convex shape, and the glaze's convex vertex is shifted to an upstream side in the sub scan direction, with respect to the center's position of the heating elements.
