I did NOT like mine. I much prefer to be able to extend arm, use my pencil to measure, and learn proportions. Tracing is like a calculator--you don't have to do the work and think about proportions...'oh, this person's head is one pencil erasers length compared to the eight of the body'. That's how you learn to draw.

I returned it ASAP. It goes against my artistic principles of NOT tracing, and it also just doesn't really do much that I can't do.

Not true art

Yes mr walshy remember you from yr 8 😂

No matter HOW you call it: "help", "tool", or "tracing", still an ARTIST must work hard at defining the DETAILS (shadows, colors, background, your own personal painting style, etc...) to achieve a good WORK OF ART. Even the Creator of the Universe uses a PATTERN or TEMPLATE to create! HE uses: "The Flower of Life", Mathematics, and Geometry... at least. . "The Flower of Life" is THE TEMPLATE of all creation! . TEMPLATE definition: A pattern / gauge / format / overlay / starting point / used as A GUIDE in making something ACCURATELY. ' Amazing wisdom! Amazing CREATOR! All honor to HIM, YAHUWAH Almighty our Heavenly Father, in the Name of His Son, Messiah YAHUSHUA of Nazareth. (Genesis 1:1), (John 1:3). . November 5, 2024 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Thank You for this video man,you help me in doing may Art portfolio

HIGHLY GIFTED ARTIST .. ME... NOT WORTH IT.. I WAS hoping it would speed me up.. it is TORTURE TORTURE TO TRY AND DRAW OFF MY COMPUTER. SET up.. distance.. all that.. MIGHTMARE!

thanks

Your video pretty much SUCKED.

Save your money and buy a light box, far far cheaper and easier to use than this monstrosity

You mentioned you can’t use it with glasses? So…I can’t see without my glasses. Guess I’ll return this…. Thing

I should have read the comments before ordering. This instrument is completely unusable. So sorry I spent my money on this.

Love it! Please do others. Thank you.

I wish I could see the top of this video

I have owned the Lucy for 4 years and have watched and tried to use it off and on and I still cant seem to see any value in the tool at all. I am about ready to chuck it completely. then I tell myself I will try one more time and maybe It will be usable.

Creative

Thanks

Do they bleed through?

Lovely 💜👩🏻👋

I hate it! do NOT waste your money!!!!

What kind of pen are you using?

My wife got one for her watercolor painting, and then we struggled together to get it set up with the still life properly posed. I took some photos of the still life, processed them in Irfanview to crop, convert to grayscale, detect edges, and invert to make a black-on-white sketch- printed that and she immediately had more progress in five minutes than an hour of faffing about with the Lucida. I bought a vintage opaque projector off eBay for under $30 which will let her project the printed edge image up any size including a full sheet of art paper, which the Lucida *cannot* do. The old masters used the best optics they could get, no reason for modern artists to do any less.

Hi, thank you for demonstrating the lightbox. Please advise where you bought your really hand laptop stand, and maker details. If it can hold the lightbox it can hold a drawing board, which being so very portable seems ideal. Thanks and Regards JB

This tool does not work like the videos say it does. A person can hardly see their hand to draw, the lenses are blurry, and it is a waste of time. No one can do a painting of someone just posing. This tool is a joke!

Nice & Thanks :)

Thank you for an informative video.

This has to be much easier than when I started drawing... putting an object or photo on a surface, slowly sketching it. It is hard to learn. I'd like to try these.

"draw-ring" ...

Not a good video. 😢

Very sad to see that they don’t ship to Canada.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT US TO DO IT IF YOU CANT EVEN DO IT [YOU ARE TRACING IT, AND YOU CHANEL IS CALLED IMPROVE DRAWING

I bought the Neolucida, same idea and just as rubbish. Waste of money - dont bother!

So you have to stand up to draw with it?

I like this. Thank you for sharing. Do you use a Faxative Spary to protect it from smearing after the work is complete?

I like this.. I like it a lot. Thank you for posting this. Do I need to use a fixative after it's complete?

Bla bla bla for draw one yuyo😂

I have one but havent been able to use it yet. I am also experimenting with Davinci Eye, but I need a lot of practice.

I think this is a good video to show just how complicated using the 'LucyHelp' is. It's not a quick fix to learning to draw and as the artist hear says, it's awkward to set up correctly and involves a lot of 'fussing around'. Ideally you need a modified or self-made easel suitable to your height and with some form of adjustable but firm platform to attach your paper or canvas. And yes, I do take umbrage at the maker's video that claims it as a way to 'master' drawing. Watch the video of the actor getting frustrated with traditional drawing practice, that will be you 20 minutes spent faffing around with this device. Happy drawing.

Yo lo co.pré, y nó lo he estrenafo..pues nó me apaño con ello😊

Very cool video @jenniferrnewmanart :-).

Can't this been done using the old- fashioned overhead school projectors?

on a easel would work? thanks

Hi There, i am a teacher in South yorkshire and have based a LKS2 unit of work on your portraiture/ scribble work. It would be great if we could link up and if you have any pictures of your artwork i can show the children that would be brilliant!

The thumping music has to go.

You look uncomfortable! Is it worth it

Does a projector work better?

"Lucida" not "lucidia".

This stand isn’t available anymore…not on Amazon

Frankly I think that this DaVinci tool is a joke
