Most people don't seem to understand that devices like this and the various ones that actually let you trace a figure or model aren't "cheating". You still need actual talent or skill to reproduce a thing in a pencil drawing or a painting. What they do is speed up the process a bit... taking some of the initial measurements and the "fussy bits" out of the process. You'll still need to know about shading, coloring, etc. There's just no shortcuts around learning those things.

[@tomkennish3630]

Hi Florent I love your channel. Your review is thorough but thought I’d give My honest review as well, if anyone is looking for another opinion. So if it helps anyone, then cool: I just got one as a gift for Christmas and I really like it. I started drawing and then oil painting only less than a year ago when I turned ripe young age of 40 😵😬 lol. The drawscope is certainly helpful for students or someone in my case as Florent stated, as I struggle and am trying hard to get better at drawing. I feel like the drawing and pre-painting drawing and sketching etc is number one aspect of getting into art that is the most difficult, most work and patience to do WELL, and super important to the success of any of the subsequent aspects like blocking in, correcting etc. I honestly can say that not only has this drawscope tool helped me lay the ground work for painting with correct proportions, but it has in a strong way quickly trained me to see some of the tendencies of mistakes that I did not realize I was even making as often as I was. It’s quite similar to having a teacher looking over your shoulder letting you know “hey you keep flattening the nose... you drew the left eye too small and slightly lower... the value on his forehead is not the same as the nose like you just did... “ etc. I think this will help me not only learn faster but it absolutely removes SO much of the frustration and confusion a beginner like me feels when they know they made mistakes but can’t figure out what exactly they are; let alone how to fix them. Something like the drawscope I will even say can help keep people from quitting and giving up from frustration and that in itself to me is worth more than the cost. But I digress... It takes a little practice to get use to and become more useful as you get more use to using it. I don’t know if you experienced it but until I did get use to it I would get a sharp head ache from my eyes nonstop trying to focus and work out what I was doing. It’s made well, solid materials and I do think it’s worth the money as I would have bought one if I wasn’t given one. It’s def worth more than $25 like someone else had said. Nothing cost $25 that’s worth anything. Maybe in 1982 but it’s 2019 things cost money and if you want good things you have to spend it. There is plenty of garbage out there that cost $25 and also junk that cost much more. Point is I would say I don’t mind to spend more money for nicer things and this Drawscope is in the realm of nice things and not left me feeling ripped off at all. You can tell the people who make it care about it. That’s more important to me than saving some money and owning crap to show for it. 🤷🏼‍♂️ my 2 cents, go for it 👍🏼👍🏼

[@scotthughes7440]

Nice points made. Not tracing, but rather allows you to check your own accuracy and make adjustments.

[@1976kinan]

'Tim's Vermeer' explore and claim that Vermeer did his paintings with an optical device that is why his painting are so real (lighting fading, etc)...that movie (Tim's Vermeer) is a good documentary to watch! Thank you for the review...i personally think it is like using a calculator for math..yes its using technology and science..so it is more like you need to know what you're doing in order to draw/paint using the drawscope!!!

[@NameIsDoc]

@@madArt1981 I used the wrong term. The man here is using alla prima which is painting on the canvas and blending/using colors there. Vermeer would have used the fair more cost effective and popular technique of its time which is Glazing in which you do one layer usually in burnt umber that details the lights and shadows then slowly add transparent layers of color on top. This was the popular way to paint at the time due to the scarcity of the pigments for blue and purple. I am merely pointing out that he is using an entirely different technique from vermeer

[@jeffhreid]

Good review. Excellent point about checking color and values. I also like the point about emulating some aspect of the instructor feedback.

[@sigvardbjorkman]

I sometimes use a projector when transferring one of my normal-sized sketches on to a bigger surface. I do this not because I can't go by free hand myself, even though I must admit it's somewhat of a struggle for me, but because it saves a ton of time.

[@cool70200]

The old art world debates about cheating, fairness and skill. I remember heated arguments among my art class peers about using tracing paper, transfer paper, gridlines or projectors compared to freehand.

[@madArt1981]

The young are often arrogant. Ignorance is daring and very vocal. When I was young this wasn’t considered nothing more than a time saving tool. Times change

[@Enthcreations]

Starting the discovery of mirrors and the development of modern optics in the 15th century all the artists started to use both the camera obscura and lucida. Modern realism is dued to these devices. Caravaggio used it. Probably Leonardo too. We had traced art starting from the end of middle age up to the modern Avanguardie, when artists moved back to expressionism.

[@TheAwesomes2104]

I also think using these devices helps tremendously in learning to create realism on your own. When I was younger, I struggled to draw horses from memory at all. So I "cheated" and traced them until it finally clicked and drawing the from memory became much easier. It allows you the opportunity to translate what your brain process is through your eyes to what your brain and body sees and draws on the paper.

[@lopezjosealejandro]

I wouldn't call it "cheating" because what it really matters is the final product which is not easy to achieve.

[@phillipstroll7385]

It's cheating. If it isn't then all people whom trace images wouldn't hide that they trace. They'd be 100% completely honest with their customers. Unless you are willing to tell people you are using projectors, light boxes, lucidas etc then don't pretend you aren't cheating

[@ivonesyoRamos]

Hello Florent! I came your channel because saw an advertise of draw scope. I have an camera lucida, for many years without use. I appreciate way you saw the use for draw scope! Anyway this has transparency projection that is characteristic of camera lucida? On products site looks like has, even they don't talk about camera lucida itself. Thanks for you review, best wishes!!!

how much it is?

[@jamespardee6103]

All in how it's used, just like all other art equipment. I'd try it. Certainly it's just another tool that could come in handy in some situations.

[@Yatukih_001]

It is practically impossible to cheat using a device in modern painting because all drawing and painting is projection. You are projecting your idea onto a surface and so you depict it by drawing it, painting it and so on. So I would say no - using devices like digital cameras and so on to draw and paint after what you capture on them is not cheating in any form to my awareness. I might as well want to try this. Currently I use a tiny light board and a large flat screen TV. The flat screen TV is used most of the time now.I am interested in this device and in the device known as Lucy. Thanks for this!

[@mattmoves5920]

Caravaggio and Canaletto, two of the biggest italian painters, used some tools to trace the figures on the canvas. What made the difference was the talent they had when using the colours, so alive and unique. So I would not call it cheating, just a faster way to draw.

[@pat4005]

I think that if they made use of tools such as this, that if anything, they were using them to help layout very large canvases, but not necessarily for specifically tracing the outlines of people or objects in their paintings, because at their skill-level, they would not need those tools for that purpose. Also, I do understand in what you meant by their great talent of using color, and to some extent that’s true, but unfortunately people always seem to write-off the gigantic amount of hours truly great artists such as Caravaggio and Canaletto spent studying form, shape, life, gesture, architecture, light, and color and value! Yes, you have to have an inner awareness to these things in the first place in order to learn about them AND apply what you’ve learned, but that is more than just talent alone, it is great passion and dedication to one’s art! And THAT is what sets those great artists apart from the rest. It is the passion of always learning and improving their skill level. The beauty of those painters was that they were letting a story unfold to their viewers. A real artist isn’t just copying what they see, they are INTERPRETING it through their eyes and experiences and what attracts and intrigues them to their subject or scene in the first place. So these artists weren’t just copying or tracing, they were taking their viewers on a little adventure. They present something to you and give you just enough information to hook you and to ask more questions, or want to visit the scene, etc. As one of my favorite instructors said once, through understanding of how to use line, value and color, you can create a composition that will lead the eye successfully around the artwork. Your artwork, weather it be a painting, drawing, collage, whatever, can control the timing of what the viewer’s eyes see chronologically and what the eye rests on, plus the mood you create, among other things. Understanding and learning about all of those things on a daily basis is what separates the great artists from the rest. I remember discussing this in classes and with other artist friends, and we’d all have a laugh on how they had experiences like getting all excited about how light fell on an object and filtered through clouds or reflected light was cast, wrinkles in an old shoe, or the surface of weathered wood or water, and how if you exclaimed about that in non-artist company, they thought you were nuts! 😊❤️✏️🎨 Yeah, if you are an artist, it’s a calling. It’s your passion and even if you are not actually making art at the moment, you’re thinking about it and seeing things every day through the eyes of an artist.

[@arturstarak3170]

I wonder if I could get used to looking through it... When I draw/paint in class from reference photos I don't have much problem with proportions, maybe because the surface and a photo is already a closed composition in some sense. The problem with me comes when I work from life and there is thousands of things to look at lol. Maybe it's worth a try. Thank you for the review

[@sacroustilleuh]

With some training it'll be solved

[@chrisruss9861]

Everything is up for grabs when working in the arts. I personally prefer to draw and paint from life in a process of selection and gut response and distort and eliminate where necessary. It involves being aware of the total subject and drawing all over the surface from point to point without being mechanical.

[@phillipstroll7385]

It's cheating. If it isn't then all people whom trace images wouldn't hide that they trace. They'd be 100% completely honest with their customers. Unless you are willing to tell people you are using projectors, light boxes, lucidas etc then don't pretend you aren't cheating

[@BSCENECREATIVE]

Love your honesty!

[@monicabilicic9479]

I been studying portraits, faces , eyes, hands, postures for some time now . I usually draw free hand. My natural style is a mixture of cartoon/realistic . There are other times I use compass protractors, rulers , a window against the light to get some lines right for proportions specialIy if I want to go more realistic as its harder for me. I think this is really useful if u are a self taught artist still learning and still developing your own style. Depends also in your goals. Personally I want to become really good at realistic portraits so any device that will help me learn, grow, get closer to my goals is always a must. A real true artist has a true passion, the desire to learn more and more , the ceative process is huge , they never stop studying shapes, light, researching and you definitely transmit that through your work as it has depth and soul. Wouldn't worry too much if people cheat with this tool, you can see it straight away.

[@madArt1981]

Don’t worry about this topic. It’s nonsense, has no academic purpose and serves only to segregate the self serving & grandiose. It’s a method to exclude themselves. It’s a tool for the “I’m better” because …. It’s a gimmick at the expense of others. You’re doing fine. Persistence and dedication is key to success. Access to opportunities, there lay the problem.

I agree that this devise is useful for checking proportions and reference, like proportional dividers a reference.

[@joseandygonzalez5624]

I guess is very useful for drawing but we can't forget the true challenge is to transform those line on the flat surface in something more complicated. Drawing fastly the objects with more acurate proportion can make you go fast, and no one is cheating cause deeply you know you can do it, but slower. So I guees if there is a fast option that you can use it to start to painting is wonderful.

[@davidpayne9576]

I think......The ultimate goal is to train your eye to see differences and make adjustments without devices. The better you can train your eye without devices the more versatile you will become as a painter in all situations including plein air. However..... these devices can assist your learning process just the same way as all other devices including string, unit of measurement etc.... So in that regard I don't regard any device as cheating. But it is like riding a bike with the training wheels still attached. If you wish to continue to rely on devices instead of ultimately training your eye to see differences, then that's up to you and the type of artist you wish to be. For me, training your eye without devices is the ultimate goal, because the final result will have more of your spirit. If the final result has some degree of difference, so be it, they are your differences, and anyway, not many people will notice differences once you have removed the reference. If you wish to continue relying on devices deep into your journey beyond curiosity, then you may eventually stunt your growth, but that's up to you.

[@jeffhreid]

Adam Heredia cheating is the wrong term I agree. But the ability to craft something by hand does add something to the finished product. A hand knit sweater, hand cut dovetails on a jewelry box, a portrait drawn by hand and painted indirectly in the classical method . Some people note these things can be done faster by machine, more precisely too. They’d be right too. Too me there is still and always will be a place for handcrafted objects of art and skill. To each his own.

[@madArt1981]

Is there a difference between a painting begun by super imposing an image on a canvas and a painting done an image drawn by eye? Is there a difference in the final product? Only if the artist get their proportions/perspective wrong. The only person that will know is the artist himself. Vermeer, van Gogh, da Vinci, Rafael, Miguel Angel, Rockwell, Dali... And many many more have used aids to paint. Whether one chooses not to is solely based on gimictry. Plaese don't take this personally but it's The ole I don't use aids because I'm better trick.

If you're using sight size, you can get the same effect with just a flat mirror held perpendicular to your face, in front of your nose with both eyes open. Try it.

To pay $79 bucks is a rip-off.

me personally, I think that if someone cant draw free hand- outright drawing what is in front of thrm with out the help of drvices, they are indeed not a true artist. but tbyen, are the people who can't draw but can paint they are artists, just as long as a device is not doing the painting for them. e.g like a computer app.

Fakers who trace have no place in the art world.
