Yes! Nicely done. Illustrators have been doing this for a long time, but now the technology makes it so much more affordable and simple to set up.

[@Barthoization]

Camera Lucida was used for a very very long time. And yet if you use a projector now you are almost a called a cheater

[@kodakplus6508]

looks amazing! SO glad you love using it !!

This is the best tutorial/projector use video I have found! Thank you!

[@MsGnor]

Thanks Leah, good luck with your Paint Party biz 🥰🐮

[@brianbassett4379]

So you're doing it the same way I started in the 1950s with an overhead projector. It doesn't get any easier than that.

[@therusticeasel_]

I know! Sometimes you just have to stay with what works.

[@TreDeuce-qw3kv]

Yes! But this is far more versatile. I still have my big old heavy projector, but now space is limited when I travel in my 16-ft RV so I use this and the AuKing projector.

Thank you so much. I have just been looking through all kinds of videos and tutorials trying to figure out what I could get that’s not too expensive and user-friendly. Yours was definitely the easiest and most affordable and useful to me. I appreciate this. Thank you.

[@therusticeasel_]

Glad I could help!

[@twohandsandaradio]

Not too expensive...look up plastic wrap transfer. TRace your image on plastic wrap then shine a light thru the plastic wrap and copy. Save a TON of money.

[@the-999-asmr-tarot-show]

I have a big movie projector. I was thinking about using it to make abstract paintings. It is funny how the mind works. I had that idea years before I heard of using such a device to do that. I haven't done it because of a lack of wall and storage space.

[@cameliaschwope2688]

@@bettymarrone7386I just purchased it exactly like hers from Amazon. Got a $20 discount on the mount. It was around $315 for projector and mount. I’ve been saving up for it Lol I have depth perception issues and have trouble drawing to scale on canvas. I was using tracing paper but couldn’t do bigger images. Hoping this will alleviate a lot of that trouble.

[@Preslee76]

Can the projector connect with your camera? Meaning you have your camera open on your phone facing some sort of scenery. Will it project a live image on to your canvas?

[@gabrielcurca703]

Haw big the size of the canvas can do ?

I see now theres mini projectors with laser light..probably good for projecting onto a wall for larger pics!😅Can you project it on te wall for 2' x 3' foot paintings?😅

Hello, I know you have a Kodak 150 but do you think a Kodak 75 would be okay as well? I am trying to buy one but the Kodak 75 is almost half the price of Kodak 150. Do you have any experience with the cheaper one? Thanks!

[@therusticeasel_]

I’m not really sure. You could always try it and if it doesn’t work we’ll return it.

[@skipperdawson47]

Leah, I purchased the Kodak Luma 150 based on your information about the quality of the projector. This projector is amazing regarding the clarity of the projected image and the "mirroring" from my Iphone. Also, I'm purchasing the Arkon Mount but not sure which one to buy allowing me the greatest distance from the 150 to the canvas. What have you found to be the approximate vertical distance say for a 11"x 14" canvas?

[@patriciaheitz1664]

Wowsa!

[@therusticeasel_]

This is the one I have. It works really well and if you need the image to appear bigger just turn your image to landscape if it’s not already. amzn.to/3uYcFfc

[@HelmetVanga]

Vertical = Portrait, Horizontal = Landscape. Proyector great idea.

[@twohandsandaradio]

Proyector = projector. Don't you hate it when misspelling a word trashes your entire haughty comment?

Hey would this work if your sketch needed to be very small? Say you wanted to project onto a small door sign?

[@HelmetVanga]

When you move the image around up vertical or horizontal, are you using Kodak's software or just your basic iphone's image editor. I am on Android.

[@paintingtutorials_]

I do all of that on my phone. No software required.

[@andrewjones3606]

Can you adjust the size image natively with the projector without moving the mount?

[@connieefurulee]

What’s the model number for the camera mount. The link doesn’t connect to that item. I have purchased so many different camera mounts for projectors I could have a garage sale. I have three artograph mounts one is a floor stand and two table clamps. Just can’t seem to get the projector to line up on the mount on a tabletop to get the correct size for my paper. I like to work quite large. So it’s a challenge without projecting the image across the room to a wall (no room for that) to get the image alignment on a tabletop. In my search for a good projector mount (one with enough height for larger paper size) most have useless phone adapters. Or have a camera adapter as an afterthought. Very difficult to adjust these for vertical use. (I’ve already purchased 2 additional mounts) They don’t angle down enough, nor are they stable. The camera moves when adjusting the alignment. The one you show seems to give the correct alignment. Thanks for your response.

can i use this for rock painting?

[@paintingtutorials_]

I would think so but that's not something I have tried before.

[@Mimikyu-guy]

Does anyone know if the image quality is good for smaller drawing ? I’m trying to project a image onto a small pair of jeans

[@lynild]

While I haven’t done it, if you put the projekter closer the details should still be there just harder to get them all because of the size. Whereas if you choose a small image as to project you likely would lose details to because the quality would disappear in pixels if you blew it up to a larger size. I base this on working on digital art and website development btw.

That mini projector is $250 bucks!!

[@HelmetVanga]

$219.00 not bad. Does the price frightens you? If you work 9-5 and are happy fantastic. people will buy for hobby. rich people feel nothing in the pocket. Artists like me, is a necessity, a tool that will help you speed your art developing. Fine art using any tools can be difficult if you lack skill, but it can be acquired with practice and perseverance. I think this tool is good for trancing to later paint watercolor and/or oil.

[@carlwinslow5905]

Wait Till you see prices on professional projectors!

[@Labyrnthdom]

So I'm looking at roughly a little over $300 just to trace an image. Yeah, hard pass. I'm going to stick with onion skin and carbon pencils. Pretty cool video, though. It's just not worth the $ to me.

[@thisone9]

$300 for this set up? Are you nuts? If you need to trace just use tracing paper on an iPad and transfer it to your canvas with the graphite transfer paper method.

[@user-qs4ub2yv1y]

Way harder to do that. Regardless of price of set-up(some projectors are much cheaper), projector method is far better; especially for precise sizing to your canvas or wall.

[@AA-wc3tw]

I've been trying to do El Cheapo tracing methods lately and it is so frustrating and time-consuming. $300 is a bit steep for beginner tools imo, but time is money. Just because one method is free, doesn't mean it's quicker or easier. I'm going to keep researching drawing projectors to find something that works for me in my price range. The frustration and time-consumption of the El Cheapo methods I've been trying, have been holding me back from creating art.
