How to copy a drawing

[@brianrichards7006]

Thank you. Very concise and direct video. And this was a new technique for me, even after 40 years of being an artist.

This whole show is so well scripted & edited. I never appreciated how well you explained it all when I was a kid in the 80s.

Many thanks, please spread the word - Rob

Visual learning is alot better than strictly auditory learning

Repeat the process one more time and the mirror image reverts back to normal. It's a bit like a camera obsura but much simpler, it's great to see old technology like this demonstrated. Great video thanks for uploading these segments. I used to watch the show as a child and they are a nice little trip down memory lane remembering ABC afternoon children's TV programing from the 1980s.

A show I used to watch as a kid has just saved me an amazon purchase. 😊

Finally I have found a use for my college diploma, I mean the frame, not the diploma.

Awesome! A long lost art given digital image sensors and photocopiers. Thanks for uploading all of these shorts, I wish they could be re-broadcast between kids TV shows.

Yeah, it's a mirror image. I remember seeing advertising for other drawing copiers in the 90's. It involved adjustable arms for enlarging/shrinking. I thought it was the neatest thing at the time.

[@CuriosityShow]

Yes, that is a pantograph. You can still buy plastic versions in art shops and some toyshops but, as you say, this is different and works on a very different principle - Rob

A really good trick. But I would probably try it first with another technique. I would put the glass over a lamp and than put the picture on the glass. Now I would put the new paper on the picture. Maybe the contrast and the light are enough strong to copy the picture. Like on a light table.

Thank you so much. These etchr tracing mirrors are so expensive, it's so nice that I can just make it myself :)

[@mutantthegreat7963]

I'd give anything to go back to the old days..

Or you can suspend the glass horizontally on 2 books. Put the drawing on top of the glass and plain paper on the drawing, then put a light under the glass. Then you can draw by following the contour and all the details.

How much we have moved on. Carbon copy paper would be easier , then and now. I used to give the children this stuff in my class as a fun thing. They loved it, and raised their self esteem.

[@carrikarni]

can you use magnified class to get a larger image?

[@amruthbadidrawing2104]

Super 🔥

[@somerandomalienontheintern8916]

Cool

[@drawingandshades8738]

Does anybody know which tool or trick is being used by most KZbinrs to draw different things. I know they are using some sort of tracer for that without being noticed. I don't think they are using this kind of mirror. Might be glasses?

[@gratitude62]

excellent

[@grfdevries]

Why not put the books on top?

[@joselacera8716]

wow very nice

[@bluestarhealingangels9162]

Ooo yes it does work!!! I can draw off of my phone better don’ t need a light it works lot cheaper than that Lucy drawer

[@ay-nv3ey]

[@velvetnightmare3133]

Why don't you put the books on the other side, out of your way?? 🤔🤔🤔

[@raysmith2940]

You mean the other end.

[@velvetnightmare3133]

@@raysmith2940 no like, instead of the person side of the desk.

[@ConScortis]

Was that a portrait of Deane?

[@CuriosityShow]

Not intentionally - Rob

[@londheyash]

I believe tracing paper is way easy compared to this setup

Woah...

[@MichaelStilmant]

Painful to see him struggling with his arms over the big books while he could have put them the other side of the table...

[@timothyahern9476]

This technique doesn't work when attempting to forge money. I just ended up with a bunch of sderdnuh that nobody fell for.
