Huion Light Pad Review & Using a Lightbox for Watercolor Painting

[@Kagome932]

Thanks for showing the 300lb paper on that light pad! I've had my eye on it for awhile but I always wanted to test it with really thick paper. Perfect review, thanks!

[@ThatLynnGirl]

Exactly what I was watching this for! I love my 300# paper and hate my graphite paper LOL This is very cool. THANKS!

[@music4me831]

Becuz of this review, I bought a slightly smaller version, $39.00 @Amazon. WOW!! Super light, very bright. Can even allow for heavy 300lb card stock like Steve showed. If you need a light box, you can't go wrong with these. THANK YOU, STEVE!! Great review

[@sandrawilliams1015]

Thank you so much for that. I have a similar lightbox which I've hardly used as it never seemed bright enough. It didn't occur to me to switch off the lights around me!! So glad I watched your video.

[@mindofwatercolor]

+Sandra Williams glad to help!

[@ccc-yp8ot]

Love your show. Thank you for sharing your best tips. I am recovering from an injury and trying to find something new to fill my days. You make watercolor fun!!

[@beats2476]

Recently started watercolor at 62. I'm so happy I found you. You have a lot of great information. I just watched the watercolor pallet one, and I have most of the ones you mentioned, so I'm set up on that. I started buying WN paints for the good paintings whenever that will happen. LOL. But I am using my older paint so not to waste it. I'm so excited and grateful for people like you, who take your precious time to teach us techniques, and products available out there. Again thank you sooo much. When I'm a little better I will invest in the lightbox. I have one but is quite small compared to the one you just showed. Ok, ok I'm done.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Thanks and welcome!

[@Cheryl5154]

Great video, as always, Steve! I bought the A4 Huion light pad after I saw my sister-in-law's that she uses for quilting patterns. I really like it for the papercrafting that I do. Unfortunately, mine didn't come with an AC adapter--it has to plug into one of my computer's USB ports. However, I found that the adapter for charging my iPhone works great on the end of the lo-o-o-ng cord that came with mine, so I can plug into a regular electrical socket. I was impressed to see that these will work with 300-lb watercolor paper! What a bonus!

[@mindofwatercolor]

[@Sick1982]

Very useful review! Price difference with more expensive light-boxes was very confusing… knowing that it works well with 300g paper was very useful!

[@Balmorian]

Thank you for unboxing your Huion light pad for us. I have been thinking about getting a light pad to replace my old dim and cumbersome light box. Yep, gotta have one.

[@annak2575]

Wow - I didn't even know such portable lightbox's existed and all the different ways of using them, thank you soo much for this wonderful information!

[@FreeSpokenOne]

This is the brand of light pad I choose to buy too and it's really nice how it adjusts intensity and makes sketching out watercolor greeting cards much easier and faster. I bought an extra clip for it too but have never used them! Tape leaves a sticky residue behind so that part I still grapple with.

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

Hello thank you for showing how the Huion light pad works on 300 lb watercolour paper. Its my favoriete drawing and sketching paper. I have bought the huion A2 light/ tracing pad. I love you,re drawings

[@barb4255]

I bought one of these a few years ago for viewing slides. Smaller, but still, I can use it. I also have a class drafting table that I could use with led lighting underneath. Great ideas from this video.

[@benspeeds]

Great video as always. Just another helpful tip: I've been known to use my computer monitor or even my larger LED TV display. They both work to great effect. Hopefully that's helpful to some hobbyists like myself who want to be able to do transfers without getting graphite all over the pkace or spending additional money. Of course the mobility of the light tablet can't be beat.Thank you once again Captain Watercolor! Keep on washin'!

[@mindofwatercolor]

Thanks for the input. Yep, whatever works. I've been known to use the sliding glass doors to our back deck for a lighbox. Worked just fine. Just have to tape the work down.

[@QueenWaspGo]

This is what I do, but unfortunatly for me the doors open to a covered porch. So if I need to transfer to watercolor paper and the other sheet is thicker than sketch paper it's really difficult.

[@NoDontLikeIt]

I used to use my mom’s glass top coffee table as my own personal light table. Lol. She would set a little desk lamp under the table and I would trace and paint(watercolor) and color to my heart’s content.

[@bebepreps3970]

Thanks, you showed me exactly what I needed to know - will it work through thicker paper! Yes. Great vid.

[@deborahrech7429]

I just ordered the Voilamart light pad a couple days ago. Wish I had watched your video first. Great review and explanation. Thanks.

[@whocare9942]

i have a small size one of these. For the price it's really great as the thing is comparable to the artograph from what I've seen of those. I use it for so many things from painting to comics to transfering patterns for embroidery.

[@Joe_Maysky]

Thanks for this Steve! I haven't used a lightbox/pad since middle school art class but I'm thinking one of my own might be good, particularly for any kind of figurative work or portraits (of people or animals). The line drawing for any kind of realistic work in any medium is by far my greatest challenge so I like to take advantage of whatever I can. If I'm doing a loose, impressionistic landscape I don't need a line drawing but I see this being useful for portraits as I said.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Yes, exactly. I do a lot of iterative drawing for portraiture and a light pad is invaluable. Tracing paper can work but when your iteration only needs a few tweaks a light pad facilitates going right to the watercolor paper instead of a final transfer.

[@martynsnan]

Thanks for the video, Steve. I bought the same Huion A3 Light Pad a while ago. I have a habit of sketching an idea on the nearest scrap of paper. Enlarging on a computer and scanner, printing, then using the light pad enabled me to turn those ideas into paintings without having to start all over again. Excellent product. These days I keep a small watercolour pad handy but I still haven't broken the habit of drawing on whatever is to hand.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Light boxes are great for that approach for sure.

[@amexjam55]

I've been thinking of getting a lightbox. Thanks for the review.

[@TerraRiley]

So helpful! Thank you for the demo with different weights of paper!! ❤️❤️

[@RCKYBOO2024]

Great video. Just wish I had found your channel earlier. Last month I bought an Artograph Pro Led 17x17 light pad. Works fine but SO much more expensive for the same as this one. Only difference is it can generate warm or cool light, includes a cloth cover and two pucks to prop it up. Not worth the diff in price to me. Guess I'm just paying for the name . Sigh. Oh well. Will keep watching you for excellent tips on painting and products. Thanks so much for all of this.😍

[@marydeevaldez51]

Thank you so much. I just bought one and needed more information on how it worked.

Thank you for showing the 300. I only work on 300 and 400 paper. And I was wondering if this kind of product would do the job. Thank you!

[@yettsoman]

Another great vid. I've got the A4 huion which is cool too. It works off of USB power so you can use a charged phone bank to power it. You can then use it in the field when there is no mains which is a great bonus. I sometimes use watercolour pencils in similar colours to the original for the tracing. Cheers g

[@mindofwatercolor]

Thanks for the input!

[@kathrynholden4223]

Saw this video a couple of months ago and bought another brand on Amazon. Big mistake. Poor lighting and then it just quit working. So bought the Huion and am delighted with it! Not very confident in my drawing yet, but using the light pad helps me transfer my best efforts to the paper. Appreciate your recommendation, Steve.

[@Bushy-73]

This video has helped me a lot, I was just looking at them 2 days ago, the bit about being able to see the photo or your picture through watercolour paper, even the thick stuff is great. I sometimes do it old school way, up against a window on tracing paper, then use graphite paper on watercolour paper

[@mindofwatercolor]

Yep, have done both myself several times. 🙂

Thank you 😊I love your videos!! You mentioned a projector!!...could you do a video on how well they help or what to look for when purchasing one?!? That would be very helpful!! Thanks for sharing all of your info and painting tips!!😎

[@mindofwatercolor]

+Donna Spitler I probably won't do a video but they are primarily for enlargement tracing of small sketches and photos. Now days I just get photocopy blow ups because I don't enlarge them enough to need a projector. Projectors are useful for transferring to very large opaque surfaces like big canvases or painting boards. Kind of awkward and clunky to use. And you need almost complete darkness.

[@donnaspitler9911]

+The Mind of Watercolor thank you for your reply!!...it helped a lot!! Have a great day!!🙋🏻😎

[@notmetagaming]

I bought a cheap one on Amazon for like $12 and I use it to add characters to my watercolor paintings. Since this is my process, the light pad has to be bright enough to be able to see the character I printed out on printer paper through my painted watercolor paper. As long as my painting isn't too dark, it works okay. I'm wondering how much brighter if any a more expensive light pad would be as opposed to a $12 on amazon?

[@silkbod343]

Your art work is gorgeous.

[@nancyloomis3046]

I just purchased a highly rated A4 size (9 x 13, the smallest) light tablet from Amazon for like $23.00. “Picture Perfect” is the brand. (There were many other highly rated & reasonably priced tablets listed.) This one is super lightweight and has 3 brightness settings. I’ve been wanting one for a while and even occasional use will make it worth it. If I see I need something bigger or more sophisticated, which I doubt, I’ll feel free to get another one down the road with only spending $23.00 on this one.

[@urssysplace2622]

Hello, thank you for this video. I was wondering if a light pad for 'diamond painting' kits would work as well for my watercolor paper. I think this will work fine now.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Yes, they are pretty much the same thing.

[@thomaskauffman983]

What kind of desktop lighting would you suggest and what kind of equipment would you recommend in today's world. Thirty years ago, I would have two lights, one on either side of my drafting table to even out the lighting. I used incandescent for one lamp and florescent for the other lamp, but understand LED lighting is "better" for artists. I'm setting my space back up now that I've retired and want to get started right. You have been sticking with art and keeping current and I was hoping to take advantage of your experience. Thank you!

[@mindofwatercolor]

I use a 2- tube fluorescent fixture directly over head with natural daylight bulbs (5000k) And I use a daylight fill light (LED also 5000k) over my left shoulder to even out the overhead shadows. Works well.

[@thomaskauffman983]

[@wanttolearnreidy4469]

Thanks for this review. I have a homemade one that I have had for years, but the light is very uneven and not really bright enough. It can be most frustrating to use and takes up valuable bench space. The one you reviewed and demonstrated looks to be an excellent light box/pad. Interesting Steve.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Yeah, uneven light is a slight problem with my big metal box. I love the even, bright lighting if the light pad.

[@josephbrady8701]

My light box is a home made wooden--well, it's a box with a light bulb socket on the inside. The top is a sheet of white, spray painted plexiglass sheet mounted on a hinge. Ithas two settings, off and on. Brightness can be adjusted by swapping the LED bulb for a brighter bulb. What it lacks in versatility and features it makes up for in that it was inexpensive and that I already have it. This is in contrast to other light boxes, light tables and light pads, which I don't have.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Yup! I believe in using what you have. My first light box was home made and very much like you describe. It did the job as do opaque projectors, patio doors and TVs as many here have said. Been there done that. The second light box I owned was given to me (the big metal one shown a the end of this video). Used it for 3 decades. Great but a beast! LED's light pads were a breakthrough for me. Lower cost (relatively) lack of hot spots for very even lighting and thin, lightweight, portable form factor that sets up right on an easel like a drawing pad. Love it so much! Need is relative but sliced bread is sliced bread!

[@barbaraelliott7078]

Question Steve. I notice you are using a mechanical pencil. Which size graphite do you recommend for drawing on watercolour paper. I’m tired of sharpening regular pencils.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Its personal preference. I have pretty much all sizes. I tend to use .5 and .7 the most. .3 is good for fine detail. .9 is good for filling in or shading.

[@barbaraelliott7078]

The Mind of Watercolor very helpful Steve. Thanks for the quick response. I’m one of your Minders. You make the lessons fun and personable. Cheers

[@susanhounshell6444]

I just got one yesterday and am so thrilled with it. I'm wondering: can this light box be used to transfer a design onto needlepoint a needlepoint canvas or for embroidery purposes?

[@mindofwatercolor]

I haven't tested it with those materials but it works with 300lb watercolor paper so I'm guessing yes.

[@scottnicholson2699]

Can you transfer a picture from a i phone on the pad

[@mindofwatercolor]

This light bad does not display files. It's only a light.

[@paulainaustria9180]

Thank you for this inspiration! One question: I like to keep the sheet glued to the pad to keep it flat. Do you mount the paper afterwards? ... on plywood? I searched your channel, maybe I missed a video where you tell us how you keep your paper flat while painting? Thank you!

[@mindofwatercolor]

I don't stretch paper often but if keeping paper flat is your goal you'll need to stretch it or press flatten it afterwards. This is a video I did on stretching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGO8kpmwoNOKhLM

[@julienielsen3746]

So, if you wanted to not have any lines on your watercolor, you could just use your drawing underneath and put the watercolor paper over the drawing. Then paint on the watercolor paper? Just wondering if that would work. Or is it just best to transfer the drawing to the watercolor paper?

[@mindofwatercolor]

For me transferring depends on how complex the image is. Either way I keep the pencil extremely light. It would be difficult however to paint over the light table in the dark. If you could achieve a happy medium of seeing the drawing underneath with having enough light on top then maybe.

[@julienielsen3746]

Thanks. I didn't think about the lighting. You're right. It would be too dark to work in.

[@cmumford1477]

HI: I think someone else just asked this but does this work with photographs? Thanks for your great videos! I enjoy your enthusiasm and sense of humor.

[@mindofwatercolor]

+Cathy Mumford yes, with 140 lb paper but by the time you add the thickness of 300 lb paper to photo paper its a bit too thick to see through. In that case you need to have your photo copied to plain paper.

[@susanhamilton1822]

Two years ago I bought the DBMeir when Angela recommended it. The brightest light setting has gone dark already and I only used the brightest setting. I am some P Od I'll tell you. I've messaged them and they don't answer. I'm thinking to get one of these and wondered how yours is doing? I believe we have had them for almost the same length of time. I really don't want to go back to the messy graphite. Thanks Steve.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Its still doing fine but I can't really attest to its longevity from heavy use. I don't use it frequently since, with the exception of portraits or complex perspective pieces for which I do preliminary drawings, I tend to draw landscapes freehand right on my watercolor paper.

[@susanhamilton1822]

I don't think I used mine frequently by anyone's estimate. I think I just got a bum light. I've ordered the small Huion. I will have to wait awhile but the shipping is free so that's a bonus. It's not horribly expensive.$40. Not bad. I paid a lot more for the DBMeir and I will use it for a frizbee now. lol Thanks again Steve.

Does it damage the surface of the light pad when you press hard to make your tracing? I know if you use your computer monitor or your TV monitor as the background light that projects your image onto your watercolor paper, the monitors can be very imprinted from a pencil.

Nice review! I am using a cheap, handheld 8.5 x 11" Crayola tracing pad at the moment - the brightness isn't adjustable, and it doesn't handle thicker papers. The Huion would be a great upgrade, although the Crayola is an inexpensive option for hobbyists (like me). Thanks for showing this off!

Thank you Steve! I’ve watched both of ur videos a few times on both sizes. Just not sure which size I should go with? The smaller looks more practical, but I know I’m going to do larger pieces?! Which would u recommend? Have u tried any other brands since these videos? 😊💗👍🏼

[@mindofwatercolor]

I would buy what you would use the most or be the most practical. You can move a large piece around on a smaller light pad if you need to. The smaller one is easier to manage for sure. On the other hand if you can manage either size well enough then the big one does give you more options.
