Today I am trying a new series of video (depending on how well this does.. lol) where I buy art gimmicks, overpriced art crap to see if it is in fact, actually not bad at all! This is the $50 smART Projector I found in the toy aisle at Target, where you project and trace your art, it was in the toy aisle which makes it even more pricey, but is it actually good??

[@NanaSomebody]

It would be cool if you used that thing to trace your digital art because it’s easier to sketch digitally and you don’t have to erase as much, but if you do traditional art you can use that.

I've always heard don't trace don't trace tracing is litteraly how I learned how to draw I knew right from wrong and anything I traced I didn't claim as mine I didn't even have social media except for facebook at that time but it's great practice especially if you redraw it without tracing for your hand to get used to drawing

[@ashupershpie]

Don’t feel guilty. Tracing is a valid way to learn. I mean, that’s how most of us learned to write letters! (Trace, trace a partial then write on your own worksheets). Only thing to keep in mind: if you plan to sell the final artwork, make sure you have copyright permission, or use images from a site like Pixabay.

I remember it also had a lot of facial features like different sets of eyes, noses and mouths so you can create human faces xD

I think the main point of the step by step is that you don't miss any lines, and there is less chance of covering the projector light when doing the step by step. That option is probably aimed more at the younger audience..

[@davinao]

I think they made a step by step bc the whole image might intimidate the small kids

[@ambsquared]

I can’t draw, but I have been using a projector app on my iPad to trace pictures. I have been trying to just do more outlines and finish the drawing without looking through the pad. I don’t think I will ever get to the point where I can draw just from looking at something, but it is still satisfying to spend some time and turn a blank page into an image people can recognize. Going to try sketching outlines and then paint with watercolors the details. First efforts not so good, but I’ll keep trying. At 50, hopefully this old dog can learn some new tricks.

[@Hathsh]

Giraffe/Pizza stitch is very cute!

[@thenerdymillennial]

I probably won't get this but I am now convinced that I need a projector for my art👍

[@deathbearbrown]

One thing you could use the frames for with the tracing toy is if you have a composition broken up by color. Maybe you want to use only blue on one layer, then red on the next, and green on the last. You can cycle through each frame as you work.

[@paulahills9546]

Seeing the problems you are having being left handed, I would imagine it would be nearly impossible doing it right handed! Surely your hand would be constantly right under the light, so you can't see the picture on your paper. It does seem a bit excessive for what it is though. Loved the pic of Stitch! ❤️

[@mjpete27]

Well Chloe, once again you create a wonderful video for your viewers! I have used opaque projectors for years and they are so cheap now, just looked $39 on Amazon for a cheap one. If you spend a bit more you can get one to project movies! And of course any artwork you put into it as well. I enjoyed this I hope you make it as series it reminds me of NerdEcrafter’s cash or trash videos! They are fun too. I know you will make it fun and in your own style! Lovely video, wonderful time spent with Chloe Rose!

[@tiffanysandmeier4753]

My daughter received this for her birthday a few years ago. She still likes it.. It is okay, but you can connected it to a phone and basically trace any picture. I made some cards with "hand drawn" Pokémon for my kids. I also made a watercolor drawing of a macaw from a picture I took at the zoo.

[@The_Life]

This Stitch will haunt my dreams lol it was beautiful but still so scary. So nice that that contraption is being donated, too! It looks so cool!

[@karabear19]

For anyone who could benefit from this, tracing is perfectly fine to do. A lot of professional artists will trace their images especially if it's a paid commission so they can give the best results possible to the person buying the painting. There's no shame in tracing. I trace quite a bit because I do watercolor and I can't afford to damage the paper by erasing and redrawing certain areas. Even when I freehand something, I will still trace it by sketching it onto a scrap piece of paper and then trace it onto my watercolor paper.

[@randomkitty1816]

I used to have an art projector when i was younger (10-15 years ago), it was battery powered and used disks with the pictures on. And I used it a lot🤔. Yours is a lot more modern, but the basics is the same.

[@IndecisiveDaisies]

Hate to be annoying but it would be great if you could fix the echo sounds, it makes it hard to watch /listen to your new videos. I know its a new space, maybe delay coming out with new videos to have the time to fix this. Thanks!

i had something like that when i was a little kid, think it was made by crayola tho?? and it was probably wayyy cheaper because early 2000s yah know?

[@alicejump2290]

Projectors have always been attractive to artists and craftsmen! As children we all tried to make them! This fifty dollar version was not bad and it was entertaining to watch you, as always, have blessed and safe days!

[@uboaappears]

This looks potentially useful for things like making a digital sketch and then tracing onto paper or canvas without wasting an extra bit of paper! (Though personally I am a masochist who likes to sketch traditonally most of the time, but... You know!)

[@EvelynRobinson22]

I was tempted to buy a similar projector, but instead of projecting down, it was a vertical projection. I think that would be great for murals or even a canvas propped up on a full sized easel

[@mandyheart8754]

Is the reason why you’re having issues with blocking the projection because you’re left handed?

[@JustARandomOnTheWeb]

I was thinking it would be worse for right handers unless you have it facing the other way. Maybe it’s easier not to block it if you don’t have to have the angle right for filming

[@Drummerchef13]

What I've found using projectors (for enlarging my own art) you start where your shadow would be so you've already done what you then block. And use the ability to block to see what you've missed

My mom had an overhead projector because she used to make wooden yard decorations and painting on large canvases (totally wish I got her artistic genes) but we had one like the ones at school and I used to love to draw on that thing and play like I was a teacher! Haha was so fun! I would have loved this too as a kid! 😊

...is that a pizza Stitch? Spaghetti? Just a pattern? I sat here watching the whole video trying to figure it out. 😂 But $50 for a tracing toy is crazy expensive...I usually use a light box. They are pretty cheap now...but mine is like 10+ yrs old. But it still works! Or if it's a big piece, I use a glass table with a light. Though I can understand how some kids would enjoy this. It's cute with the animation and connects with your phone...techy. 😆

[@MunchyMakesStuff]

I can see this also being useful if you're not very good at painting but you already have like drawing and sketching and stuff down or you need to make multiple of the same piece for like...selling or something...? cuz you can project the drawing you already did onto the canvas and it makes the process of taking it from a sketch to a painting easier

There’s lots of people out there making a living by tracing. Projectors are pretty common among colored pencil artists. It’s a time consuming medium and they take any shortcut they can. Some even draw on heated boards so the pencils go down smooth and buttery. Because at the end of the day, a non-artist who commissions a portrait only cares that it looks like the subject. Is it cheating? Kinda. Is it lazy? Of course. Do they churn out lots of impressive looking drawings and charge top dollar? You know they do.

[@ElfsArt24]

Tracing isn't cheating or lazy it helps when learning to draw and there is nothing wrong with selling it as long as tracing isn't the only thing you did

I mostly do digital art now, but when I do traditional art I also trace it on a new sheet of paper using a light plate. The projector could be useful for transferring your sketch to wood or canvas though, since a light plate wouldn't cut it for that.
