Which NeoLucida is Right for Me?

We offer three different NeoLucidas: The original prism NeoLucida, the glass-and-mirror NeoLucida XL, and the all-new NeoLucida Plus. What are the differences, you may ask? Here's a little explainer to go through the different optical benefits of each model.

There are a wide range of drawing aids available. You use what furthers your art. Believe me drawing aids do not guarantee amazing art. That is completely up to the artist. As an artist I have traced over photos, just don't find that very productive; projected slides onto large paper on a wall; used my pencil or paint brush handle as an arms length proportional gauge; currently use a proportional divider to help on portraits. These devices have been used for hundreds of years and are extremely interesting. I'm sure I will be getting one soon.

I wanted to purchase the NeoLucida XL for my Mother thinking that it's designed with an wider opening so she doesn't have to strain her eye in squinting. But judging from the video you've to still look into a small aperture... Do you have an option for my needs please?

Can this work on a 16x20 and larger size canvas

Do the Original and the Plus work best with the dominant eye?

[@neo.lucida]

They all work with any eye you would like to use. The optics allow for either eye and the eyepiece is able to switch for left-hand or right-hand use.

Yes!

Many will consider this to be cheating or that it stifles creativity.

[@neo.lucida]

Some people have said that about a lot of art technologies. You say “many will consider this…” but what do you think?

[@msmiami9791]

Many masters used this kind of technique…

[@jbaldwin1970]

They would be wrong. Tools like this have been used for centuries.
