What's the beat is dope?

can i transfer an image from a paper to a canvas using a lightpad?

💛

Cool!!

I copied 1000s of pictures before i could understand drawing. Tracing is not cheating unless it is being used to pass off a drawing as your own which is plagiarism. We all must start somewhere. It builds finger strength and dexterity.

It’s only cheating when you trace another artists creation and claim it as your own

2:40 My take... NO! Of course not! People will learn from the muscle memory. They can use a light box to learn anatomy. Learn what shapes are incorporated in a human body, or other figure. You can learn so much just from tracing, I'm sure of it. I'll prove it once I get this light box LOL!

Thank you for your 2 cents 200 pesos. It was worth a million for me.

NO tracing is not cheating, it is a learning tool like many things.

Great Video, thanks for the inspiration!

😊😊😊Just ordered one. I have done exactly what you described...tried to redraw a piece and it never is the way I first drew it. Its also a way to preserve drawings that you want to keep. Illustrations, cartoons, comic characters. It will help your creativity level. And remove a lot of frustration.

Good information

hello I'm from Indonesia, thank you for this video, I focused on listening to you talk & reading the subtitles, the information you convey is very useful, that the trace pad or light box is very useful for reducing drawing time, especially if the image is wrong or paint spills over, to re-scratching takes a long time, so this is really cool

❤❤❤all your comments Manny and agree 100% with what you say here. I drew a beautiful rose sometime back in the 1980s before I ever got into digital art. I just recently found it after cleaning out some drawer. I don’t remember actually doing it, but man is it going to save me some time tracing it with my light pad. I could never free hand this baby ever again. I’m much older and have lost some ability I had in the past due to arthritis. For this reason alone, I am so grateful for my light pad and for your advice in the video. Blessings to you!💗

if i use a lightbox to simply trace out the lines ONLY, but add the details manually, meaning shade, blend, etc which might take me anywhere from 3 - 9 days depending on the level of detail, does this make me an artist? ( serious question)

thanks for sharing this video .. I am your new fan.. stay connected

Yeah I'm from the old school; they pimpin the simpin. My intellectual wouldn't allow my actions into it.

that and the pinhole camera

My concern is can it illuminate throughout bristol

Great information 👍

Does it work with thick watercolour paper?

Lo

HECK YA MAN!!!! Thats awesome!

Proud of you bro!!

Light boxes are awesome. I don't have one but my daughter does but she never uses it. Money blown 🌬️ 🍃 But! Every time I see it I think of that "I'm gonna be Tracer" meme

Picasso proabably came up w cubism bc he had a bad day w drawing! Lols.

Hi could you help me please

colombian pesos!!!!! 💛💙❤

For me I draw the shapes and body on one piece of paper, use a light box to clean that up pn another sheet, then I use another sheet to ink the art piece, having the originals is a good way to fix any mistakes you made and that way you dont have to get all stressed about mistakes. Is it a hassle? Yes but less of one then having to do it all over again would be

I'm actually down to use a lightbox with grid paper for evenness. Don't want to stay dependent on that, but I'm not waiting to develop better skills when I can draw beautiful pieces the way I want NOW. Finding work arounds for skills one lacks IS A SKILL.

Someone: Tracing is che- Me: DOES IT GET THE JOB DONE WITHOUT PLAGIARISM? Yes? BET. Also, cheating isn't always a bad thing. 😈

Good video, and well put.

.........LightBox is a Tool....no more or less. And I love it to use....for cleaning my Art. ;-)

Keep at it, looking good

Thank you! Nice, succinct presentation.

I like this better than photo shop and its not cheating. People say its cheating because those People are jealous that they can,t affort one. And like you said a light box or light pad is cheating than what is photo shop?

Idk why Sonics shoes are black :P

Sonic Drip

i like but sonic shoes is red

Sonic got new black shoes

I just now realized this was 3 years ago I just found this in my recommended so oop-

Why is it black?

Drawing every day is key to becoming a decent artist. The greatest artists spent their time 'copying' the masters. I can see a light box being useful to practice all sorts of tricky things like hands and foreshortening.

Tracing isn’t cheating lol like u said it’s a way to learn tracing is to vague of a term am I cheating when tracing my own photo reference nah am I cheating for tracing over some one else’s work I would make a stretch and say not really copying is cheating that’s what u mean

I don't understand how the light box was used before hahha thank you very much for explaining ☺️

You need to credit the artist. soundcloud.app.goo.gl/msRD15sjVPiwY7jP6

Is that Blue Boy Lakey?

I'm actually considering using this to make videos teaching math. It seems like an interesting alternative to having 2 or 3 light boxes to prevent 'shadows'. I was looking for light boxes on Amazon and saw the one for drawing so came to YT to see what people are using them for and what the general opinion is; I know it's not the intended use but it might be worth trying. Thanks for your insights.

Can you see through thick paper with a light box?
