Today I'm going to be talking about how to use a light pad or light box to transfer or trace your images.Plus I am doing a small demo and review of the one I use from Huion. I also want to share a very important and (maybe obvious) tip that I learnt about using light pads to transfer your images from one piece of paper to another.
I hope you all enjoy this video:) Feel free to ask any questions below and remember to subscribe if you'd like to see more.

A quick little video on how I use a light pad:)

@koce_koce4976 5 лет назад

Excuse me but what is the size of this thing? it looks masive

@Landomadsen 5 лет назад

You have a lot of copic markers

@annemariebenoit4263 5 лет назад

@@koce_koce4976 She told you approximately. The lit screen is made to fit an A4 sized paper, which is 29.7cm x 21 cm or 8.3 in x 11.7 in. I have a slightly different model but it looks very close in size; the entire pad, boarders included, measures 15.4 in x 10.6 in give or take a decimal or two.

@gillianbc 4 года назад

For watercolours, I've found it really useful to draw the image on the wrong side of the watercolour paper in ink. I can then use the lightbox to paint in the first pale washes - no more pencil marks on the right side!

@FVCK- 4 года назад

@gillian bc great idea! 👍🏻

@ilgecoxey4902 3 года назад

That is a Greta idea thanks for the tip

The only 'problem' is that the image will be mirrored.

@ellendorsi5817 2 года назад

Where can I purchase this? Did you say Amazon?

@jonathanjacjohnson 5 лет назад

Thanks for mentioning the over head lights off! I feel quite dumb for thinking that my watercolor paper was too thick 😅

@sarjenka 3 года назад

Little tip: it also works on a powerbank. Useful when you want to work somewhere without access to a powersource or laptop/computer

@jisuki6731 5 месяцев назад

OMG! Its definitely not obvious to me. This was one of the reasons why I didn't get a light box because I wanted to transfer sketches onto watercolor paper and didn't think it could show through. I would not have thought to turn off over head lights 🥴😂 I ordered a light box and can't wait to use it 🤸😁 Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant tip! 🙏❤️

@octoberfox3399 6 месяцев назад

I never thought about turning off the lights. I was concerned with pads not being bright enough with the light. But now I'm not worried as much. Thank you for the great tip! 😊

@axolartl6495 6 лет назад

OMG thanks so much for making this! I was having trouble finding information on lightboxes because i guess no one else bothered to create a video like this assuming everyone else already knew :) Now I'm considering buying one :D

@WindyIris 6 лет назад

I'm glad you liked it - having a light really speeds up the transferring process of you do that a lot. I haven't seen many videos about using light boxes either but I thought it would be making one😀

@vyuxio6507 5 лет назад

@jillburgraff-miceli5294 5 лет назад

@MrsBednar Год назад

Thank you. I don’t think I would have thought of turning overhead lights off. Going to try using it for the first time today and I have watercolor paper!

@BassTromBen 2 года назад

I’m so glad I found this video. I bought a light table for my daughter, but never considered turning off the overhead lights. She was struggling in the same way, and I thought maybe I had a low quality table. Thank you so much for the help!

@BassTromBen 2 года назад

Also, your art looks amazing! I’m excited to see where my daughter’s art goes. She could lose an entire week, if I didn’t remind her to eat and shower. 😂 It’s such an amazing passion.

@MrMcHoodoo 5 лет назад

Hi Wendy, Thanks for the review and particularly for the "obvious" tip! I just received a light box I ordered from Amazon today. I have not used a light box for decades and I believe your "obvious" tip just reduced the learning curve for me significantly; before I have even started using it. Thank you so very much! All the best to you!

@arielle_art 3 года назад

This is so helpful 😆 I've been contemplating getting a lightbox for a really long time, because it takes me so long to transfer sketches using graphite! I wanted to see how they work first, and your video is so informative and has lots of helpful tips 😍

I just recently started trying to learn how to paint, about five weeks ago. I'm fairly decent at painting now oh, course I have a long way to go. But I'm terrible at sketching things out. Is this Bright enough to shine through a canvas? Let's say I put it directly up against the back of a 16 by 20 canvas?

I might buy one, so you basically use it to trace am I right?

@juliec. 3 года назад

@@bencoleman7769 exactly... I can’t draw so this is the next best thing lol. I researched them and this brand appeared to have a strong light to penetrate through heavy cotton watercolour paper. Also it was one of the less expensive ones... Planning to try it tonight 🤞

@ThePatrick42044 2 года назад

Wow .. I really appreciate the information. I'm just getting in to leatherwork and this could certainly help with transferring patterns to leather. I stumbled across this sort of product while looking at tracing film & tracing paper on eBay. I was wondering if I should buy one. But wanted to know how to use one first.

@inolas1234 3 года назад

Thanks so much . Very useful. I paint on canvas but draw on paper first. The canvases are already stretched and often have vertical or horizontal wood support . My ptoblem is to reproduce my sketch on the canvas . What is the working support made of? Is it glass? Can it easily break or be scratched? How resistant is it,? Does it exist in A2? Any ideas would be most welcomed. I love your video.

@mattthrower9233 3 года назад

Do you know of any light-boxes/pads out there where you can upload an image to the devise itself to then trace? i.e. if you wanted to trace over a photo or graphic for example.

@mattthrower9233 3 года назад

@Ty Pat NY unfortunately not. The only other thing would be a full blown drawing tablet but I think there should be scope for something in-between. Maybe with simple image reading software and that's it so you don't have to print anything first.

@snehatawari5829 2 года назад

@cinarynroll Год назад

@danielcarlile 2 года назад

Hi, Windy--I love your art! This is the brightest light table I've had. The problem I have is I can't get the pages to stick to each other while I'm tracing. I'm using 300 gsm watercolor paper like you, but even with the clip or smoothing out and taping the pages together, it seems like they bubble away from each other and even when I try to smooth out and hold down the area really close to where I'm working, there's always this little shift right when the nib touches down and the pages come back together. This always causes this distortion and disturbance right when I go to ink a line, ekkk!

@Vision.Target.Shoot1 2 года назад

how do you draw on it at angle? can you do that - like using a clipboard and can hold it to different angle to eyes? thanks

@cindyfoster4353 5 лет назад

Windy Iris Art Received my light pad today and it is wonderful , but it came with a round rubber ball and the metal clip you showed in your tutorial to hold your paper. There is no paperwork saying what this ball is? Anyone know ? Just figured it out thanks to Google! Apparently it’s a rubber puck that separates and its to raise your light box up on an angle!😄 Just in case someone else wonders what it is!
