REVIEWING: Optical image drawing board that helps you sketch better? 

I think this tool is very cool, Love this tool haaha

Thank you for the review. I saw some were complaining about the pencil hitting the glass (while trying to trace the image,) but didn’t seem like you had that issue 👍🏼 This would work for what I’m looking for. BTW, if you run those quick sketches through few filters, you’ll be surprised what you’ll see : ) Especially with a good pic edit app. You won’t have to paint or draw anything else 😁 And the work is all yours, technically (not counting the sketching part haha) The rest is on you, how creative you want to get with it. I personally create images from ANY picture (doesn’t matter what it is,) by running it through bunch of filters, which includes mirroring. The results are unreal. I just needed some way to draw out exactly what I see, for it to be clear, because apparently nobody else sees it (until it’s pointed out.) It’s all an “imagination” until you’re looking at it 🖼

Can it be used properly by left handed folks?

@@datoda3593 Yes of course ! Just reverse all the things : the phone on your right, the "glass" on its left, and the paper on the far left of the tool.

LOL. Tracing paper or a light box works much better. IMO.

Hahaha it took me a while to understand that part too 😂

Same here 😅😅😅

Is bad quality, works better as light table on a piece of glass

Same

Haha thank god, saved you from a bad purchase then 😄

This works better for notebooks.

I tried to do that but it didn't work very well... since the phone is touch-screen, the image keeps moving.

I wish. If you barely touch the screen w any part of your hand it moves the pic. If I have to blow something up to trace it, it gets SUPER irritating when it gets bigger or smaller every time you touch it. I have successfully traced Like this, but with TONS of headaches w the screen sensitivity

@anitasmith7764 there should be an app or something that you can lock the screen with, so the picture stays in place. Or you can get those drawing gloves. So your skin doesn’t touch the screen.

Yes but if your using super thick paper of canvases this way would be handy I do oil paint portraits and I can get them pretty accurate to people but it takes forever before I'm happy with the pencil proportions and stuff so I'm thinking of getting this to give me a head start

Move the paper to the left. Right? Adjust the paper.

I think i like my light board better! And I can see where my pencil point is with it! This here I can't find the pencil point 😥 it's like I'm dizzy or drunk or something when I look thru the plastic! Maybe I need to be drunk in order to use it! 😂😂

Same lol

It's not. I have it. You can't even see the pen through the lens. So it's like blind drawing, which defeats the purpose

It’s only about £3

@@nellychan4599so pi$$ed I bought it 😡😡 you can’t see ANYTHING THROUGH THE LENS…I even took off my glasses thinking it was the issue but NOPE 🙄 I rate it a -10 out of 10

yes it is, makes things so much easier!

Exactly!

@@AmiraKang Bless You Amira... Greetings from Bristol, UK

I was using my laptop to trace images. This is OK for single sheets of paper but I am trying to draw in my journal so that method doesnt work any more. The projector would be easier.

Also, trying to trace onto a paper 0laced directly over an image on a phone ot tablet does NOT work unless you can disable the touch screen

@@cmarie8099 Thank you! That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do lately, as it’s my ONLY option right now. I tried freezing the screen, in few ways, but it didn’t work. Google search didn’t help much with that. So for someone without a lap top, ipad and all that good stuff, and unless you know how to lock/freeze a photo, this little budget tool, will do it’s job. Eventually I’ll get one of those WACOM or CintiqPro devices 😁

@@creativ3vision And C Marie : perhaps it would work if you put a piece of glass or plexiglas on the top of the screen, I mean between the phone screen and the sheet of paper. The glass should prevent the touch screen to activate, don't you think ?

You’re welcome

thank you for the tip, good cheap alternative but the thing is, that it's not easy to draw on it since the picture keeps moving.

Thank you for watching

Hi Jacques, you have to look through the plastic window. It doesn’t reflect.

Yes of course there are better alternatives. This one is just budget proof and easy accessible.

I did for my art references since I haven’t found my style yet it’s most likely for ppl like me who screen shot everything and then take forever to sit down and sketch out the references that I refuse to delete from my phone 😂

Well since yours is better why are you watching this? No need for a review or tutorial.

Unfortunately I haven’t used it ever since lol
