Deluxe Kit, Black

I am fascinated by the equipment past artists used before photography. The fact this came from an American source could have been problematic. Amazon made this so simple to purchase. It was quick and I am learning how-to use it. Not there yet.

Bought as a Christmas gift for my artist daughter. She loved it!

My decades of drawing professionally gives me a certain fascility with drawing tools. I would not recommend an untrained draftsperson use the Neolucida because it makes hand-eye coordination difficult. Tracking the drawing tool is like following a ghost because it disappears with the slightest movement of breathing. Staying in the same position is required and so a small deviation of the head will result in the vanishing of the subject as well. Hard on the neck, too. The light must be exact in order to have an image of the subject. A small vase of flowers cannot be projected in whole. All in all the Neolucida is not worth purchasing, has poor instruction, hard on the eyes, bad for the neck, and a real brain drain.

This is an over priced price of junk. Flimsy plastic parts. The stableasation bar is wobbly junk. This is the biggest scam out there. Find a better option. They are out there and much cheaper.

it was difficult to scale to a different size. use would have been too limited. I am returning this item and looking for another solution.

I cannot get this to work the eye viewer keeps moving and throws everything off as I cannot see much of anything need to stand above and look directly down to see anything and that is difficult to not move if you bump into the viewer it moves and even so it is extremely hard to see what the pencil is doing and the image is very hard to see. I do not think this is for beginners I could draw the subject better with out using this device I wanted to use it for portraits which are difficult to capture a face accurately I wish it worked better can I still return this???
