The DRAWSCOPE ...
Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2023 1:32 pm
Well, I was following idea of introducing *Camera Lucida thing to my drawing routine, to easy off process of transferring outlines to the paper and encouraging the free hand routine, instead of using today's digital app technologies...
I've found few items recently being manufactured like NeoLucida in USA, or Draw Lucy being made in France.
I prefer the latter, as I saw comparison on YouTube,
and I think it's cheaper and better designed.
Regardless of the above, I've been intrigued seeing something similar, yet different!
The DrawScope.
It's engaging the brain to connect the picture by both eyes, even though each eye is separated by this optic tool...
To be honest I am not sure if it'll help me regarding my reference transfers on the paper (description says it will) but it amazes me so much, just by the way it works!
I'm a big fan of free hand sketching, and this tool can help me check and correct proportion, and yet supporting free hand skills.
I'm not sure if you dear Linda can see any benefits of having it, but I'm keep thinking of advantage it may provide your students when practicing drawing at your class lessons?
Anyway I couldn't stop myself to place the order...
โ There's a nice review made by an oil painting artist Florent Farges [url] https://youtu.be/saW9GjfyM3g?si=NDIzzZnAuDYXmEX8, and few less professional reviews if you just would like to put "DrawScope" to the YT search engine.
I hope you may find it interesting, at least to be aware such tool exists?
You see, I have had no clue about it until just yesterday!?
Therefore I felt the tension to share it, because this simplistic optic tool is very unique, and it's taking me back to old masters times, where they were using whatever was possible to support their artwork - in most cases just mirror reflections, and based on it tools
