How To Use It

The User Manual will teach you how everything works and how to use your LUCID-Art, but the concept is very simple. A transparent image is reflected over your drawing surface, you can adjust the size, position and intensity of that image.

Before you start drawing mark a few key places to use as references, so if you move your head or want to take a break you can easily line the image back up with those marks. As you trace the image check from time to time to see that your marks are lined up with the image.

Don't worry about getting everything. Leave out what you do not like and keeping what you want. Simply draw around the image until you have a good sketch. You can also mark where the shadows and highlights fall and anything else you think is important.

Then finish your drawing with traditional drawing or painting techniques. It takes a little practice, but it's as easy as it sounds.

For paintings you do not have to start with a pencil sketch, you can also paint right over the reflected image with oils, acrylics or water paints. You can use any medium you want: pencil, paint, pastels, charcoal, ink or almost anything else.
