Easier tracing – with lens paper projection
Lens paper places the projected image over the drawing area so the picture becomes visible directly on the paper, allowing outlines to be traced by eye. Projection relies on aligning the source image with the lens surface to produce a visible guide.
Clear, visible outlines reduce time spent copying reference images and help beginners focus on proportion and line work.
Use images from phones and tablets – thanks to built-in mobile and tablet support
Support for mobile phones and tablets accepts images from those devices as the projection source, so photographs and digital sketches can be shown through the lens. No printed reference is required to start tracing.
Trace directly from on-screen photos or sketches, making it quicker to work from personal references or tutorial images.
Two projection styles – with a reversible trackpad surface
Trackpad has two sides, front and back, and the projection effect differs between them; manufacturer guidance advises using the front side for the recommended result. Flipping the trackpad alters how the image appears on the paper.
Choosing the front or back surface gives simple options for visual style, helping artists select the clearer outline for their project.
