Review on 🎨 The LUCY Drawing Tool: Revolutionizing Art with the Ultimate Versatile Camera Lucida by Tara Ford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good tool for those trying classic image generation techniques.

This is my first time buying a Lucia camera and I am pleased to report that the LUCY came well packaged with all the necessary parts . The instructions are a bit messy, but to be honest nobody needs them. Although the build quality is the cheap looking plastic that houses the mirrors, after some use I realized that it needs to be lightweight so it doesn't bend or wobble. So it's perfect for what it was designed for. The filters work well and improve various lighting conditions I've tested them in. The clamp is the only part that's a bit tight, but that should improve over time. To be honest, the arm is the best part because you can adjust the image position quickly and without much effort. The straight metal arm doesn't allow you to pinch different surfaces. Camera Lucia is not an easy tool to use and I can see that it is difficult to master, but it works well. I look forward to getting to grips with it. All in all, LUCY is a good, affordable set for an artist who wants to experiment with classic painting methods.
