I'd be the first to admit I'm not good at drawing! However, the C.O. gives a level of accuracy to perspective and foreshortening which is almost impossible to even a skilled artist. David Hockney has written an interesting book on the subject called 'Secret Knowledge'. Thanks for your comments!
definitely interesting take on the idea...but why not just learn to draw...seems overly complicated just to draw a simple picture. Learning perspective helps too. Just my thoughts....but i would love to obtain one...as there are makers on both sides of the pond now...and a variety of pricing. Keep inventing P.S. Myself...I just use my laptop and a pico projector...works even with my ipad 2....
