  • 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!

  • Thanks- Not done a Camera Lucida yet, though I have conducted a few experiments...

  • 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....

  • Well done! Have you tried making a camera lucida as well?
