Why is the perspective of inanimate objects ‘off’ on the reviewers images?
If drawing from a photo, then lines should be straight. Hmmm…

Great addition to the DrawLucy ensemble. It would be great to see this in the "pro bundle" because it wasn't there thus causing a separate order, taxes, and shipping.
Becky P.
This is a great tool! I can’t even draw and look what I did!
Justine F.
The Lucy has a bit of a learning curve. I am still struggling with reflections and getting the light situated, have had good results. My sketching skills are a bit rusty, but the Lucy is proving helpful in creating a rough sketch.
Norman
I feel like Picasso when I use your product, Lol, awesome product
Marianne G.
doesn't work. The images are too blurry, no matter how much I try.
Martha M.
The first picture is incomplete, I'm still working on it.
I think it's a fabulous tool, that has helped me greatly, with my many requests to do portraits of pets.
Adis
Would like to return it please.
Doesn’t work at all.
Mark B.
great little tool for transferring pictures of my Grand kids into art.
John
Great product fun to use
Leigh
Good keeping everything together nice quality
Lionel C.
excellent product; 'nuff said
Ronald C.
I do Woodcarving and it helped putting patterns on wood
Anita
Difficult to use sometimes and the pieces are not easy to assemble
Robin D.
I do not know what to do with the bag. No instructions. It is not like film bag for cameras. So far, I only use it for the Lucy accessories.

I’m starting to get the hang of using LUCY with the extender. It does help with taking a photo image, and laying it out on your chosen media. Still have lots of practicing to do. Thanks
Ellen M.
I enjoy my Lucy drawing tool. It helps me sooo much when I am watercolor painting! It is new to me so I have many more days ahead to use it!
Jennie G.
I used the photo enlarger to quickly sketch this portrait of a lady playing the piano. Took me about 5 minutes to get the outline. Really helpful tool! It takes a bit of practice to get used to it. But it does work!
Daniel V.
I'm having a hard time getting the right combination of filters and light to be able to actually see clearly what's on the 4x6 reference photo and still be able to see the tip of my pencil. I'm going to keep working at it till I figure it out.
Glenda
A birthday gift for my husband and he loves it
Thank you for your promptness in shipping.
Lesa H.
I absolutely love it. It is very easy to learn, use, and store. I got the magnifying tool which included a bag that is large enough for the whole Luci and accessories. I got it for Christmas and it was the best present ever.
Eric B.
This was a good add on. No my daughter cam pack it all up can tote it around
Dean w.
Sorry but overall for me I'd have to say so so. The whole setup is quite pricey and doesn’t really work for me. I use a projector that works a lot better for my talents. Can’t get very big traces. Kinda good for still lifes. I have the pro version.
James H.
Yep it’s a bag holds the aprati.. would prefer a foam case.. Lookong for one that fits on Amazon ..
Nydia
It's difficult to tighten everything together because it appears to not be threaded correctly. The section that should hold the photo just swings around since it's not possible to tighten. The bag seems unnecessarily large since the Lucy came with a bag.

The Lucy will take a lot of practice to get used to, but the photo enlarger is a must. I’m not sure I love it enough, or see the usefulness of it enough to justify the cost, but I will have fun playing with it.
John R.
I was astounded with how easy the Lucy Flex and the Photo enlarger was to setup and use. I really was skeptical that it would work; but it works great!!
What a wonderful tool to have. I am so glad that I gave it a try. Thank you for making this available. Great job!!
glenn m.
I work from reference photos because I just don't have the free time to paint plein air. This was a commission to paint a house portrait from a photo supplied to me. I probably could have cobbled together something to hold the photo, but the holder makes it alot easier. The photo holder is definitely a must. I am still getting used to the LUCY MINI but I am getting more proficient. In hindsight I wish I would have purchased the Lucy Flex. I think It would be more versitile.
Valerie E.
I am glad I bought this accessory, though I am finding I can use a tablet to display what I need to draw. This is a sketch that took maybe 2 minutes using the Lucy. It saves so much time.
John R.
The flexable shaft that mounts the head is not stiff enough. I have to have an additional support when I put the lecu head down low with the shaft having a big bend in it.
Dave B.
So I’ve loved to draw since I was a kid and had been taught the grid method as well as the use of dividers for proper proportions and scale. The Lucy is sooo much faster. It makes the initial layout and composition easier so that I can get down to the business of making sketches that I’m really proud of. For the beginner or an old guy like me, I love Lucy.
Linda
Perfect helps to draw the things I find hard. Very happy
Molly M.
It's possibly user error, but we are having a hard time finding a balance for the light. Either we can't see the hand and pencil, or we can't see the item we want to draw. It's a really cool concept, but my 7 year old doesn't have the patience of an adult to hone his use of this. We'll try again in a few months!
Neil B.
Lots of old family photos that have been so fun to draw! Thank you.
Shaun T.
Pockets fit everything perfectly. Able to take it on the go!
Melinda M.
I am disappointed. It is absolutely essential to have a bright light on your subject. If it isn't well lit, it's next to impossible to use the device. But the light has to be positioned almost in front of the viewer to get all aspects of the image lit. That's cumbersome. For the price, it should have included a light ON the device. The viewer is awkward. Would have been better to have something like a viewmaster to look through. and if you don't complete the entire drawing at one time, it is next to impossible to line everything up again if you stop and return to it. I was expecting much better.
Susan F.
Used the Lucy to do a portrait of a friends dog… loved it!
David G.
I have tried several times to get this to function properly. If you draw the image you see following all the instructions, it will be distorted. I am sorry I spent the money on this.
Frans d.
I love Lucy it made myoll painthing
Lynne
Perfect storage for the Lucy
CHARLES C C.
I probably need to use it more...... but so far I find that the image I get on the drawing pad is too small, I am taking it off of my laptop screen (macbook pro 16"). and I have a hard time figuring out where the pencil is.... it seems like a great idea...... but not just quite right..... but I have only used it a couple of times.... so. ????? I would like the image to be bigger and to see where my pencil is.
Linda R.
I wear glasses which seemed to be part of the issue and could not adjust the drawing tool such that I could see where my hand was positioned and the line I drew with my pencil, only the object I wanted to draw. It did not work for me so I returned it within the 30-day window and am waiting for my refund.
As for the Lucy drawing tool instructions, the point of access I was directed to had nothing in order, even some YouTube videos that were unrelated. I was able to find the instructions for drawing with the tool after a bit of effort.
I did not see the watercolor class which was to have come in a separate email and never accessed that/returned it as well :(
Steve H.
Enlarging a small 2x3 picture to an 8x10 is so easy with the enlargement attachment.
Edwin Y.
I like the polyester bag to contain LucyDraw tool. Wish it is larger. It does the job to keep the instrument protected and clean.
Michael R.
I do pyrographic art and used the Lucy tool to sketch onto wood and then I burn the image onto the wood.
It makes my art life a lot easier, happy customer I am
Brenda W.
easy to use allowing me to make very small photos into
a size that can be used to create art.
Carolyn G.
Finally figured out how to use the photo enlarger to my advantage! I print out a small version of the reference photo to put on the enlarger, then sketch it out. Then I use a larger version of the reference photo for colors, shading, etc. Now I've got 8 panels ready and waiting for paint!
Rosemary M.
I love my Lucy! I've taken up watercolor painting and using my Lucy has been a game changer; you can see from the photo that I've been productive! I watched the videos when I first received my product and was able to use the Lucy right away. All the paintings in the atttached photo have been done using my Lucy.
Marlene
It a great projector
Ron W.
Love the new Lucy photo copier. This pic doesn't do the painting justice. I printed a 4x6 pic and copied it to a 12x16 canvas. It took a whole afternoon and part of the next morning to get the likeness the way I wanted. I'm very happy with the result. I no longer need large format prints, tracing paper, carbon paper, and a stylist to transfer photos to canvas. Lucy makes it simple.
Jeffery S.
I have drawn and wood burn self taught for years and this tool made getting the right perspective and outline easier than free handing the drawing and I added all the detail. Great tool for wood burning projects!
Patricia
It is made well and very easy to use.
Desiree L.
I love the lucy drawing tool! I used a photograph to trace the image on a large piece of water color paper. I did this to watercolor the image. It's really simple to use once I got the hang of it
Jocelyn B.
The enlarger comes in handy for larger projects.
Brian W.
With the lucy I am able to make my initial tracing onto wood for my woodburns much faster and with more detail than ever before, therefore increasing both speed and quality of my work that I sell at wheeliewoodcraft.com!
Sidney
It's hard to use it doesn't work
Dorothy M.
I am 73 years old and have been trying to learn to draw from pictures. It had not been working until I tried the Lucy Photo Enlarger. It is still a work in progress but I am learning. I like the bag so I can carry it to my painting and drawing classes for additional help from my teachers.
LINDA G.
I received the Lucy as a Christmas present. I have not had the opportunity to really use it yet but I played with it a little and still getting the hang of it. Since I first saw them, I wanted one. This is going to be a name changer in my drawings and watercolors!
Christopher s.
This is great for allowing you to put a picture on you're lucy and view it with a lens and works amazingly. The bag is also great and allows for easy travel. I personally have my lens' in a protective case I then carry in the bag as I don't want them breaking. thank you again for helping inspire me to use my creation energy for a good purpose. - Xorplon
Mark
Love it, but it requires patience to start
Christopher
This has exceded my expectations. Great amazing product.
KAREN
Gift recipients loved this!!
Andrew F.
The bag for the Lucy is great. Keeps all the part safe and secure
Kim-Loun L.
The carrying bag was very durable and fit many other art materials other than Lucy.
Robert Z.
It got here fast helps alot with my drawings
kiran m.
Flex and enlarger are
Timothy G.
The bag is top notch! Well constructed. Accommodates the Lucy Drawing Tool very nicely.
The photo enlarger is also well built. I used it to enlarge the photo I drew. It worked perfectly! I recommend getting this add on when you buy the Lucy!
Jody
Can't get it attached right to use. More difficult than I thought
Karen A.
It’s so much fun, even for a artist like myself. Much easier to just dream while you draw rather than take your time to do it yourself!
Dr
Same as the other. Still at the LA depot since Oct 4. When will it be delivered? Not good enough
Jeff
Its good but I have an app that does a better job and was less expensive.
Milagros Z.
The piece isn’t
Finished yet but I used the Lucy to transfer the dogs on the canvas. Made getting the proportions right much easier.
Ann W.
Love my Lucy, it made getting the initial sketch down fast so I could then get the colours down. It saves time doing the outlines.
Susan W.
The enlarger is the primary reason that I bought the Lucy. I am getting the hang of it. It is much better than trying to trace an enlarged photo in a vertical position.
May C.
Good day,
I have to say this is the best investment I ever placed. Wow, this really made a difference. I save a lot of time drawing and my drawings are a lot better. The proportions are accurate. No more drawing in the dark for me. The little booklet and the videos were very helpful and clear. Excellent service without speaking with anyone. I would recommend this tool to everyone that wants to learn how to draw or even just to make your sketch prior to painting your subject. Love it. Thank you for making this tool.
Regards,
May
William S.
Very easy to use and quality piece of equipment! Looking forward to using on more wildlife paintings!
Kendra C.
I received my Lucy Mini BUT there was no manual included! I understand that you have videos on line but I am a reading learner and would appreciate physical papers to read and re-read. Please send me the manual so I can begin learning how to use my Lucy. Thank you.
John B.
I love the ability to work with a photo, takes a little time but saves time.
Chris J.
Love the simplicity of Lucy because I am not mechanically inclined. Still toying with it and am seeing improvement every time I use it.
Gary H.
As someone who loves to draw and paint, this has speeded up the process immensely. No longer do I need rulers, grids, or math. I can simply sketch quickly and get to painting. My sketches are accurate and proportioned properly. A great tool!
Al B.
Awesome!!! Really helps to draw something or anything you want. The good part, you can draw way above your pay grade. Really love it. I tell everyone about LUCIDArt.
Shelia G.
It's fun and simple....I do have trouble with the lighting.....I'm glad I ordered it.....I would recommend it.
Daniel M.
Works as advertised.
Faye K.
Great value and a time saver . Works great . Takes a while to get used to it but overall great buy.
Michele M.
It does take a little getting used to but is very effective for producing good sketches. It does work very well.
Timothy F.
The photo inlarger is great for recreting old family photos. Any photo bigger than a 5 by 7 inches this item doesn't really work great for but those classic candid family photos from years ago work great. The bag is nice and supplies many pockets for the different accessories. Over all it is a good add on piece.
