This is a real drawing.
Made by drawing over what the LUCY reflects.

Place a photo, look through the LUCY, and your reference appears right on the paper. You draw what you already see — and end up with something you’re proud to frame.

How it works

Three steps to your first real drawing

1

Clamp & aim

Clamp the LUCY to any table or easel and point it at your photo, object, or scene.

2

Look through it

Your reference appears reflected onto the blank paper — sized and positioned exactly where you want.

3

Draw it, then make it yours

Draw over the image to lock proportions, then add your own shading and style. It helps you see. You still draw every single stroke yourself.

No skill. No app. No batteries.
Clarity, not talent

“I can’t draw” usually means “I can’t see proportion yet.” The LUCY hands you the seeing — so your hand can finally keep up.

Drawing starts with seeing. The hard part was never your hand — it was getting the proportions right. The LUCY solves exactly that, for every kind of artist.

Beginners

Skip the years of frustration and make something real on day one.

Hobbyists

Finish more pieces, faster — and actually enjoy the process.

Gifters

The “wow, I made this” gift for anyone who wishes they could draw.

Pros

Lock proportions in seconds and spend your time on the artistry.

“I have gone blind in my left eye over the last 2 years and this helps me so much to be able to transfer to my work surface, thank you for creating the Lucy tool!”

— Kathy Murray, LUCY customer

“I practise by drawing a portrait from a photo and then I use Lucy and draw over my painting to see where I have gone wrong... it tells me how to look at a photo and how to improve.”

— Behzad, LUCY customer

“It is a method. It is a time saver in a busy world... And you can learn from all of them.”

— Comoco, LUCY customer

Questions, answered

What people ask before they order

Isn’t this cheating?
Not at all — it’s the same kind of optical aid the Old Masters have long been associated with. Da Vinci, Vermeer, and Ingres are all linked to optical drawing aids (the camera lucida and camera obscura). Drawing over the reflected image helps you learn proportion and trains your eye; over time, many artists rely on it less and less. It’s a learning tool, not a shortcut around the real skill.
Do I need any drawing skill?
No prior skill is needed to get started — if you can hold a pencil and draw over a line, you can use the LUCY. Your results will naturally improve the more you practice. Results vary from person to person and with how much you practice.
What can I draw with it?
Anything you can place in front of it or display on a screen: photos, portraits, pets, landscapes, still-life objects, reference images, even other artwork. Use any medium — pencil, pen, charcoal, marker, or paint — on virtually any surface.
Which model should I get?
Most people go with the LUCY flex ($99) — it’s our most popular and most versatile, with a bigger image and four brightness levels for nearly any subject. Choose the LUCY mini ($69) if you want the budget option or work at smaller sizes. The LUCY pro ($275) is the largest and most stable, made for serious and professional work.
How fast is shipping?
Orders typically arrive in about 3–10 business days within the USA. You’ll get tracking as soon as your LUCY ships. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.
What’s the guarantee?
Every LUCY is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year warranty. If it’s not for you within 30 days, send it back for a refund. See our full return policy.
