Crayola Light Up Tracing Pad – Teach Yourself to Draw
No, I didn’t say I used to use onions to trace pictures as a kid! I said I used onion skin paper when I was your age. It’s lightweight and see through which makes tracing fairly easy. I know how much you like to draw, and I can’t wait for you to try the Crayola Light-Up Tracing Pad Grandma mailed to you.
A tracing pad (also known as a light pad or lightbox) is an essential tool for animators. Using a lightbox is not considered “cheating” and instead helps a budding artist capture complex forms from nature or pictures. Learning to translate complex shapes your eyes see to the medium is the most essential skill an artist can improve.
Bring out your inner DaVinci with the Crayola Light-Up Tracing Pad!
When you think of Crayola, your memories of childhood probably surface. Who didn’t enjoy finding the biggest box of colored crayons imaginable? Every unique color opened up a new world of creative possibilities. In addition to crayons, Crayola now offers STEM science kits, paint sets, activity sets, paw print keepsakes, brushes, paint sticks, colored pencils, markers and much much more.
This Crayola Light-Up Tracing pad illuminates with LED eye-soft technology. The way this works is that when low light conditions are sensed, the LEDs will automatically change to a soft amber glow. This creates a softer light for your eyes and reduces the glare from the screen. As technology continues to advance and we rely on screens more and more, anything to assist in reducing eye strain is a benefit.
The ultra thin Crayola Light-Up Tracing Pad includes a 3-mode switch for on, off, and auto. There are also 20 tracing paper sheets, 12 short colored pencils, and 1 number two pencil included in the package. The tracing images attach to the screen to keep it from moving.
Additional tracing images are available for a free download online. This tracing pad perfectly fits a standard size paper and images of 8.5″ x 11″. Please note, you may trace images of any size as long as the LED light is visible when placed on the screen. Customers have used pages from coloring books. Adults say it works well for tracing quilting templates or other craft projects.
