4.0 out of 5 stars Good Tool for Drawing Animation, November 26, 2004

By 

AnimatedAdventures.com (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Light Box 10" X 12"

Although some animators use much larger and more expensive light boxes to draw with, this simple desktop version is a cheaper and more manageable alternative. We use these in all of our Manga and Anime workshops. The box provides a nice even lit area (no "hot spots") and a slight tilt to the drawing surface to make it more like a drafting table and easier to see what you are doing. The built-in pencil slot is handy for holding a few frequently-used pencils or pens. The lightweight plastic body and small size make it about as portable as you can expect a lightbox to be. It could use a carrying handle, though!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for transfering drawing to fabric!, February 1, 2011

This review is from: Light Box 10" X 12"

I love my Light tracer! It produces nice bright light without being blinding to look at. The surface of the box does not get hot, so you can work with it for a long time.

I use it to transfer my drawings onto fabric for quilting and embroidery, and it works beautifully.

10" by 12" size does not limit me to that size artwork. It is easy to transfer larger drawing by doing them in pieces. I just shift both the drawing and the fabric, since it is so easy to see through fabric and drawing to re-align them once you move to the next section.

The light box is light and stores away neatly. The cardboard case that it came in is sturdy and has a handle. The box is easy to store it away and take it out when you need it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good consumer lightbox, July 9, 2008

This review is from: Light Box 10" X 12"

Good:
Is bright enough to shine through Bristol and one or two pages of guidelines
Is sturdy enough to put up with reasonable wear and tear
Is light and small enough to be used as part of a portable project kit.

Bad:
Case has a built in tilt that forces you to use it landscape or awkwardly prop the short end up to enable portrait orientation
Case is made out of a brittle plastic that raises concerns for transport - do not drop or squish it!
