Product Description

NeoLucida Turns 10!

We’ve spent nearly a year redesigning the original prism NeoLucida from the ground up. The result is a NeoLucida fit for beginners but with integrated accessories to advance your drawing skills.

What’s New in the NeoLucida Plus? Redesigned Prism

The prism is completely redesigned to provide a compact but bright ghost image.

Aperture Control

Paddles vary the size of the eyepiece opening. Use them to dim light and to create more precise image alignments of ghost image and drawing. Sharp!

Integrated Shader

The integrated shader helps you control the amount of light on your subject. It’s like custom sunglasses for your NeoLucida!

It’s Ambidextrous

Easily switch the NeoLucida PLUS adjustable arm from left side to right side.

How Does it Work?

The NeoLucida is a modern reinterpretation of the 19th-century camera lucida, a forgotten optical drawing aid once used by artists, designers, scientists, and anyone who wanted to draw accurately from real life. When you look down into the eyepiece, you see a ghost image of your subject in front of you superimposed on your paper. You also see your hand and pencil so you can simply trace what you see!
