A light pad is a great way of creating an outline image, professional artist Paul Hopkinson shares how to use one.
I was very kindly sent an LED Light Pad by Elice (https://amzn.to/36eUu54). In this video I share how to use a light pad, and I review the one that I received as I use it to draw out the outline image of a dog's eye. Producing an outline image in this way works very well for watercolor, as it enables me to get straight to the painting process. Whilst drawing an image freehand is my preferred method, the limitations on my time as a professional artist really prevent me from doing this too often.
