Pencils are the most accurate tool to use when tracing with a projection box.
Tracing images is an easy way to create clean lines and clear drawings. Novice and experienced artists both can benefit from the use of a projection box. The projection box lights your image from below through a glass drawing surface, allowing you to effortlessly trace any picture.
Instructions
1. Pull the cord from the light socket through a hole in the bottom of the milk crate so that the light is in the bottom of the crate. Use the twist ties to fasten the cord to the bottom of the crate.
2. Cover the inside surfaces of the milk crate with cardboard to keep light from escaping the box. Tape the wax paper to cover the top of the crate.
3. Take out the back of the frame and any filler paper that may be in the frame. Leave the glass in the frame to use as a drawing surface and glue the photo frame to the top of the crate's rim.
4. Tape the image you are tracing onto the glass. Tape your tracing paper over the image.
5. Turn on the light and begin tracing.
