FAQs About Light Boards for Tracing

What is a tracing light board?

A tracing light board is a flat, illuminated surface that helps you see designs through paper. It’s used for drawing, sewing, tattoo design, and crafts. The light shines evenly across the surface so you can trace outlines and details with ease. Artists and hobbyists love it for its precision and clarity.

How to trace on a light board?

Place your reference image on the board, then lay a blank sheet of paper over it. Turn on the light and adjust the brightness so the image shows clearly through the top sheet. Use a pencil or pen to trace the design. The even lighting helps you follow every line accurately without straining your eyes.

Are LED drawing boards good for tracing?

Yes, LED drawing boards are great for tracing. They provide bright, flicker-free light that makes details easy to see. LED lights also use less energy and last longer, so you can work comfortably for hours. Many models, like Caydo’s, let you adjust brightness for different paper types.

What to use instead of a lightbox?

If you don’t have a lightbox, you can use a bright window or a glass table with a light source underneath. These DIY options can work for quick tracing tasks, but they’re not as consistent or comfortable as a proper light board. A dedicated tracing board offers stable lighting and better eye protection.

Do professional artists use light boxes?

Absolutely. Professional artists, designers, tattooists, and illustrators often use light boxes for clean, accurate work. They help refine sketches, transfer designs, and maintain consistency between layers. A good light board saves time while improving precision and creativity.
