I have been needing a better solution for tracing for lettering practice and so in doing research I learned that there are light up tracing pads in addition to the typical light box I was picturing. They are less expensive and potable. I knew this was the way I wanted to go since I move my creative space all the time. I then learned the Crayola has a tracing pad that many professional artists recommended as a viable solution. I decided to try it out and ordered one on Amazon for $23.
