Camera obscura is a technique used to cast a shadow of something like that we can trace it. The word itself comes from greek, meaning light drawing. The method involves using a dark room and a little hole that allows for a minimum of light to come in like that we can see a shadow of whatever is on the other side of the room. For the most part the shadow will be upside down but you can modify the technique to where you use a mirror and make come up straight. This made it easy for artists to trace the outline of literally anything they want because even it was really out of proportion they could use a device which would trace an exact copy of the image in a smaller size by the use of levers.
