What are they? These are specialized eyepieces with exceptional magnification. Seeing things up close allows me to be much more critical so I can achieve the best results possible. For example, try drawing a picture of something. Make sure you mark every little detail. After you draw it, pull out a magnifying glass and see how many changes you might make now that you see it up close. Well, that’s why I have my “lupes.” I may not look like Brad Pitt in them, but they get the job done!
