Drawing apparatus and method for controlling drawing by drawing apparatus

Abstract

The invention relates to a drawing apparatus and a method for controlling drawing by the drawing apparatus. The drawing apparatus includes a drawing head on which at least one drawing tool is mounted, the drawing tool applying a drawing on a drawing subject; an imaging unit which acquires a subject image by imaging the drawing subject; and an illumination device comprising at least one light source configured to radiate light on an area of the drawing subject where the drawing is applied; wherein the drawing tool includes a first drawing tool that applies the drawing by using a first type ink which is a colorless ink or a specific color ink which has substantially the same color as the drawing subject, and a second drawing tool that applies the drawing by using a second type ink which is not the colorless ink and not the specific color ink; and in a case where the drawing on a first drawn area of the drawing subject is applied by the first drawing tool, the imaging unit acquires the subject image by imaging the first drawn area where the light radiated from the light source is specularly reflected.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a drawing device and a drawing control method of the drawing device. Background technique [0002] In the past, a nail printing device for printing a favorite nail design on human finger nails is known. Such a nail printing device is described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2003-534083, for example. [0003] If you use this device, you can enjoy nail printing easily without using a nail salon or the like. [0004] As such a nail printing device, a drawing device using a drawing method equipped with a drawing tool (pen) that directly contacts the surface of the drawing object to draw is also studied. [0005] In the case of a drawing device using a drawing method as a nail printing device, inks including pigments (colorants) with large particle diameters, metal wires, and high viscosity inks can be used, which is not easy to use in the case of the inkjet method Of various inks. [0006] Therefore, in the case of a drawing...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it is difficult to accurately detect the position of graphics drawn on paper using these inks, and it is difficult to accurately detect deviations in the drawing positions of pens using these inks.

[0011] Therefore, sometimes drawing is performed without noticing that the drawing position of the pen is shifted, so that, for example, the skin may be partially drawn beyond the nails, etc.
