Application Description

Ever dreamt of becoming a true artist?

Ready to unlock your inner artist?

Amaze your friends by transforming into a skilled artist effortlessly. Unleash your creative potential.

Artist's Eye is a practical tool that assists you in drawing or painting with real pens or pencils on paper or canvas.

Select a reference image (like a photograph) and view your work-in-progress through your phone or tablet camera as you draw.

The reference image appears semi-transparent over your current drawing, helping you trace outlines—similar to traditional camera lucida techniques used for centuries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lucida).

For best results, mount your phone on a stable stand to keep it stationary while keeping both hands free.

This isn't cheating—it's an innovative method for creating and learning.

SEE THE DEMONSTRATION VIDEO FOR PROPER USE. Note that lower ratings often come from users who haven't learned the correct usage.

Tip: On newer Samsung and LG devices without menu buttons, access the menu by long-pressing the task-switch button.
