Ready to become a true artist?

Surprise your friends by quickly developing excellent artistic skills. Unleash your creative potential.

Artist's Eye is a practical tool that helps you draw or paint using real pens, pencils, paper, or canvas.

Select a reference image (such as a photo) and watch your drawing or painting progress through your phone or tablet camera.

The reference image appears semi-transparent over your ongoing artwork, helping you outline contours. This works similarly to the camera lucida technique used for centuries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lucida).

For best results, mount your phone on a stable stand so it remains still while keeping both hands free.

This isn't cheating—it's a modern approach to creating and learning art.

WATCH THE VIDEO TUTORIAL TO LEARN HOW TO USE IT. Many low ratings come from users who haven't understood the app's proper use.

Tip: On newer Samsung and LG phones without a menu button, access the menu by long-pressing the task switching button.
