Artist's Eye Aid

Ready to become a true artist?
Ever dreamed of becoming a real artist?

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

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

Select a model picture (like a photograph) and, while you draw, observe your artwork through the camera of your phone or tablet.

The model image will appear semi-transparent over your drawing in progress, helping you trace the outlines. It works similarly to the centuries-old camera lucida technique (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lucida).

For best results, mount your phone on a stable stand so it remains fixed and both your hands are free.

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