Aspiring to become a true artist?
Ready to unleash your inner artist?
Impress your friends by mastering drawing skills effortlessly. Unlock your creative potential.
Artist's Eye is a tool that assists you in drawing or painting with real pens or pencils on paper or canvas.
Select a reference image (such as a photo) and view your work-in-progress through your phone or tablet's camera as you draw.
The reference image appears semi-transparent over your drawing, helping you trace outlines—similar 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 to keep it steady and free both hands.
This isn't cheating—it's an innovative approach to creating and learning.
