Artist's Eye Aid

Unleash your inner artist?

Unleash your inner artist?

Surprise your friends by mastering artistic 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 observe your drawing or painting through your phone or tablet's camera while you work.

The reference image will appear semi-transparent over your ongoing artwork, guiding you to trace outlines. This technique resembles the traditional camera lucida method used for centuries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lucida).

For optimal results, mount your phone on a stable stand to keep it stationary, freeing both hands for creating.

This isn't cheating—it's an innovative approach to artistic practice and skill development.

WATCH THE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO. Negative reviews often come from users who haven't learned proper usage.

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