Artist's Eye Aid

Ever dreamed of dazzling your friends with your artistic talents? With the Artist's Eye app, you can unleash your creativity and transform into a real artist in no time. This innovative tool allows you to draw or paint using a real pen or pencil on paper or canvas, guided by a semi-transparent model image displayed on your phone or tablet's camera view. It's like having a modern-day version of the centuries-old camera lucida obscura right at your fingertips (learn more about it here).

For the best experience, consider using a support stand to keep your device steady, freeing up both hands to focus on your artwork. This isn't just a shortcut; it's a revolutionary approach to learning and working on your art. Make sure to watch the tutorial video to understand how to use the app effectively. Reviews suggest that low ratings often come from users who haven't fully grasped the app's functionality.

A helpful tip: If you're using newer Samsung or LG phones without a menu button, you can access the menu by long-pressing the task-switching button.
