Are you ready to become a real artist?
Do you dream of becoming a true artist?
Amaze your friends by becoming a skilled artist in no time. Unleash your creative potential.
Artist's Eye is a tool that helps you draw or paint with a real pen or pencil on paper or canvas.
Select a model picture (like a photo) and, while you draw, watch your progress through your phone or tablet's camera.
The model is displayed semi-transparently over your drawing, helping you trace the outlines. It works similarly to the camera lucida obscura used for centuries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lucida).
For best results, mount your phone on a stand so it stays steady, leaving both hands free to create.
This isn't cheating—it's a fresh approach to creating and learning.

Tip: On newer Samsung and LG phones without a menu button, hold the task-switch button to access the menu.
