Artist's Eye application

Unleash your creativity with Artist's Eye drawing aid application. Artist's Eye is utility that helps you to draw or paint with real pen or pencil to paper or canvas. It can be applied in any kind of visual arts including drawing, painting and wood engraving.

Choose model picture (e.g. photo) and while you draw watch your drawing through the phone or tablet (that need to have camera). Model will be shown semi-transparent on the top of your ongoing drawing helping you to outline the contours. It is best if you can attach phone to some kind of support stand so that it stays still and both hands are free. This is not cheating but a new way of working and learning as well.

Free trial version for Android phones and tablets is available from Google Play.
