Want to become a real artist?
Ever dreamed of becoming a true artist?
Surprise your friends by becoming an excellent artist in no time. Unleash your creativity.
Artist's Eye is a utility that helps you draw or paint with a real pen or pencil on paper or canvas.
Choose a model picture (like a photo) and, while you draw, watch your work through your phone or tablet's camera.
The model will appear semi-transparent over your drawing, helping you outline contours. It works similarly to the camera lucida obscura used for hundreds of years ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lucida ).
For best results, attach your phone to a stand so it stays still and your hands are free.
This isn't cheating—it's a new way to work and learn.
WATCH THE VIDEO TO LEARN HOW TO USE IT. Reviews show low ratings often come from users who didn't understand the app's use.
Hint: On newer Samsung and LG phones without a menu button, access the menu by long-pressing the task-switching button.
