Artist's Eye Aid

Ever dreamed of surprising your friends by transforming into a skilled artist overnight? With the Artist's Eye utility, you can unleash your creativity and make that dream a reality. This innovative tool allows you to draw or paint directly onto paper or canvas using a real pen or pencil, guided by a semi-transparent model image on your phone or tablet's screen. Simply select a model picture, such as a photo, and as you draw, view your work through your device's camera. The model image overlays your drawing, helping you accurately trace the contours, similar to the centuries-old technique of the camera lucida (learn more at Wikipedia).

For the best experience, secure your phone to a support stand to keep it steady, freeing up both hands to focus on your art. This method is not cheating but a modern approach to learning and working on your artistic skills. Be sure to watch the tutorial video to understand how to use the app effectively. Note that some users who left low ratings did not fully grasp 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.
