Dream of becoming a real artist?
Do you aspire to become a genuine artist?
Surprise your friends by becoming a skilled artist, just like that. 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 as you draw, watch your work-in-progress through your phone or tablet's camera.
The model will appear semi-transparent over your drawing, helping you trace the outlines. It's similar in principle to the camera lucida technique 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 way to work and learn.
WATCH THE VIDEO TO LEARN HOW TO USE IT. Low ratings often come from users who haven't understood the app's proper use.
Hint: On newer Samsung and LG phones without a menu button, long-press the task-switch button to access the menu.
