Unleash your inner artist! Transform your creative vision into reality with Artist's Eye. This innovative app lets you draw or paint using traditional tools – pen, pencil, paper, or canvas – while viewing your reference image (photo) semi-transparently on your phone or tablet screen. This overlay technique, similar to the historical camera lucida, guides your hand and helps you perfect outlines.

For optimal results, use a stand to keep your device steady, freeing both hands for drawing. This isn't cheating; it's a revolutionary learning and working method.

Watch the instructional video for a clear understanding of its functionality. Note: Low ratings often stem from user misunderstanding. For Samsung and LG phones lacking a menu button, access the menu via a long press on the task switching button.

Artist's Eye has earned prestigious awards:

• Honorable Mention, Most Innovative App, Best App Ever Awards 2013 (Archived Link)
• Second Place, Best Art App, Best App Ever Awards 2014 (Link)
