About Artist's Eye

Surprise your friends by becoming an excellent artist just like that. Unleash your creativity.
Artist's Eye is utility that helps you to draw or paint with real pen or pencil to paper or canvas.
Choose model picture (e.g. photo) and while you draw watch your drawing or painting 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. A bit same way as with camera lucida obscura already hundreds of years ago ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lucida ).
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.

Hint: On some new Samsung and LG phones that don't have menu button you can access menu by long pressing task switching button.

N70%
by N####:

But works OK. Still gets image errors when loading a photo and grid view on a smart phone is useless. Needs to have access to all the menu features in one general area.

C70%
by C####:

Great for drawing an outline and marking points. Can resize easily by moving the camera further from the drawing surface. Easy to use.

I have a new phone. Lg v10 looks like it works great on it. Awesome tool. : if you made this app so certain photos could be searched for that would be better. I just get all my pics then it stops loading. ....... At first I was doubtful but tried it and wow what a great tool. I do think a person who has at least basic sketching skills would get more from it than some one without.. But gve it a try with patients it might surprise you what you can do.

Works well. Thank you. For people that dont know... this is a digital camera lucida. Take a picture, and then view your drawing area on the display of your cam/ipad. You see both your drawing area and the image you took -- you can adjust the opacity of the digital overlay allowing for easy tracing. 4 feature requests please: -(High)LOCK THE IMAGE. when I am changing opacity, it is too easy to move the image -(Mid)Save Image settings... sometimes I will have the camera mounted and want to switch between 2 or 3 images and I would like to be able to restore, in particular, the skew setting but also zoom and position for an individual image. -(Low)Manual Camera focus -- auto doesnt always work so well -(Low)Auto adjust skew based on camera angle (if you wanted to be fancy :) ) thanks again for a great app.

It does exactly what its supposed to. I liked it and will keep on using it. A bit more functionality and flexibility would be nice, like being able to rotate the image so you can view it in portrait mode, and also so you can rotate the phone180 degrees so the phone can sit on the artist's left hand side instead of just the right. It would also be very handy if the zoom control was easier to get to and had more zoom. It is a handy app, I hope it keeps on improving.

I'll try this review again. I got this for my mother, the artist. She paints from photographs in her art class and doesn't do well with proportions in her work. This app works GREAT on my older tablet, but not on my Galaxy S4 phone. It's easy to figure out ways to support a phone (such as on a cardboard box on its side with a hole for the camera), but will take quite a bit of ingenuity, which is hard to come by in a "non-handy" family, for the tablet. Plus my tablet is really heavy for her to carry to and from class, along with all of her supplies. I can't get the app to recognize and import photos on the phone. It only "sees" 2 (identical) photos. I emailed the developer some time ago, but have yet to hear back. This actually rates 2 stars because of that. I really want to love this app, because when it works, it's terrific; otherwise it is a waste of space and $. Since my mother can't figure out a smartphone, she would be using one of my devices. I was even considering getting a no contract phone for her, just to use this app, but without any developer support, that's not going to happen.

This is a great straight forward app with no hassles. However, there is no version for the Amazon Fire version of Android. How about it?

Z70%
by Z####:

Absolutely the best drawing app, especially as it allows you to zoom in on small detail

C70%
by C####:

Just what I needed for thumbnailing digitally and going to paper for a nice tactile finish. Plus I get the power to refine my proportions on my phone, then draw at a large scale in my sketchbook.
