Artist's Eye Aid

Want to become a real artist?

Surprise your friends by becoming an excellent artist in no time. Unleash your creativity with the Artist's Eye utility, a tool that helps you draw or paint with a real pen or pencil on paper or canvas.

Here's how it works: Choose a model picture, such as a photo, and as you draw, watch your artwork through your phone or tablet, which needs to have a camera. The model image will appear semi-transparent over your drawing, guiding you to outline the contours effectively. This method is reminiscent of the centuries-old camera lucida obscura technique (see more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lucida).

For the best results, it's recommended to attach your phone to a support stand to keep it steady, freeing up both hands for your artistic work. This isn't cheating; it's a modern way to work and learn.

Be sure to [WATCH THE VIDEO]([insert video link here]) to understand how to use the app effectively. Reviews indicate that users who give low ratings often haven't fully grasped the app's functionality.

Hint: On newer Samsung and LG phones without a menu button, you can access the menu by long-pressing the task-switching button.
