Want to become a real artist? Surprise your friends by transforming into an excellent artist in no time. Unleash your creativity with the Artist's Eye, a utility that empowers you to draw or paint with real pen or pencil on paper or canvas. Simply choose a model picture, such as a photo, and as you draw, watch your work through your phone or tablet equipped with a camera. The model image appears semi-transparent over your drawing, guiding you to outline the contours effectively, similar to the centuries-old technique of camera lucida obscura (learn more at Wikipedia).
For the best results, secure your phone to a support stand to keep it steady, freeing up both your hands for drawing. This method isn't cheating; it's a modern approach to learning and working in art. To fully understand how to use the app, watch the instructional video. Reviews indicate that users who gave low ratings often misunderstood the app's functionality.
A helpful tip: On newer Samsung and LG phones without a menu button, you can access the menu by long-pressing the task switching button.
