OVERVIEW

Ever spent hours sketching a portrait, only to discover that the nose or eye is misplaced? Use our AR art projector and tracing tool to layout artwork before you begin or check your work as you progress.

Struggling with light and shadow placement? Divide your image into color value layers and overlay them virtually to pinpoint the right spots for darks, mid-tones, and highlights.

LEARNING HOW TO DRAWING?

We have drawing tutorials and lessons using our unique patent-pending learning method. You can also turn ANY photo into a step by step shading drawing lesson with our AR tracing tool.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Based on a tool that has been used by artists for centuries, this app is a digital version of a Camera Lucida.

You suspend your device above or in front of your canvas with a stand, tall glass, or other objects easily found around your house.

When using your phone, you can view both the image and the canvas simultaneously, offering functionality akin to an art projector or light box, but with expanded capabilities.

You can sketch or draw on any surface, zoom in to draw micro details in your drawing, and you don't have to draw in the dark.

WILL THIS HELP ME LEARN HOW TO SKETCH & DRAW?

You'll be training your eye to recognize proportions, sketch and draw with shading, and refine your hand for precise lines and strokes on paper. Our proven techniques ensure quicker and more efficient learning compared to any other sketch and draw app.

AR TRACING MODE REQUIREMENTS

AR mode works best on new and high end devices. Your device must have a high quality camera, fast processor, and a fast enough GPU to handle rendering and updates.

AR & CLASSIC DRAWING MODE

AR tracing mode anchors your image to an object in the real world. This lets you move your canvas or phone, and the drawing and projected image will move back into place.

Classic mode is like a normal art projector, where if you move your phone or canvas, your sketch or drawing will no longer be aligned.

AR tracing mode is especially useful for sketching, drawing or painting on an easel. However, in most cases, Classic mode will achieve the same result.

TAKE YOUR DRAWING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Ratings and reviews

I like the app... Except... It quickly drains my phone battery and tends to make my phone overheat a little. The AR is hit or miss most days with it saying it can't find the anchor when it's clearly in sight. Other than that, it's great! I can arrange my subject perfectly in the areas I want, find the color value differences I might miss, and help get proportions right. There's tons of support and tutorials and lots of little features available. I hope to see it keep improving.

This is a really cool little ap. It is not something I will personally use. It lags a little moving the picture and there is a learning curve that once over it is very useful, but you need to invest in a stand. If you want to use the AP to it's potential you really need one. I am so happy to see a good art ap, I hope they keep updating this as it has the potential to help a lot of artist, be it they are new to art or a pro.

Works fine if you want to do small drawings, but couldn't even get it to see the full page of an 8x10 without the phone being too high to really work. Kind of sad that it makes it look easy to do larger drawings, but settings make it feel impossible to do so. Had my phone on a stack of cups, and it was so high that you can't even see the phone screen looking down on it to draw while sitting down at that point. Would be nice otherwise for small sketches, I suppose, not much else.
