Want to become a real artist?
Surprise your friends by becoming an excellent artist in no time. Unleash your creativity with Artist's Eye, a utility that helps you draw or paint with a real pen or pencil on paper or canvas.
Choose a model picture, such as a photo, and as you draw, view your work through your phone or tablet, which needs to have a camera. The model will appear semi-transparent over your drawing, aiding you in outlining the contours, similar to the centuries-old technique of using a camera lucida (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lucida).
For the best experience, attach your phone to a support stand to keep it steady, freeing up both hands for your art. This method isn't cheating; it's a modern way to work and learn.
