Love this app

“This app has been one of the best finds ever! It is so helpful for quickly getting correct proportions and outlines in place so I can move on to the parts of the artistic process I love most without sacrificing accuracy. Very easy to use and the one time I had a question about a feature on the app, I emailed for help and got an almost immediate response that was exactly what I needed. Highly recommend!”

Simple idea; fantastic product

“I’ve always enjoyed sketching and drawing but I’ve always struggled with proportion, especially on drawing figures and portraits. As a right handed person, I have a bias in my drawings where features tend to lean to the right. Davinci Eye has helped me correct these issues but also helped me gain confidence in my artwork. I would thoroughly recommend this app if you want to improve your accuracy or just learn to enjoy your art again”

I use this ALL the time

“I love this app. I’ve been using this app for quite a few years now and I will continue to use it! I am an artist and this app is really great for helping get proportions right. I like to use it to double check my sketches to make sure things are where they are supposed to be. Have recommended this app to friends and I will continue to do so!”

So helpful for amateur artists!

“I’m still learning how to sketch and paint. I save on so much of my time using this app to outfit my sketch. I could use that time for actual painting instead of worrying for hours about the proportions. Great tool to have.”

GET THIS APP

“More people should know about this app. Da Vinci Eye makes drawing and tracing so much easier, especially if you’re learning or want to improve accuracy. The AR tracing works smoothly, the interface is simple, and it genuinely helps you understand proportions instead of just copying blindly. Whether you’re a beginner or someone getting back into drawing, this app is worth downloading.”

Best app I’ve ever used.

“Decided to try this app and it’s the easiest drawing app. Very user friendly. Definitely helps you become a better artist. You can use your own photos to draw or choose anything from the internet. The possibilities are endless. Also has some nice practice pictures and you can share, learn and follow others. I also love that the creators of the app encourage you to reach out to them if you have any problems. This app gets a three thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻”

Genius

“Honestly the best arty app I think I’ve ever used. It usually takes me such a long time to figure out the proportions of my drawings (making it a frustrating process!) but this app is so useful with that. I just use it for the initial outline and then go from there by myself but honestly, this is such a game changer. Thank you thank you thank you for developing such a brilliant tool! I only wish it had been around when I was doing my A level art!”

Great app

“This is a great app for fun and serious drawers, I have been using the app for a while and find it helpful with my portraits for working out the face proportions. Landscape drawings are also fun.”

Best ever tracing

“This is a very neat program, it is easy to comprehend and use. I love it and It gives you the right proportions, helps to see shadows it’s such an asset and must have in painting.”

Magical app

“I saw this on YouTube and when I tried it, at first, I didn’t understand. I contacted Sam, the developer, who came back very quickly. When he explained that you use it by looking through the camera, I saw what he meant. Just me being thick. It is FANTASTIC. Really useful and my first drawing with it, came out really well. As Sam said to me, “Watch the videos; they explain how to use the app AND show you how to start a painting or drawing.” He has made me excited to draw everything. I went into the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull and found myself looking at paintings differently because I was looking for the light and shade and the background.”

This app is such a big help

“It’s really true that they are great at getting back to you on your questions! I had a little trouble setting this up but now that I have it figured out, I’m super pleased with it! It really helps me with perspective and getting the Basic pencil drawing correct. (Since I’m doing Watercolor I don’t mind a little help with the basics.) This really frees me up to try More adventurous drawings. Thanks da Vinci!”

Reviews about tools and workflow

Classic Mode, outlines, strobe, shadows, and the phone-as-viewfinder workflow come up in reviews from artists who use the app as part of their process.

★★★★★

Fantastic drawing app!

“I’ve spent years tracing the outlines of my drawings using my laptop screen in the dark or a light behind a bit of glass but always had to do the finer details afterwards because they were too hard to see. This app has solved this problem – no more dodgy proportions! It’s brilliant, really easy to use and I love the drawing challenges on there too!”

Awesome app

“I e haven’t drawn in a while. Gotten too busy with work and other things. I’m getting ready to start some projects now that things have slowed down. This app is amazing for laying down my foundation. I’m just not good at the measuring and the grid. It’s easy to use and I can finish the project from my phone. I don’t finish in the app, I lay out the outline then go to the picture and draw. I love looking at all the art posted on the app site. Thank you for this app.”

One of the best art tools

“Well, I did not like this app at first, I did not understand it. But now its one of the best art tools that I have. I do alot of free hand but this…. when drawing portrait, is amazing. Cannot do without it now. The tools, the strobe this is genius. Just have to figure out how to use it to do a wall?”
