Artist's Eye is a practical tool that assists you in drawing or painting with real pens or pencils on paper or canvas.
Simply select a model image (like a photo) and, while you draw, watch your artwork through your phone or tablet's camera.
The model image appears semi-transparent over your drawing, helping you trace outlines—much like the traditional camera lucida technique used for centuries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_lucida).
For best results, attach your phone to a stable support stand to keep it still, leaving both hands free.
This method isn't cheating; it's a fresh approach to creating and learning art.

Tip: On newer Samsung and LG phones without a menu button, access the menu by long-pressing the task-switch button.
