Turn any photo into art on real paper with Painter Eye — your AR art projector and portable tracing studio for iPhone and iPad.
HOW IT WORKS
Painter Eye works like an art projector, light box, and AR tracing tool in one. Open your reference, point your camera at paper or canvas, and see the image overlaid with accurate proportions. Prop your phone on a glass, tripod, or stack of books — then adjust size, rotation, and transparency with intuitive sliders at the bottom of the screen. Trace with pencil, pen, or brush on real surfaces, not only on the display.
FOUR CREATIVE MODES
• Camera — live-camera tracing: move and resize your reference while you draw
• AR — track an anchor image on a real object so your sketch stays aligned when you move the phone
• Board — sketch on a digital canvas with built-in brushes and tools
• Paint — color and finish your artwork
SKETCHING & TEMPLATES
Import photos from your library or explore stencils and categories inside the app. Apply filters, turn pictures into outlines, build compositions step by step, and transform portraits into expressive sketches. Painter Eye: Canvas Creator adds colors, drawing styles, and monochrome looks for both on-screen and on-paper workflows.
AI & MORE
Create line-ready references faster, browse templates, and go from idea to finished sketch in minutes — whether you love anime, portraits, or everyday subjects.
WHO IT'S FOR
Beginners learning proportions, hobbyists, students, and artists who want accurate tracing on real paper with their own photos — without expensive projector equipment.
Experience the joy of artistic expression where augmented reality and creativity meet.

Be warned that there is gonna be ads before you sketch or color or any of that but when you do it it helps so much to improve sketching or drawing I can’t stop squirming about how cute the drawings are or how cool the drawing are I just love this app I would defiantly recommend it if you’re looking to improve sketching drawing or any kind of art so I would say to make sure to at least check it out!
Could be better

It’s hart to use because I hate to hold it above the paper and if you don’t have anything to prop it up it’s a hard app to use. They should probably add a search bar and possibly more pictures. I haven’t even used the app because I can just turn my screen brightness up and it will show through the paper( easier than trying to find something that will hold the device above the paper). It would be useful on thicker stuff such as a canvas or card stock as the design wouldn’t be visible through it. I would assume it’s great otherwise and would recommend to people who are still learning new skills and practicing them and for young kids who want to draw things they can’t quite yet.
uhm.. YES

this is amazing! I saw this on an add and I tried it and it worked! Idrew a cute unicorn and it turned out awesome. I totally reccomend this for beginners, (like me lol) or maybe even professionals. Cuz you know what? Sometimes you just don’t know what to draw. But anyways, i will definitely use this app whenever i can. P.S: there is no ps. the only thing i can say is this app is amazing. here is some random emojis: 😅🌈😅🪑😃🌈😅🌈🥸😎🌈😎😎🖐️😎🌈😄🌈🥸😘✨🪑😄🖐️🌈🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️😅🌈😅🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
