Collect references. Understand what makes them work.
TuYan Studio is an iPhone and iPad reference library and analysis workspace for illustrators, designers, and animators. Organize images and videos, bring them together on a reference board, and study composition, color, and motion timing.
ORGANIZE AND FIND YOUR REFERENCES
Import photos and videos from Photos or Files. Organize your library with tags, folders, and favorites. Include or exclude tags to narrow your search, or use quick tagging to tap images and add or remove a selected tag.
BUILD A REFERENCE BOARD
Arrange images, GIFs, and videos together. Zoom, pan, and automatically arrange your references to compare shapes, palettes, and movement. Set playback speed and looping for moving references.
STUDY COMPOSITION, COLOR, AND VALUE
Switch to grayscale or threshold views, or flip an image horizontally to study its shapes and value structure. Explore composition guides, warm and cool color distribution, color space comparisons, and visual balance. Explanations describe the principles, calculations, and limits behind the analysis tools.
EXPLORE ANIMATION FRAME BY FRAME
Inspect GIFs, APNGs, and videos one frame at a time. Adjust speed and looping, and use the animation stopwatch, metronome, and timeline to record the timing of different actions. Hide selected frames and save an edited copy.
KEEP YOUR OBSERVATIONS
Save study projects and research cards in the research workspace. Return to an image or sequence to continue comparing, taking notes, and building your own reference studies.
PREPARE ASSETS FOR YOUR WORKFLOW
Batch export and name files in folder order, adjust image compression, split images into equal tiles, and preview sprite sheets.
Use your library and analysis locally. Optional iCloud sync shares media and organization data between iPhone and iPad using the same Apple account while the app is open at the library. View materials by origin device or together. Sync requires internet and available iCloud storage. Manual backups remain available.
Supports Traditional Chinese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
Analysis provides evidence for observation, not a score of artistic quality.
