OVERVIEW

How many times have you been drawing a portrait for hours only to realize that the nose or the eye is in the wrong place? You can use Da Vinci Eye to layout artwork before you begin or even check your work as you progress.

Having a hard time seeing where lights or darks go? Breakdown images into layers by color value. Then virtually project those layers on top of your image. You can see exactly where to place the darkest darks, mid-tones, and highlights.

CAN'T THINK OF WHAT TO DRAW?

Check out our inspiration section for user uploaded reference photos. If you have a great pic, you can even upload your own content for other artists to draw.

LEARNING HOW TO DRAW?

We have lessons using our unique patent-pending learning method. You can also turn ANY photo into a step by step shading drawing lesson.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Based on a tool that has been used by artists for centuries, this app is a digital version of a Camera Lucida.

You suspend your iPhone or iPad above or in front of your canvas with a stand, tall glass, or other objects easily found around your house.

When you look through your phone, you will see both the image and the canvas simultaneously. It's similar in functionality to an art projector or light box, but with the ability to do so much more.

You can draw on any surface, zoom in to draw micro details in your drawing, and you don't have to draw in the dark.

WILL THIS HELP ME LEARN HOW TO DRAW?

Using Da Vinci Eye, you will be training your eye to recognize proportions and draw with shading while training your hand to translate precise lines and strokes on paper. You’ll learn faster and more efficiently using our proven techniques compared to any other app.

AR MODE REQUIREMENTS

To use AR mode, you must have an A10x or A11 processor and above. We recommend using:

– iPhone 8 and newer (iPhone 7 and below will not work)
– iPad Mini 5th Generation and newer
– iPad Air 2019 and newer
– iPad Pro 3rd Gen (Any pro made after 2018) and newer

AR & CLASSIC MODE

AR mode anchors your image to an object in the real world. This lets you move your canvas or phone, and the drawing and projected image will stay aligned.

Classic mode is like a normal art projector, where if you move your phone or canvas, the drawing will no longer be aligned.

AR mode is especially useful for drawing or painting on an easel. However, in most cases, Classic mode will achieve the same result.

Literally the best and my most favourite app going!!

I am a live painter. As an artist who paints live I need to work quickly! I love drawing I have since a child! But when I’m doing live painting I often don’t know what I’m doing until the day before or on the day! This app has made my job so much quicker and efficient! I love to draw, but now I can crack a drawing out in minutes! Instead of hours! I don’t have to line things up!

I love that fact it helps so much with up scaling in terms of big projects! I don’t loose the scale! And again I can get it drawn up in half the time! I would highly recommend this app if you have a super busy schedule! It’s so easy to use! The staff are super helpful if you need assistance with the app.

I use this in partnership with zoom too! Helps me do much bigger pieces! Such a brilliant tool! I can’t bang on enough about it. The helpful videos and community that’s available is seriously helpful and appreciated! Just go play and find out for yourself! You won’t regret it!

Great - now that I know how to use it!

Previously posted a review with 2 stars because I couldn’t figure out how to zoom out so I could see my whole page / marked off area. Developer reached out almost immediately and talked me through the functionality. And now I can honestly say this app is amazing. Makes it super easy for me to figure out layout and proportion in my sketchbook journal. Especially now I know how to see the whole page or a bigger part of the whole! There is probably a whole lot more I don’t know about but for right now I am really chuffed with classic mode. Going to be honest: the most satisfying thing about using this app vs the other one I have been using is the fact that I can continue listening to my audiobook while drawing because this doesn’t shut down my audio when I start a new drawing! Thanks to the devs for helping me out. Clearly I am now internet reading nanna and am easily confused by non very obvious things!

Developer Response ,

Hey there! You can zoom in and out to focus on details as shown in the instructional video, you can also change the camera to be .5, 1, and 2x. I highly reccomend checking out that super quick instructional video of how to use the app as all of this is explained in there. Also, we have extremely fast customer service and usually respond right away for additional questions you might have. Feel free to shoot me an email info@davincieyeapp.com or use the contact button in the app. Update: It looks like we got this all sorted out!

Great app

Honestly I didn’t know what to expect from this app and was unsure on committing to purchasing it before trying it out, however I gave it ago and I was so impressed by it. As someone who hasn’t been doing art for long, I found that this app has really helped me with accurately sketching out the positions of what I’m drawing for me to then do it in more detail. I think it’s a great app, some features aren’t compatible with my phone(iPhone 7) but the classic feature works just fine and gets the job done. I think even if you’re unsure on purchasing, it’s worth giving it ago. I do think the app could maybe have a short trial period or something like that before committing to the £4.99 however I think iseen as it’s not a subscription only a 1 time purchase it definitely is worth the money. Would highly recommend!!
