Painting Mirror – Art Studio
Drawing & Illustration Tool
Free · In-App Purchases
See your work through a fresh eye. Mirror, Grayscale, Step Back, Blur & more — studio critique tools for painters, illustrators & artists.
Your eye stops reading the work when you're too close to it.
Painting Mirror gives you the same critical checks artists have
always used now instant, from your phone.
WHAT IT DOES
Point your camera at your painting, drawing, or illustration.
Switch modes to strip colour, flip the scene, blur detail away,
or zoom out for a whole-composition read. Catch problems before
they compound.
VIEWING MODES
Mirror Free
Flip the scene. Proportion errors read immediately.
Composition Free
Moveable crop frame with Rule of Thirds, Golden Ratio, and
Armature of the Rectangle guides.
Black Mirror Full Studio
Smoked-glass view. Judges tone and shape without colour
leading the eye.
Grayscale Full Studio
Strips colour. Read value structure directly and correct weak
passages before colour disguises them.
Step Back Full Studio
Shrinks the scene for a whole-painting read. Easier to judge
balance, rhythm, and focal weight from a distance.
Blur Full Studio
Removes surface detail. Check whether large masses and edges
still read strongly.
Critique Delay — Full Studio
Rests your eye before you judge. Return with a cleaner read.
STUDIO ASSISTANT
Capture studies from any mode and build a session archive on
your device. Pin a reference alongside the live view for direct
comparison. Flip or mirror captures for a second look.
