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.

Community Voice & Feedback
Once more a come on tease. Can’t use your own photos without a premium app. No way. So sick of these fake free apps. Suck on that sharks
As a painter I’ve wrestled with spending too much time with drawing out my scene and in some cases using a projector just to get the right perspective. Da Vinci Eye has reduced that time and given me option to blow up or reduce drawings within my canvas. It’s a magnificent tool for what I do. Highly recommended.. you have to take time to figure out the Technology part of it. But after that, it’s smooth sailing.
Very well thought out. So useful! 100% recommend.
I went to use it and what do you mean I have to pay to draw that’s insane!
I have used the app for many years and I continue to find it as the most helpful app I have for my artwork.
It helps me make sure I am getting proportions correct. I use both classic mode and AR mode depending on my mood and needs.
Bug fixes are taken care of quickly and I appreciate the quality all around this and the other apps made by them!

Can’t make a new anchor point and help website doesn’t work at all
YOU MUST PAY TO USE YOUR PHOTOS ITS NOT FREE
One thing.. it doesn’t focus on the background and leaves it blurry which makes it hard to draw .
Thoroughly enjoy this app. Its fantastic. I’ve been using it for a couple years on android, and now iOS. I recently needed help with something and they were generous and quick to respond. Highly recommend!
You have to have a subscription if you want to take ur own pictures and trace them butt other than that its great
Some issues with the anchor recognition and picture alignment. But great features like recording, breakdown and strobe.
Love the inspiration pictures and how it promotes real users art.
I have zero art skills but it’s helped me feel encouraged and create some things I’m actually really proud of.

I have tried a lot of apps that have a trial and subscription and I have to say this is number one for me. It’s straight forward what you get when you subscribe. They didn’t trick me into a subscription or make it useless if I didn’t subscribe. It’s easy to use and affordable. I love everything about the app and have used it as part of my arsenal for any of my art projects. Definitely a must have app.It’s like the Lucy and carbon paper in one)
I love DVE. I couldn’t be the artist I am without It.
I am struggling to figure out how to put together the swing arm for my phone. ( also same brand) . The directions are 0 help. So I can’t tell weather the app is good or a waste of money.
