Yes, this app will help you draw like a pro!

Whether youre drawing on paper with a pencil, or cookies with royal icing, Camera Lucida will help you become a better artist.

Be sure to read the reviews and the functionality you get with Camera Lucida! There are lots of competitors, but no other app comes anywhere close to matching the functionality you get with 12 years of software development and refinement!

Unlike hundreds of apps that enable you to create digital art, Camera Lucida instead enables you to create amazing physical art! Our app works by having your iPhone or iPads camera pointed at your drawing surface. By watching your screen as you draw, you will be able to to see your reference image superimposed with your drawing - guiding your hand as little or as much as you want while you create your art. Better than a projector, easier to use than an expensive camera lucida, and more versatile than a light table, Camera Lucida has been fine-tuned for over a decade to provide artists with the features they need to be accurate and creative.

For over a century, artists have made use of the camera lucida optical device to superimpose a live view of their subject onto their drawing or painting surface. Allowing the artist to trace what they see in front of them, the camera lucida is an invaluable aid in creating a lifelike and realistic drawing. Truly a camera lucida for the 21st century!

With our Camera Lucida iPhone/iPad application, artists and non-artists alike can now draw anything they have a photo of. When looking at your screen, youll be able to simultaneously see the image you want to draw as well as your drawing surface as you create your work of art. Camera Lucida isn’t a projector, instead the app shows you a virtual image and you draw by watching your paper and hand on the screen as you draw! It’s really clever and cool!

With over 12 years of continuous development, Camera Lucidas functionality eclipses the competition. Check out these features:
- Advanced image filters to help you see with an artists eye.
- Multi-device support to enable you to stream live video of your drawing to a second device. *Requires iOS 10.3 or higher to receive hosted video. Also, newer devices are recommended due to the processing requirements.*
- Support for saving and restoring sessions, including automatically realigning your camera, sketch and reference image.
- Full color palette control, including using your own paints, markers, etc.
- Use any camera on your device and adjust for tilted and mirrored setups manually, or use an in-app purchase do do it automatically.
- Secondary video feed support to enable you to draw from a live subject, not just a photograph. *Requires iOS 10.3 or higher to receive hosted video.*
- Time-lapsed recordings of you creating your drawing you can share on social media.
- Support for external bluetooth keyboards to aid in creating large art through mirroring your display.
- Advanced tools such as vertical split screen sliders, timed image fading in and out, etc.
- A projector mode that can be used when you’re using the app with a projector.
- Video tutorials you can watch from within the app or from YouTube.
- A full user manual available from within the app.
- Customer support that you can count on and an active user community for inspiration.

To use our application, you just place your iPhone or iPad between your drawing surface and your eyes and trace what you see on the screen!

IMPORTANT: To use Camera Lucida, you need to fix your iPhone or iPad in place above your drawing. We use a stack of books or a flower vase to do this. Tutorials are included in the app to help you get started. Also, some advanced functions such as receiving the multi-device video feed require iOS 10.3 or higher.

Nao faz o que promete

Pela propaganda, pensei que seria possivel desenhar sobre uma foto e, assim, vc mesmo fazer o desenho da pessoa. Ele apenas aplica uns efeitos bobos na foto.

Great idea. Great App.

Since reading Hockneys "Secret Knowledge" I always wanted to draw portraits with a camera lucida. This brilliant App. has distinct advantages over the mechanical version, and just saved me $400 for an antique or $70 for a modern plastic version. Worth every cent. Thanks a load.

Einfach klasse!

Diese App ist einfach klasse! Obwohl es nicht so leicht ist ein Ipad passend zu positionieren, Ist diese Camera Lucida deutlich praktischer als herkömmliche. Erstmal ist der Preis unschlagbar, dann sehe ich einen viel größeren Ausschnitt (ein- und auszoombar) und ich kann die durchlässigkeit meines Refrenzbildes einstellen (!) Die vielen möglichen Filter bieten mir weitere unzählige Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten. Wahnsinn

Großartig und praktisch, viel zu unbekannt!

Diese App erleichtert das Abzeichnen von Vorlagen oder Fotos. Das funktioniert sehr gut, die App hat viele sinnvolle Hilfsfunktionen. Hierzu gehören Zoom für Details und Farbtonumwandlungen, damit die Umsetzung auf Papier leichter gelingt. Die Ergebnisse sind auch bei Nichtprofis sehr vorzeigbar. So gehts: Die Vorlage ist auf dem iOS-Gerät und wird halbtransparent dargestellt Die Kamera schaut gleichzeitig auf das PAPIER auf das man mit echten Farben malt oder zeichnet. Hierzu muss das iOS-Gerät auf einer Halterung oberhalb des Papiers liegen, man schaut also auf Bildschirm und Zeichenfläche. Im Netz gibt es einige Beispiel-Videos zur Handhabung und Bauanleitungen für Halterungen oder Stative, es geht aber auch mit provisorischeren Mitteln. Der Entwickler ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich und unterhält ein Blog zu seiner App.

Enttäuscht

Das App ist sehr schwer zu bedienen und zu positionieren! Außerdem kann man gleich am Fenster abpausen und nicht da rum kritzeln. Es ist sehr schwer mit dem app zu zeichnen da man sich eher auf den Display konzentriert und nicht auf das darunter liegende Blatt! Ich bin sehr enttäuscht und ich finde es Schade dass ich sooo viel Geld für so ein Mist ausgegeben habe (4,49€!!!)

Great app, bad design

Great app with good features. But please update the design, and the icon. Please.

Keine Update!

Seit 2014 wird für das App nichts mehr gemacht! Somit kann man es getrost von seinem Gerät löschen!
