Draw Like a Pro with Camera Lucida™: AR Drawing

One-Time Purchase: No subscriptions! Buy it once and use on your devices.

Enhance Your Art Skills: Whether you're sketching with a pencil or painting with a brush, Camera Lucida™ helps you become a better artist.

Unmatched Functionality: With 12+ years of development, Camera Lucida™ offers features that no competitor can match. Create stunning physical art using your iPhone or iPad's camera. Simply point your device at your drawing surface, and watch the screen to see your reference image superimposed over your work. It's more versatile than a light table, better than a projector, and easier to use than a traditional Camera Lucida™.

How It Works: Place your iPhone or iPad between your eyes and your drawing surface. The app shows a virtual image on your screen, guiding your hand as you draw. This clever method makes it easy and fun to create detailed art.

Top Features:
• Buy it once for lifetime use.
• Advanced Image Filters: See with an artist's eye.
• Zoom in Lock: For ultra detailed drawing.
• Session Save & Restore: Automatically realign your camera, sketch, and reference image.
• Full Color Palette Control: Use your own paints, markers, and more.
• Camera Adjustments: Use your device camera and adjust for different setups manually or with an in-app purchase to auto-adjust.

Great app. I recommend it to all aspiring artists. To purchase a Camera Lucida would normally cost upwards of $300.This app will give you the confidence you are looking for to improve your art. Great for both the amateur and professional.
