What Da Vinci Eye is for
Da Vinci Eye is a drawing app built around an AR mode that projects a reference image so you can trace it onto your work surface. The developer lists painters, bakers and other makers among its users.
Tracing is one use among several. The app also has drawing tools, lessons, daily prompts and a community, so it suits people who work from their own photos or want structured instruction in drawing.
Projecting photos with AR mode and filters
AR mode is the core of the app. You bring in an image, usually one of your own photos, and project it so you can trace its outlines and shapes. The listing says you can create artwork this way from any photo you own.
Filters are offered as a way to make drawing easier, and a zoom control lets you work on fine detail in a drawing. The listing describes zoom as a tool for capturing micro details.
Shading with strobe and color-value layers
The strobe feature is presented as a way to make hyper-realistic drawings. It is one of the headline tools in the listing, and it sits alongside the other image-prep tools rather than replacing them.
The app can also separate an image into layers by color value, then show those areas on your canvas. That lets you work through light and dark regions of a picture one area at a time.
Recording sessions, lessons and sharing art
You can record time-lapse videos of your drawing as you work. The app also breaks any image down into step-by-step instructions and includes video tutorials on the fundamentals of drawing.
Daily drawing prompts give you something to draw each day, and a built-in community lets you share finished artwork with other users.
