Best app for artists

This is the best app for getting an accurate drawing and so helpful for seeing values

Quite good

Now I am getting the hang of it I am managing to get useful grids - It wont let me upload the photos I want to use from my desktop, but I am working round that by putting them into my photos library and then it lets me take them from there.

Response from developer

I’m sorry you are having trouble with that. In the info button is a link to email support and we can help you figure it out

Daily composition helper

This program helps with my daily painting, and make sure the composition is sound

Grid too thick

Grid width, even at the lowest setting, is too thick.

So helpful for drawing!

This is a wonderful tool to save time when drawing buildings or birds! I don’t have to keep redrawing or erasing lines since the proportions are always correct with the grids. You can customize the size of the canvas which is also very helpful. Love this app!
