Soooo so helpful!! 🥹

Ive been struggling a lot with drawing poses, but this helped so so much!!! Every other app has some pesky, annoying charge and won’t even let u use ur own reference, so this is extremely refreshing!! 10/10 would recommend 🤩

Okay if image doesn’t need to be resized

Cool app but don’t like that you can’t resize the overlaid image. Other than that though the app would’ve been perfect for what I was using it for

Would love the ability to take a picture while the overlay is visible- without the reference in the pic. Great work thank you
