PerspectiveLens turns your phone into a perspective-drawing aid you prop above your paper or canvas — no tracing lightbox, no ruler, no guesswork. Point the camera down at your drawing surface and PerspectiveLens overlays live, draggable perspective guide grids directly over the video feed. Line up the vanishing points with your subject, lock the grid so a resting hand can't nudge it, and draw straight onto the real paper underneath. What you see is your actual surface, live — never a static photo. FOR ARTISTS AT ANY LEVEL - 1-Point, 2-Point and 3-Point perspective modes, plus the Room Box tool - 8 ready-made presets — room corners, street corners, tabletop still life, interior walls, corridors, worm's-eye and bird's-eye views - Drag any vanishing point by hand; the horizon and every guide line update instantly - Snap-to-angle and snap-to-horizon keep your setup clean, or turn snapping off for full manual control - Adjustable grid color and opacity so guides stay legible against any paper or canvas TRACE A REFERENCE PHOTO Import any photo from your library, then drag, pinch, and rotate it right over the camera feed with an adjustable opacity slider — perfect for studies, copies, and figure practice. TRY EVERYTHING FREE FOR 3 DAYS Every tool is unlocked for your first 3 days — 3-Point perspective (dramatic looking-up and looking-down views), the Room Box tool for full corner boxes with walls, floor, and ceiling, and all 8 guided presets.
