## Camera Lucida™ Description
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™.

	•	Camera Adjustments: Use your device camera and adjust for different setups manually or with an in-app purchase to auto-adjust.
	•	Time-Lapsed Recordings: Share your drawing process on social media.
	•	Advanced Tools: Vertical split screen sliders, timed image fading, and more.
	•	Video Tutorials: Watch tutorials within the app or on YouTube.
	•	Comprehensive User Manual: Accessible from within the app.

## Camera Lucida™ Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "An excellent tool"
I am very pleased to review this app as it is very well designed and easy to use. 
Whether or not it is used for drawing it has many other useful tools. 
As an artist and teacher of art I have recommended this to all of my students and all have found it useful.
-- Muses reality, 2023-10-20

### ***** "Great App"
If you love art this is your new best friend.
-- Frank Machin, 2023-09-20

### ***** "Miles ahead of anything else"
What a brilliant app. I have been drawing and painting for decades and normally drew a grid for accuracy. Not anymore. Camera Lucida is the perfect solution. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
More than that, the designer interacts freely with users and take all comments on board. This app is the genuine article and is a very rare creature in this day and age.
-- durenn, 2023-08-23

### ***** "Absolutely love it"
I use it all the time and wouldn’t be without it.  Excellent the way it helps me with detail and proportion. Thoroughly recommend it
-- Mind The Gap Too, 2023-08-15

### ***** "Drawing app …. It’s the best"
I started using this app 3-4 years ago and I honestly I think it’s the best out there and not that it’s always getting upgraded but if you’ve a problem the  owner/designer is on hand to help you …. Don’t get that with any other app … 5star fantastic app 👌
-- sam12030, 2023-08-07

### ***** "Excellent at doing what it claims"
Developer is very helpful , and there is also an excellent Facebook group to help with queries and problems.
-- Valamo81, 2023-07-24

### ***** "Phil Lewis"
I’ve been using the Camera Lucida app for over three years and find it an absolutely invaluable tool to create artwork of any size from A5 to A2. Would never be without it now.
-- TELSTAR1, 2023-07-20

### ***** "Absolutely excellent!"
I have to say this is the best app purchase I’ve ever made. I use it all the time, it really really helps me map out the drawings for my watercolour paintings. I find it invaluable for portrait work. It doesn’t replace drawing, but it sure does help getting scale and proportions right.
-- salhead, 2023-07-20

### ***** "Highly Recommended for Improving Your Art Skills."
This App is an asset for everyone from Novice to Expert.  Once you’ve tried it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. It will knock years off your learning curve. Even if you think you can’t draw a straight line….you will amaze yourself and friends once you uncover your hidden skills with the help of Camera Lucida. 5 Star Rated for Good Reason.
-- Oundle Lighthouse, 2023-07-20

### ***** "Love it"
I have this app a few years now and it just keeps getting better. The support you get is second to none .
-- marue price, 2023-07-20

### ***** "Absolutely superb"
An excellent drawing aid that keeps evolving, growing ever more sophisticated. Importantly, I have found support is prompt and very helpful. I cannot recommend CameraLucida highly enough.
-- Sonosuser51, 2023-05-17

### ***** "Fantastic and easy to use"
Awesome app. Developer really cares about our user experience and is so responsive. So many cool and useful aspects to this app. Can’t recommended it enough
-- Bev Glocs, 2022-12-11

### ***** "Camera Lucida"
Absolutely love this app. Does what it’s suppose to.
-- SDAref, 2022-11-24

### ***** "Excellent app"
Looked at various options and discounted Lucy Flex as this app is far better and bought recommended iPad stand to go with it. Superb
-- Coolwebranger, 2022-09-04

### ***** "The Best Drawing App"
Excellent drawing app. With each update it just gets better and better. The toolbox has a number of helpful features. Colour palette and grey scale are particularly useful.
-- OldBaldyGit, 2022-07-20

### ***** "Excellent app"
This is a fantastic app. You can use it as is and get an idea of basic art concepts like shape, value and perspective without realising it or you can use it in so many ways to improve your pencil and paper drawing. It allows you to simplify a photo to between 2 and 12 levels and you can correct  line work etc. Peter is very helpful if you have problems and for the money it is great.
-- jrapprentice, 2022-06-19

### ***** "Best drawing and painting aid for all levels of artists"
I have used this app for some time now and find it the absolute top app for assistance with art work . The back up help is just amazing...new features being added all the time and the management take a personal commitment to giving guidance and instruction to all users. There are other apps which seem to be poor copies of camera lucida available but none anywhere near this original.
-- ken cowe, 2022-02-23

### ***** "Excellent art tool"
Having struggled to get back in to drawing properly this app has opened up a whole new avenue for me , the out line and perspective can be drawn out in a fraction of the time of freehand and then the fun can begin with the medium of your choice 👍fantastic app well worth the money
-- toms biggest fan, 2021-03-08

### ***** "Brilliant"
This has helped me so much with my prospective drawings in preparation with my acrylic paintings as a budding artist.  I bought the gooseneck clamp iPad stand which is so much better for holding the camera while I work.  The app is so easy to use with brilliant easy tutorials. Thanks so much
-- Noeline 0909, 2021-01-31

### ***** "Brilliant help"
For anyone who has ever had that “where do I start” moment - this is for you.  Great help with the technicalities of drawing enabling you to concentrate on your own personal artistic endeavours. 
Fantastic support from the app support designer and great ideas.
Been using it for a long time and improvements are also wonderful.
Cannot recommend highly enough..
-- NannyLOB, 2021-01-22
