Description

First released in June 2010, CopyIt is the original and most feature rich grid drawing app available anywhere! See why so many artists, teachers and students are using CopyIt as an essential tool in their workflows.
NEW USERS - PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the large number of features in CopyIt, the toolbars are scrollable. Try scrolling each toolbar to access all of the available buttons.
Used by artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci, the grid drawing method has been brought to digital life with CopyIt. CopyIt assists you in copying, enlarging or reducing your chosen reference image using the grid drawing method. You do not even need to be artistic.
The grid drawing method has been used for centuries. It breaks images down into smaller work areas allowing you to focus on the actual lines and shapes within each square, rather than trying to draw the whole picture at once. You can't help but achieve with this method.
Using CopyIt as your reference object, it saves you from having to print your photos and ruin them by drawing grids over them, but unlike a real photo, it gives you the ability to zoom into the fine details. With a pencil, you then draw up a grid with the same number of squares using a separate medium, such as paper or canvas. Working square by square, you CopyIt!
If you want to draw an image larger or smaller than the original, the pencil-drawn grid should be drawn larger or smaller than the original grid on the device with the same amount of squares.  All that matters is that the contents of each square are drawn to scale.

CopyIt The Grid Drawing Method Reviews

Sarebbe da 5 stelle se ci fossero anche i colori a olio della Maimeri

Game changer for aspiring artists

Don't buy any old rubbish on

United Kingdom

This is a great App for artists. You pop in a picture from photos etc. then can see it as black and white, Notran or other formats / levels of grey scale. The grids allow precise copying or guidelines and the colour picker is almost as good as real paint pro. Get that as well and your up and running with creating great paintings. You’ll need paints and brushes and canvases too of course. It’s only an App just a very useful one imho.

Wonderful

Packs a Punch

This is everything I need. I nearly bought a Lucinda Drawing Tool. I got this instead and there’s no regrets!

I don’t buy many apps but so glad I got this one. I use it all the time for my art. I am a coloured pencil pet portrait artist, and find it suits all my needs. All the grids and different aspects of the app are so helpful. Would highly recommend.

The Best Drawing App Out There

United Kingdom

This app has helped me understand shading and has helped me improve my drawing ability immensely. It has given me the confidence to draw independently and enjoy drawing and painting purely as a hobby. This is without doubt the best drawing app out there !!

Copyit is so good

Tarmacky on

United Kingdom

I find this very useful app for helping with my art work. Drawing accurately for portraits - with or without the grids works well. On magnification I can size to whatever I want and use the same measurement on the drawing. then I don't need the grids. Recommend.

Indispensable for artist’s

Why do you need a crop tool? You should have edited your picture BEFOREHAND! This app is invaluable for transferring an edited photo to canvas or paper ready for the painting. It's like a renaissance electronic pounce bag! If you don't know what that is then you're not a proper artist! It doesn’t need music.....unnecessary!

This app IS worth paying for...

This app is so far ahead of rival apps that it’s hard to compare. There’s just about everything you need in a grid app, and the extras are so well considered e.g. the greyscale tool which is invaluable for painting. I’d never even have thought about music in an app like this, but it’s such a practical touch once you’re aware of it. I’m continually impressed by how well this app helps in the creative process.
