Want to improve your drawing skills but struggle with proportions? Looking for a simple way to learn to draw like a pro?

Discover Art Layers, the ultimate training tool that transforms your smartphone or tablet into a digital light box. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, Art Layers lets you practice your art by overlaying a transparent layer on any content on your screen.


YOUR DRAWING TRAINING WITHOUT LIMITS

Art Layers isn't just a simple doodling app; it's your personal coach for learning to draw:

- The Power of Tracing: Open a reference photo in your gallery, activate Art Layers, and trace directly over it to understand the lines of force, anatomy, and perspective. It's the fastest way to build muscle memory!

- Follow real-time tutorials: Launch a drawing tutorial on YouTube or TikTok and draw along with the artist, directly on the video. No more juggling between two screens!

- Study your favorite scenes: Watching a movie on Netflix or Disney+? Pause and analyze the image composition by drawing over the backgrounds or characters.


TOOLS DESIGNED FOR PROGRESSION

For your practice, we've integrated essential features from professional software:

- Layers System: Separate your sketches, outlines, and colors. Work like in Photoshop or Procreate, but directly in overlay.

- Touch & Stylus Precision: Art Layers is optimized for styluses and finger pressure. Use the pencil for your sketches, the paint bucket for flat colors, and the eraser to refine your lines.

- Opacity Management: Adjust the transparency of your drawing layer to perfectly see your model underneath.

- Color Picker: Capture the exact hues of your models to learn how to create harmonious palettes.


DISCREEN ERGONOMICS TO STAY FOCUSED

Learning requires concentration. That's why Art Layers is designed to be unobtrusive:

- Smart "Eye" Mode: Instantly hide your drawing interface to compare your strokes with the original model, then resume with a single click.

- Floating Toolbar: A minimalist interface that adapts to your movements and never obscures the essence of your inspiration.

- Zero Latency: Draw smoothly, even over demanding applications.


WHY USE ARTLAYER FOR YOUR LEARNING?

Learn anatomy: Trace photos of models to understand bone and muscle structure.

Master perspective: Trace over photos of architecture or landscapes on Google Maps to incorporate vanishing points.

Progress anywhere: Your practice materials fit in your pocket. Draw on the bus, at a café, or while watching your favorite show.

SECURITY AND PRIVACY

Art Layers requires "Overlay" permission to create your workspace on top of the system. We guarantee that no data from your screen is recorded. Only your talent shines!

Don't just watch drawing videos, practice actively. The secret of the greatest artists is repetition, and Art Layers makes practicing easier and more fun than ever.
