Artist Proportion Tool

Artist Proportion Tool is a digital version of the classic "pencil held at arm's length" technique. Load a reference photo, draw measurement lines across features, and instantly see how they compare — no guesswork needed.

HOW IT WORKS

Take a photo or pick one from your gallery
Drag to place a measurement line across any feature (head height, arm length, etc.)
Add a second line and see the proportion instantly
Set a canvas scale — tell the app "this line is 2 inches on my canvas" and every other line shows its real size
