PROYAV: Artist Drawing Aid

Your brain is a liar. It fills in what it expects to see — not what's actually there. That's why your teacher's eye catches what yours misses. PROYAV gives you that second eye. Mid-session, on your own, whenever you need it.

Point your camera at your reference or at your artwork and see it differently: SEE — Flip horizontal. Flip vertical. Rotate. Your brain can't lie about a reversed image. MEASURE — Overlay the golden ratio spiral, Loomis head, or figure canon directly onto your work. See exactly where the proportions break. Move and rotate the overlay to match your angle. FEEL — Blur your drawing to see the values. Push the contrast or switch to grayscale to reveal the structure.

TRAIN is where the habit lives. A daily prompt. A dot for every day you showed up. A record of the sessions you actually completed. 500 prompts across 14 topics: Portrait, Proportion, Values, Light & Shadow, Gesture, Composition, Memory, Feeling, and more. The more you explore, the more it varies.

Built for self-taught artists and art students who draw without a teacher in the room. Validated by real artists who described the same workarounds — flipping the canvas, hand mirror, stepping back and squinting — and concluded there wasn't much else they could do. PROYAV is what comes next.

Built solo. No team, no funding. Just an idea and too many late nights.

OFFLINE BY DESIGN No cloud. No accounts. No subscription. Your drawings stay on your phone. I don't know who you are, and I don't want to. SEE, MEASURE, FEEL and PROGRESS are free forever. One optional unlock — a small one-time coffee — keeps the daily habit going.

PROYAV. Ukrainian: Прояв. Revelation. Manifestation. Display. Development.
