Drawing Grid Maker - ArtGride

Put a grid over your reference photo and keep every proportion true on paper. Studio filters, a mini drawing course, works fully offline.

Drawing from a photo and losing the proportions? ArtGride is a digital viewfinder - it lays a grid over your reference photo and keeps every proportion true while you draw, the way artists have done for centuries.

A GRID YOU FULLY CONTROL

• Classic grid, rule of thirds, golden ratio or radial layout
• Real cell size in cm or inches - draw the exact same grid on your paper
• Paper formats: A4, A5, canvases and sketchbooks (EU and US) or custom sizes
• Line color, thickness and opacity, plus passe-partout style margins

DRAWING MODE

• The screen stays awake - your phone sits next to the paper or on a stand
• Zoom and pan, toggle the grid with a single tap
• Studio filters: grayscale, posterize, notan, blur, 180 degree flip, mirror and negative

LESSONS A mini course of classic exercises: self portrait, upside down drawing, negative space, hand contour, master study through the grid and more. Document your progress with photos of your work - the day counter shows in plain sight how your skills grow between attempts.

INSPIRATIONS Curated public domain references - one tap opens them in the editor with a ready made grid.

NO ACCOUNT, FULLY OFFLINE No sign up required. Everything works offline and your projects stay on your phone.

For beginners who finally want to nail proportions, and for seasoned sketchers who want a faster way to transfer references to paper.
