Studio Grid

A gridding app for artists, made by a working portrait artist for his own drawings. Match your reference to your paper, lay a grid over it, and draw.

What it does

  • Match the grid to your paper: A5, A4, A3 or your own size
  • Fill the sheet or fit the whole photograph, with whole squares if you prefer no part rows
  • Pinch and drag to frame the photograph, with the paper shape locked
  • Diagonals, and subtle numbering on all four edges
  • A drawing view: the reference full screen, with a look closer zoom
  • Values, skin warmth and vanishing edges, for seeing your reference in grey before you draw it
  • Your drawings are saved and reopen where you left off

Coming soon

Studio Grid is in testing. It will be on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
