CopyIt The Grid Drawing Method 6.4.2

CopyIt: the Ultimate Grid Drawing App for Artists, Teachers, and Students

Initially released in June 2010, CopyIt has established itself as the premier grid drawing app on the market. With a robust set of features, it is no wonder why so many professionals rely on CopyIt as an indispensable tool in their creative workflows.

Please Note: First-time users may need to take note that CopyIt offers a plethora of features, resulting in scrollable toolbars. Be sure to explore each toolbar by scrolling to access all available buttons.

By bridging the gap between traditional grid drawing techniques used by masters such as Vincent Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci, CopyIt brings this time-honored method into the digital realm. This powerful app aids users in effortlessly copying, enlarging, or reducing reference images using the grid drawing technique, regardless of their level of artistic skill.

The grid drawing method has been employed for centuries due to its effectiveness in breaking down complex images into smaller work areas. The approach allows artists to focus on replicating individual lines and shapes within each square, resulting in a more accurate rendition of the overall image. With CopyIt, success is virtually guaranteed.

Utilizing CopyIt obviates the need to print reference photos and manually overlay grids onto them. Moreover, the app grants users the ability to zoom in on intricate details that would otherwise be impossible with traditional methods. By drawing a grid with the same number of squares using a separate medium such as paper or canvas, artists can proceed to replicate their reference image square by square.

If you wish to create an image larger or smaller than the original size, simply adjust the size of the pencil-drawn grid on your device correspondingly. All that matters is that the contents of each square are accurately drawn to scale.
