About this app

Drawing Grid is a drawing companion and project manager built for artists who work from reference photos. Overlay an adjustable grid on any image, size and position it exactly how you need, and use it to keep proportions and perspective accurate as you sketch — on paper or digitally.

Beyond the grid tool, Drawing Grid helps you manage your art from first reference to finished piece, so your projects, progress, and portfolio all live in one place.

Ratings and reviews

Looks great on the outside, but the app will not save to my phone gallery. I allowed all access that was asked for, but it will not save to my gallery. The app does a beautiful job setting up a grid. I love it and was ready to give you all 5 stars, but its useless to me if I can't save my work. I'll keep it on my wish list and check back after an update. If I can save to my phone or tablet I change my review.

Thank you, this app is exactly what I was looking for. With it, you can add grid lines onto a photo from your phone's gallery. It's perfect for drawing from a photo reference. You can change the colour & width of the lines and add numbers to each square. You are also able to adjust how large or small the grid is by selecting the number of columns and rows. Additionally, you can choose to have a diagonal grid; or instead of squares, your grid can be made up of rectangles.

it is a very very good app for all beginners and professionals
