GridLay: Grid Drawing

Veewa Labs

About this app

Bring your favorite images to life, one square at a time. GridLay uses the classic grid drawing method to help you create accurate drawings from your photos. By breaking down the reference image and your drawing surface into equal squares, you can focus on one square at a time, making it easier to recreate an image on paper or canvas with more confidence.


How It Works?

Start by importing an image from your gallery or capturing a new photo with your camera. Crop and rotate your reference, then create a grid by setting the number of rows and columns. Draw the same grid on your paper or canvas, then work through the image one cell at a time. It's a simple way to create drawings with better accuracy and proportions.
