Light it.
Turn it.
Draw it.
A pocket atelier for artists. Turn a study form to match your model, orbit the light to match the lamp, and watch how every plane takes the light — heads, hands, skulls, and classical busts.
Drag to orbit the key light, or start from a preset — Front, Rembrandt, Split, Butterfly, Top, Rim, Under. Dial intensity, warmth, and fill.
Turn and tilt the form to the exact angle you're drawing from. Pinch to zoom in on the passage you're studying.
Posterize the shading into 2–5 flat values, like a notan study, so plane groupings become obvious — then paint what you see.
A full lighting rig in your thumb zone
Everything lives in one sheet: light presets, key intensity, warm-to-cool temperature — candlelight to north light — and a fill slider that decides how dark the shadow side goes.
Pick a form. Keep your light.
Swap between the planar head, anatomical features, hands, skulls, and classical busts — your light rig, preset, and camera carry over, so you can compare how the same light reads across forms.

Questions, answered
Is Art Atelier really free?
Yes — the download is free and includes the planar head with the full lighting rig. A single one-time purchase unlocks every subject and tool, including everything added later.
What subjects are included?
The Asaro-style planar head, anatomical studies (eyes, nose, ear, lips), hands, feet, skulls, and classical busts like Goethe, Schiller, Brutus, and Marcus Aurelius — with more on the way.
What are value steps?
A posterize mode that quantizes the shading into 2–5 flat values — like a notan study — so the big value shapes and plane groupings become obvious before you commit to paint.
Does it work offline?
Completely. Everything renders on your device — no account, no connection, no uploads. Take it to the studio, the museum, or the life-drawing session.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets — available on both the App Store and Google Play.
Take it to the easel.
Free to download on iPhone, iPad, and Android. One one-time purchase unlocks everything.
