Art Atelier: Art Reference

Art Atelier is a lighting and drawing studio in your pocket — for painters, portrait and figure artists, and anyone learning to see form in light. Pick a 3D-scanned study, turn it to your pose, then orbit a key light around it and watch every plane fall into light and shadow. It's the reference you wish you had when the life model isn't in the room. LIGHT IT LIKE THE STUDIO • Classic portrait presets: Front, Rembrandt, Split, Butterfly, Top, Rim, Under • Move the key light freely and set its intensity • Warm-to-cool color temperature (2700K–7500K) • Fill / ambient control for how deep the shadows go • Value Steps (notan) mode — posterize shading into 2–5 flat values to plan your masses TURN IT TO ANY ANGLE • Drag to rotate; pinch to zoom • Free-tumble on hands and feet — reach any orientation • Flip horizontal to check your drawing 18 STUDIES TO DRAW FROM • The Asaro planar head — the classic map of the planes of the head • Anatomy plates: skulls, eyes, ear, nose, lips, hands, feet • Classical casts & busts: Goethe, Schiller, Brutus, Augustus, and more • A sphere for pure light-and-form study FREE TO START Five studies are free — including the planar head — with every lighting and value control unlocked.
