What it does
Create accurate outlines from any reference
LoomiGrid helps artists add a grid to any reference photo, adjust rows and columns, tune line thickness and opacity, and use diagonal guides to compare proportions. As an outline drawing app, it is useful for portraits, objects, landscapes, sketchbook transfer, reference studies, and building cleaner outlines before adding detail.
The app is made for artists first: break complex references into smaller sections, plan forms with construction tools, or use filters and trace overlays to draw an outline from a photo with more control.
Reference Trace Layers
Import a reference, reduce opacity, lock the image while drawing, and apply useful filters such as black and white, outline, sketch, and values.
Construction Draw
Build faces with circles, lines, curves, polygons, arrows, and guided shape tools made for structured sketching practice.
Built-In Loomis References
Keep front, three-quarter, and profile construction references beside the sketch while studying facial structure.
Build portraits with construction & Loomis guides
Use circles, ovals, lines, rectangles, curves, and guide shapes to plan a head before drawing details. Built-in front, three-quarter, and profile references support Loomis-style head construction practice.
Trace references onto your sketchbook
Import a reference image, reduce its opacity, apply artist-friendly filters, lock alignment, and use the phone as a practical reference overlay while drawing from paper or a sketchbook.
Drawing tools made for artists
LoomiGrid combines a grid maker, reference image overlay, construction drawing helper, outline drawing aid, draft saver, and export workflow in one Android app.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is LoomiGrid?
LoomiGrid is an Android drawing utility for artists that combines customizable drawing grids, construction and Loomis drawing guides, and tracing/reference tools to help transfer proportions and build accurate outlines from reference images.
What is the grid method in drawing?
The grid method divides a reference image into rows and columns so artists can compare smaller sections, check proportions, and copy shapes more accurately onto paper or a canvas.
Can LoomiGrid add a grid to a reference image?
Yes. LoomiGrid can overlay a drawing grid on a reference image and lets artists adjust grid rows, columns, thickness, opacity, color, and diagonal guides.
Is LoomiGrid useful for portrait drawing?
Yes, but it is not limited to portraits. LoomiGrid supports portraits, objects, landscapes, studies, and any reference where better proportions or a clean outline would help.
Can LoomiGrid help with the Loomis method?
LoomiGrid works as a Loomis method drawing app with construction reference assistance for front, three-quarter, and profile head drawing, while still supporting broader reference drawing workflows.
What are construction drawing tools?
Construction drawing tools are simple guide shapes such as circles, ovals, lines, rectangles, curves, and other marks that help artists plan the structure of a drawing before adding detail.
Can I use LoomiGrid to trace a reference image?
Yes. LoomiGrid supports a trace workflow with reference image import, opacity control, filters, and reference locking so artists can align and study a sketchbook or image reference.
What is the best app for adding a grid to a drawing reference?
LoomiGrid is a focused drawing grid app for Android that lets artists add customizable rows, columns, diagonal guides, opacity, and color controls to almost any reference image.
Can LoomiGrid help me draw an outline from a photo?
Yes. Import a photo, then use Grid, Construction Draw, or Trace with filters and opacity controls to study proportions and draw an outline from the reference.
Is LoomiGrid suitable for beginners?
Yes. Beginners can use LoomiGrid to break references into manageable grid sections, understand head construction, and create more accurate drawing outlines while practicing.
Is LoomiGrid available on Android?
Yes. LoomiGrid is available for Android through Google Play.
Can I save or export my reference setup?
LoomiGrid supports draft saving and export workflows so artists can keep practice setups or share finished reference and sketch work.
