Oh I've been using VisRef and I think it's fine, but ArtDeck looks like something I might like more. It works on Mac, too? Is there a good way to crop images in it to specific ratios?

Late to this but I make ArtDeck, reference boards for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Grayscale, flip, crop, iCloud sync, one-time purchase. Sync speed is Apple's call, though you can force it when it lags, and if PC means Windows there's no version. Free trial in a few weeks! (With the new perspective tool)

Did anything ever survive that board? I make ArtDeck, reference boards for iPad and Mac, and the ones that killed VizRef are what I want to test against, to find the limits of hardware and my code. I've only pushed it as far as my own boards go! I can give you a TestFlight link if you want.

You can check the balance of a character with a plumb line. For a held pose, gravity should fall inside the support area. In motion, direction and force shift the balance, so a character can look off-center and still be moving correctly.
Which pose feels more stable in the 5th image?

I thought Monet’s Grainstacks had a wide value range but I was wrong!
Its warm–cool colour contrast creates strong separation even though the values are surprisingly close.
I compared four Monet paintings to unpack high key, low key, narrow range and wide range.
Any surprise for you among them?

I was drawing concepts for a personal project, references over two devices and three screens. Nothing talked to each other and I kept losing my place.
ArtDeck came out of that: one canvas that holds it all and lets you study an image without leaving it.
Out today. iPhone, iPad, Mac. Pay once.

Each quadrant of this Caravaggio carries a different balance of light and dark. Reduced to two values, the diagonal beam is the clearest path through it.
The Calling of Saint Matthew, c. 1600. Studied in ArtDeck, which I'm making.
Which painting holds up at two values?
