How it works
A simple trick of light, made beautiful
It's the same optical principle Renaissance masters used, rebuilt for the phone in your pocket.
-
01
Pick your image
Open any photo, reference or line art on your phone: a family portrait, your dog, a favorite anime scene.
-
02
Place it on top
Set your phone on the stand. The angled clear plate reflects the image onto the paper below.
-
03
Look through and draw
Look through the plate to see the image on your paper, then follow it with your own pencil, line by line.
Why Orvello
Your hand. Your pencil. Perfect proportions.
It doesn't draw for you. It shows your hand where the lines go, so you get more confident with every sketch.
-
Proportions, solved
No more crooked eyes or stretched faces. The hardest part of drawing is handled from the first line.
-
Feather-light & foldable
Folds flat to fit in a bag or sketchbook. Draw on the couch, in a café or at the kitchen table.
-
Zero power, zero apps
Pure optics, with nothing to charge, pair or subscribe to. Your phone screen is the light source.
-
Any medium
Works with graphite, ink, markers, watercolor or acrylic on paper, canvas, wood and more.

From "I can't draw" to "I made this"
"I honestly can't draw, and I wanted to cheat a little for a project. It took a minute to set up and adjust the brightness, then it was super easy. I'm actually proud of the result."
"My son drew his favorite Pokémon and asked to hang it on the fridge. We now spend Sunday afternoons drawing together instead of scrolling."
"I use it to transfer mural sketches onto canvas. It saves me an hour per piece and it's light enough to bring to every job."
Questions, answered
Does it work with my phone?
Yes. Orvello works with any iPhone or Android phone, and even small tablets. You don't need an app. Just open an image in your photo gallery.
Which size should I choose?
The 9 inch is our everyday favorite. It fits every sketchbook and travels easily. The 12 inch gives you the most room for large portraits and canvas work. Many artists keep both.
Isn't this just tracing?
Artists have used optical tools for centuries. Orvello gives you the outline, but the shading, texture and style all come from your hand. Most people find they draw better freehand after a few weeks.
Why does the image look mirrored?
The plate reflects your screen, so flip the image horizontally in your phone's photo editor first. For the clearest view, turn up your screen brightness and draw in a softly lit room.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are processed within 1–2 business days and ship free. You'll get a tracking link by email as soon as your Orvello is on its way.
