Features & Capabilities

New: 400 drawings, 348 step-by-step lessons, AR anchoring that pins the drawing to your paper, Kid Mode and time-lapse. Import your own photo and trace it right away.

TRACE ANYTHING ONTO REAL PAPER. YOUR PHONE IS THE LIGHT BOX.

Hold your phone over a sheet of paper and the drawing appears on the page through the screen. Trace what you see. No printer, no carbon paper, no taping a page to a sunny window.

YOUR OWN PHOTOS ARE FREE. FOREVER. Import any picture from your camera roll, set the opacity, trace it. The light box, zoom, rotate and your own photos are not behind a paywall and never will be. That is the whole point of the app.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Pick a drawing from the library, or import a photo of your own.
  2. Hold your phone over your paper, or pin the drawing to the page with AR.
  3. Trace the lines you see through the screen.

400 DRAWINGS, 104 OF THEM FREE Animals, Anime, Architecture, Cartoon, Fantasy, Food, Nature, Objects, People, Tattoo and Vehicles, at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Real line art drawn for tracing, not photos run through a filter.

348 STEP-BY-STEP LESSONS Every lesson is built out of the drawing itself: big shapes first, then structure, then detail. You watch a face or a dragon assemble one stage at a time instead of copying a finished picture and hoping.

AR ANCHORING Pin the drawing to your paper and it stays there. Move your phone, tilt it, set it down and pick it up, and the drawing is still exactly where you left it. No more propping your phone against a coffee cup.

EVERY TOOL

  • Opacity, zoom, rotate, pan
  • Canvas lock, so your palm cannot knock the drawing out of line
  • Hands-free mode
  • Grid overlay, flip and mirror
  • Contrast, brightness and color filters for difficult light
  • Torch for tracing in the dark
  • Line art: turn a photo of your own into clean traceable outlines
  • Layer breakdown: a drawing split into its build-up stages
  • Strobe: the reference blinks off so you can see your own lines
  • Practice timer and daily streaks
  • Time-lapse: record a session and share it
  • Kid Mode: the whole library, none of the clutter
  • Works offline. No account, no sign-up.

PERFECT FOR Artists learning proportion and perspective. Anime and manga. Tattoo artists transferring flash. Embroidery, quilting and cross-stitch patterns. Calligraphy and hand lettering. Woodworking and pyrography templates. Classroom and homeschool. Kids learning to draw. Anyone who was ever told they cannot draw.

Tracing is not cheating. Artists have traced for centuries to study proportion and build the hand-eye coordination freehand drawing needs, which is why the lessons here take a drawing apart instead of just showing you the answer.

User Reviews

There is no way to import any images. I tried doing it from within the app and from my photo album by sharing or copying an image and nothing worked. Did the developer even test this?
