Trace drawings onto real paper with your camera. AR light box, 400 drawings.
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.

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.
