AR Sketch: Trace Drawing

Trace drawings with your phone

AR Sketch: Trace Drawing turns your phone into a guide for drawing on paper. Choose an image, position the phone above your page, and follow the visible lines with a pencil or pen. The app is suited to beginners learning basic shapes, children exploring art, and anyone who wants help copying a reference image more accurately.

Templates and your own images

The built-in collection includes subjects such as anime, tattoos, cars, and other designs. You can also add an image from your device and use it as a tracing guide. Image controls such as opacity adjustment help you make the guide easier to follow, while the flashlight option can improve visibility in different drawing conditions.

Practice at your own level

Alongside freehand tracing, the app includes step-by-step drawing lessons and dot-to-dot activities. These give new artists a more structured way to practise lines, proportions, and simple forms. The range of activities makes it useful for casual sessions as well as repeated practice.

You can also record a time-lapse of your drawing process, creating a short record of how the work develops from outline to finished piece. With its mix of guided lessons, reusable images, and tracing templates, AR Sketch: Trace Drawing is built around learning by doing rather than simply viewing examples.
