About this app

Looking to improve your drawing technique and master accurate proportions?

TraceDraw turns your phone into a precise visual tracing tool for paper, canvas, and murals.

Trace outlines with ease, learn line control, and create artwork step by step.


CORE FEATURES

📷 Camera Tracing: Overlay any reference photo directly onto your physical paper using your device camera.

📱 Screen Drawing Mode: Use your phone display as a direct lightbox reference to practice form and edges.

🔲 Grid Scale Mode: Apply an adjustable reference grid to replicate proportions accurately on large canvases.

✏️ Photo to Sketch: Convert personal pictures into clean, crisp line contours that are easy to sketch over.

🎨 Precision Tools: Adjust opacity, zoom, rotate, lock camera view, and apply monochrome or sepia filters.

🖼️ Flexible Image Import: Choose photos from your local gallery, search online, or select curated packs.

💾 Project Manager: Keep your ongoing sketches saved locally on your device to continue anytime.


HOW TO PRACTICE DRAWING

1. Select a reference picture from your device gallery or the built-in art collections.

2. Adjust overlay opacity, frame the scale, and turn on grid lines if necessary.

3. Mount your phone on a desktop stand or mug with the camera facing down at your paper.

4. Look through your screen, trace the outlines onto the page, and complete your artwork freehand.


PRIVACY & LOCAL PERFORMANCE

All image rendering and camera projections are handled strictly on your local device. Camera access serves only as an optical real-time drawing guide. None of your photos or sketches are sent to external servers.


Ideal for practicing anime, manga characters, realism portraits, and architectural sketches.

*Works with standard desktop phone stands or tripods. No extra drawing hardware needed.
