About this app

Real Sketch is FREE OF ADVERTISING! It includes 8 powerful drawing tools for artists, students, and professional designers.

1. IMAGE TRACING (Free)
Use the tracing tool to trace and copy your images onto any surface using your phone's camera lens. Capture photos with your phone or load images from your gallery, then overlay and trace them onto any surface. AR Tracing makes tracing more versatile than traditional methods, allowing you to trace on paper, canvas, wood, plastic, or metal. Record a time-lapse video of your tracing process to share on social media.

2. CALLIGRAPHY TRACING (Pro)
The calligraphy tracing tool enables you to write like a professional. Choose your font, enter your text, and trace it from your screen onto any surface using your phone's camera lens. Similar to image AR tracing, you can record your work as you go.

3. SCALING GRID (Pro)
A traditional scaling grid helps you enlarge your image to fit your paper size precisely.

4. PERSPECTIVE TOOL (Free)
Draw scenes with perfect linear perspective easily. Measure angles and slopes, and transfer them onto your paper using the side of your phone as a ruler. Improve your perspective drawing skills through practice.

5. COLOR MIXER (Free)
Mix Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary colors using a painter's color wheel. See the resulting mixed color along with its Tint, Tone, and Shade.

6. COLOR HARMONIES (Pro)
Pick colors from photos or images to view their Complementary Colors, Split Complementaries, Triads, and Analogous Colors, based on Itten's Color Wheel. Build your color palette effectively.

7. TONAL VALUES (Pro)
View your scene in grayscale to determine the correct tonal values. Compare the tonal values of your artwork side-by-side with the scene.

8. SLOPE GAUGE (Pro)
Ensure accuracy in your drawing by checking the location of your eye-level line and angles within a scene.

The app is adjustable for use on flat surfaces or easels, according to your preference.

Ratings and reviews

Great app! I love the AR tracing! I only wish I could save my photos that I take within the app so I could work on multiple projects. I could make a sketchbook where I have the same frame on each page, or I could make a flip book where I draw a new part of the picture on a different page. Unless I'm missing something, the pictures disappear when I close the app.

I'm an urban sketcher and plein air painter and I find the Perspective Tool in this app speeds up my drawing process a lot and aids in getting accurate angles. I've always used some kind of tool to aid in drawing complex urban scenes and now I have an app :-) I know I'll be recommending this tool to all my students. The AR Tracing Tool is sooo much fun! It's pretty much addictive. I can see myself using it for aiding in layouts in my sketchbook and as alternative to my lightbox in my studio.

An excellent AR tracing app. more features than I think I will use, but what I have used has been intuitive and effective. One feature I would like to see is to lock the enlarged image size so I'm know im consistently tracing the image.
