About this app

AR Trace Sketch turns your phone into a steady drawing companion. Point your camera at a blank sheet of paper, and any photo or reference image appears aligned right on top of it in augmented reality — so you can trace, practice proportions, and build real pencil-on-paper skills.

HOW IT WORKS
- Pick a reference photo from your library.
- Prop your phone above your paper and align the reference with pinch, rotate, and lock controls until it fits your page perfectly.
- Draw on the real paper underneath while the live camera overlay guides your lines.

PRACTICE YOUR WAY
- Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced modes each set a different overlay opacity and grid so you can wean yourself off the guide as you improve.
- Or set a fully custom practice length and let gentle break reminders keep your sessions comfortable.

DRAWING TOOLS BUILT FOR TRACING
- Lock your reference in place so it never drifts mid-drawing.
- Switch between thirds, fine, or center-axis grids for accurate proportions.
- Adjust overlay opacity and contrast live while you draw.

YOUR SKETCHBOOK
- Every trace is saved as a page in your own digital sketchbook, complete with session time tracking.
- Flip through past projects, rename them, or tear a page to delete it.
- Free accounts can keep up to 3 active projects at a time.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS (PRO)
- Grayscale and edge/contour guide modes to focus on shapes and values instead of color.
- Capture a before/after photo alongside your reference as you draw — free accounts get one capture to try it, Pro unlocks unlimited captures and a progress gallery.
- Build a progress gallery of your work over time, framed in a custom stamp-style layout.
- Unlock unlimited active projects.

AR Trace Sketch is designed for artists, illustrators, hobbyists, and anyone who wants to practice drawing fundamentals — proportion, structure, and confidence — using their own camera and a pencil.
