Use your phone's camera to trace images directly onto paper with the Draw to Sketch app.
The Draw, Trace & Sketching app transforms photos and artwork into line drawings. By using your phone's camera, you can trace images onto paper by following the lines displayed on your screen. Trace and sketch with ease—it's an excellent tool for learning drawing and tracing techniques.
This app makes tracing images straightforward. Simply pick an image from the app or your gallery, apply a filter to prepare it for tracing, and it will appear overlaid on your camera feed. Hold your phone about a foot above the paper and look at the screen to trace the image.
Key Features:
- Trace any image using the camera view on your phone; the image appears on screen, not on the paper, allowing you to reproduce it accurately.
- Draw on paper while viewing a transparent image overlay with the camera active.
- Use built-in sample images as references for your sketchbook drawings.
- Select gallery images, convert them into traceable outlines, and sketch them on blank paper.
- Adjust image transparency or convert images into line art to support your creative process.
This app helps you transfer images from your phone's camera to paper, making drawing and sketching more accessible. Here's how it works:
1. Image Selection:
Choose an image from your gallery or take a new photo with the camera.
2. Applying Filters & Camera Display:
Apply a tracing filter. Your screen will show a transparent version of the image over the camera feed. Place your drawing paper underneath and start tracing.
3. Tracing onto Paper:
While the image doesn't print on the paper, the transparent overlay on your screen guides you as you trace.
4. Drawing Process:
Draw on paper while keeping your eyes on the phone's transparent image display.
5. Converting Images:
Turn any image into a traceable outline for sketching.
Image Tracing:

Transparent Image:
Yes—the camera feed displays your image with transparency, overlaying it onto your real-world view. This helps you trace the image directly onto paper.
Real-time Tracing:

Sample Images:
Of course. The app includes sample images so you can practice tracing and improve your drawing confidence and skills.
