About
Trace any photo onto paper by hand. PencilLight shows your picture see-through on top of the camera, right over the page. Look at the screen and follow the lines with your pencil.
PERFECT FOR
• Beginners who want clean drawings from day one
• Kids and parents drawing together
• Portraits, pets and anime-style fan art from your photos
• Makers sketching murals, tattoo stencils and lettering
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a photo, take a new one or choose a template
2. Hold your phone 20–40 cm above the paper. A stand, a stack of books or a tall glass keeps it steady
3. Lock the image in place and trace
SMART OUTLINES
Turn any photo into clear lines to follow. On-device subject detection removes the background and outlines your subject, and a detail slider lets you choose between bold shapes and fine detail.
CHOOSE THE PARTS
Paint over just the face, the flower or the logo you want, and outline only that.
STEP BY STEP
Don't see the whole picture at once. Start with the main shapes, then add features and fine detail one step at a time. New lines are highlighted so you always know what to draw next.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED WHILE TRACING
• Opacity slider to balance the image and your paper
• Move, pinch-zoom and rotate the image
• Lock to stop accidental moves
• Flip, flashlight and grid
• The screen stays awake while you draw
SHARE YOUR WORK
Take a photo of the finished drawing or record a time-lapse of the whole session, then save or share it.
TEMPLATES
Original flowers, letters and mandalas to practise with.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
