## What is sketch.AR?

Turn your iPhone or iPad into an AR drawing projector. Trace any photo onto paper, canvas, or wall — like having a modern camera lucida in your pocket. See your reference overlaid on the surface in real time. Just trace the lines and watch your art come to life.

sketch.AR uses augmented reality to project any image onto your drawing surface in real time. Just sketch over the guidelines — it's like connecting the dots, but for real art.

WHY ARTISTS & BEGINNERS LOVE sketch.AR

• AR TRACING — Project any photo onto paper and trace the outlines directly. Perfect for portraits, landscapes, lettering, and complex compositions.

• TIME-LAPSE RECORDING — Record your entire drawing process as a video. The AR reference lines are hidden in the final export — only your strokes remain. Ready for TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube.

• ZOOM FOR DETAIL — Pinch to zoom into the AR view. Capture every tiny detail with precision normally impossible by eye.

• BUILT-IN TEMPLATES — Start tracing immediately with dozens of built-in templates. Animals, landscapes, portraits, anime, lettering — pick one and begin drawing in seconds.

• BEGINNER FRIENDLY — No drawing experience needed. The AR overlay guides every stroke onto your paper. Perfect for absolute beginners getting started and experienced artists refining complex compositions.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Draw a small rectangle (anchor point) on the edge of your paper
2. Point your camera at the anchor until a green overlay confirms tracking
3. Choose any photo from your library or use a built-in template
4. Position and scale the image onto your drawing area
5. Trace the outlines while viewing through your screen
6. (Optional) Record a time-lapse and share your process
