## What is Sketchlight?

Can't draw? You can trace.

Sketchlight turns your phone into a light box. Pick a drawing, point the camera at a sheet of paper, and the outline appears on screen right where your pencil is. Follow the lines. The drawing that ends up on your paper is real, and it's yours to keep.

Tracing happens on real paper, with a real pencil — the phone only holds the guide steady. And on days you'd rather not pick up a pencil, there's a whole coloring book right in the app.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a drawing and a difficulty, shown as one, two or three dots.
2. Prop your phone above the paper with a cup, a tripod or a stack of books.
3. Line the outline up, lock it, and trace at your own pace.
4. Take a photo when you finish and see it next to the original.

FULL CONTROL OF THE GUIDE
Pinch to resize. Drag to move. Rotate and flip. Fade the outline until it sits exactly where you want it, then lock it so a stray finger can't shift your guide halfway through a drawing. Turn on the torch when the room is dim.

MADE FOR SMALL HANDS
Built so kids can run it on their own: large buttons and no menus to read. Difficulty is counted in dots, not written in words, so a child who can't read yet can still choose. No account, no sign-up, no ads anywhere in the app.

WHAT'S INSIDE
Dozens of drawings across five categories — Animals, Chibi, Cute, Food and Kids — at three difficulty levels, from a bunny in a few strokes to a tiger with a lot of them.

COLOR RIGHT ON THE SCREEN
Prefer to color? The Coloring tab is a book of line art to fill in with your finger. Tap an area and it fills with color — the lines stay crisp, so nothing spills over the edges. Choose from 16 hues, each in 7 shades, undo any tap, and your progress is saved so you can come back to a picture later. Some pages are free to start with; the rest come with Pro.

YOUR OWN ALBUM
Every drawing you photograph is kept in the app, so the ones you finished last week are still there. Put your photo side by side with the original to see how close you got, save a copy to your photo library, or share it in one tap.

SKETCHLIGHT PRO
Pro unlocks the premium drawings and coloring pages marked with a crown. Everything else in the app stays free.

Sketchlight Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered as a weekly or a yearly plan. The exact price for your region is shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID settings.

Camera access is required to show the outline over your paper. Saving a drawing to your photo library asks for permission the first time. The app does not upload your photos anywhere.

Prop up your phone, pick up a pencil, and draw something you didn't think you could.

귀여운 일러스트들이 많아서 좋은데 직접 자신의 갤러리에 있는 사진을 넣어 따라그릴수 있게 만들어주시면 더욱 재밌을것 같아요
