## What is Sketchpad?

Turn any picture into a pencil drawing on real paper with augmented reality!

Whether you are a beginner learning how to sketch, an anime fan tracing favorite characters, or a creator looking for a portable art projector, Sketchpad Pro makes physical drawing effortless. Prop your phone above paper, look through the screen, and follow the lines.

TWO POWERFUL CREATIVE MODES:

1. AR CAMERA TRACING (DRAW ON REAL PAPER)
• Project outlines directly onto paper, canvas, or wood using your device camera.
• Import any portrait, pet photo, or landscape from your camera roll and turn it into a line stencil.
• Access a curated catalog of anime, manga, tattoo designs, aesthetic outlines, and beginner sketches.
• Pro tracing controls: Adjust line opacity, flip images, lock the screen to prevent accidental movement, and toggle the flashlight for low-light tracing.

2. DIGITAL STUDIO (DRAW & COLOR ON SCREEN)
• Blank Canvas: Full-featured digital sketchpad with pencil, pen, marker, and eraser tools.
• Coloring Templates: Relax with intricate line-art designs featuring smooth pinch-to-zoom and precision flood fill.
• Layered Gallery: Save your artwork locally and export high-resolution drawings anytime.

HOW TO TRACE ON PAPER:
1. Place your iPhone or iPad on a cup, stand, or tripod over your paper.
2. Select a stencil from the library or import a photo from your camera roll.
3. Lock the position, adjust transparency, and turn on the flashlight if needed.
4. Follow the projected outlines on your screen with a pencil or pen on your paper.

No complicated setup or account registration required. Pick a sketch, set up your paper, and start drawing today!
