AR Sketch Art turns your iPhone or iPad into a tracing tool. Pick any image, look through the camera and trace it line by line onto real paper. When you want to learn instead of copy, step-by-step lessons guide you from the first line to the finished drawing. Made for anyone who wants to draw New to drawing? Tracing helps you get the shapes and proportions right from the start, so you finish drawings you are proud of. Hobby artists can copy references, make drawings for friends and try new styles. Experienced artists can use it as a quick warm-up or to transfer a sketch onto a new sheet. Key Features: - Choose how you draw: Camera to Draw, Canvas to Draw or Advance AR - Resize, move and rotate the image, then lock it so it stays in place while you draw - Adjust opacity, zoom from 0.5x to 3x, turn on the flash or switch to the outline-only Edge view - Turn your photos into Sketch, Deep Sketch, Anime or Comics styles before you trace them - Learn with step-by-step lessons that build each drawing a few lines at a time - Explore ready-to-trace drawings in themed categories, from cute animals to love and holidays - Draw with a friend: create a room, share the code and each draw half of the same picture - Record a photo, video or time-lapse of your drawing and save it to your Photos How to Get Started: 1. Choose a drawing from the library, or pick a photo from your gallery, Files or camera. 2. Adjust the image: change its opacity, switch to the outline-only Edge view or apply a sketch style. 3. Place your phone on a stable support, about 1 foot (30 cm) above the paper. 4. Look at the screen: the image appears semi-transparent over the camera view of your paper. 5. Follow the lines on the screen with your pencil on the paper.
