Draw in the air and watch your art float in the real world. Draw in Air turns the space around you into a 3D canvas: paint flowing lines, drop objects and text, then walk around your creation and see it from every angle. PAINT IN REAL SPACE Move your finger and a line appears in front of you, anchored in the real world. Step back, lean in, circle around it — your art stays where you left it. FOUR WAYS TO CREATE Color Lines — smooth 3D strokes in bold solid colors, with brush shapes and tapered or rounded ends Gradient Lines — 30 vivid gradients with real surface finishes: glazed ceramic, mirror chrome, glass, brushed metal and flat cartoon outlines Texture Ribbons — glowing, fiery trails that face you 3D Objects & Text — drop shapes, imported models and 3D lettering into your scene, with reflective metal and chrome surfaces SPINNING CANVAS Set a rotation axis anywhere in the room and your drawing turns around it like a potter's wheel. Hold still and the motion alone draws perfect circles; move slowly for spirals, rings and vases you could never draw by hand. Control speed and direction with a slider — and every canvas keeps spinning on its own, even after you move on to the next one. SNAP TO SURFACES Turn on 3D Snap and your strokes and objects land precisely on real floors, tables and walls instead of floating in mid-air. NO SKILLS NEEDED There's nothing to learn. A few strokes in the air already look amazing. Adjust line width with a single slider, undo a stroke, or clear everything and start fresh. CLEAN VIDEO & PHOTO EXPORT Capture your creation with the live camera view — and nothing else. No buttons, no watermark. Record full-length video with sound from your microphone so you can narrate as you draw, or grab a still photo. Everything saves straight to your library, ready for TikTok, Reels or Stories.
