Sketchwise vs Tracebee

Sketchwise turns any photo into a step-by-step drawing lesson built for you, then coaches you through it stroke by stroke. HOW IT WORKS Pick a reference photo, a face, a pet, a building, anything you want to draw. Sketchwise studies it and builds a custom lesson broken into clear construction stages, each with its own guide image showing exactly what to put on the page. Draw each stage on real paper. Snap it. Get specific feedback on what is working and what to fix before you move on. A GUIDE IMAGE FOR EVERY STAGE No vague advice. Every step comes with a generated guide showing the shapes, proportions, contours, shading, or details for that stage, so you always know what the page should look like before you commit a line. FEEDBACK AS YOU GO, NOT JUST AT THE END Each step is reviewed on its own. You get a score, a short summary, the corrections that matter, and one clear next action. Mistakes get caught at stage two instead of surviving to the finished drawing. A SCORED FINAL REPORT Finish a lesson and get a full breakdown, proportions, shading, accuracy and more, each scored and explained, plus what you did well and what to focus on next time. CHOOSE YOUR STYLE AND LEVEL Pencil sketch, manga, watercolor, realistic graphite or cartoon, at beginner, intermediate or advanced. The same photo becomes a different lesson depending on what you pick. BUILT FOR REAL PAPER This is not a digital canvas. Use whatever you have, pencil, pen, notebook, sketchbook, and build skills that stay with you when the phone is away. TRACK REAL PROGRESS Finished drawings are saved to your gallery, and every completed lesson earns XP and builds your streak. Progress you can actually see, instead of a vague sense that you are getting better. DRAW TOGETHER Pin a finished drawing to the community wall, praise great lines, proportions and shading, and draw along with any drawing you like. Start a challenge to draw the same subject as your friends: compare the drawings side by side, vote, and see the People's choice and the Coach's pick. Friends can vote on the web, no app needed. TRY IT FREE Sample lessons, including five quick four-step ones, are free, with a guide image for every stage and an AI review of your drawing once a day, up to three times a month.
