Turn your phone into a drawing projector. Point the camera at a sheet of paper, and DrawArt overlays any picture right where you draw — then just trace it. DRAW ANYTHING, EVEN IF YOU HAVE NEVER DRAWN BEFORE • Pick from a growing library of outlines: anime, chibi, pets, flowers, food, cars, portraits, landscapes and more • Use your own photo from your gallery or straight from the in-app browser — DrawArt turns it into clean outlines on your device • Describe what you want and let AI draw the outline for you BUILT SO YOUR REFERENCE NEVER MOVES Most tracing apps lose your alignment the moment your hand brushes the screen. DrawArt fixes that: • Lock image — freeze the overlay so an accidental touch can't shift it • Lock focus — stop the camera from re-focusing mid-drawing • Flashlight and proportion grid, one tap away on the drawing toolbar • Four setup guides: phone stand, propped against an object, handheld, or under a glass surface LEARN, DON'T JUST TRACE • Step-by-step lessons grouped into courses, matched to your level • Switch to camera projection at any step • A free lesson every day KEEP AND SHARE WHAT YOU MAKE • Record a time-lapse of your drawing and share it to TikTok, Instagram, X or Facebook • Colour your outlines right in the app — free and unlimited • Everything you make lives in your gallery ALSO ON THE WEB Open DrawArt in your laptop or tablet browser and turn the screen into a light box — lay tracing paper over it and draw. No phone stand needed. FREE AND PRO Free every day: 3 camera tracings, 1 lesson, unlimited colouring, and the whole outline library to browse.
