Tracing Projector is your personal portable drawing and composition tool.
Having Tracing Projector is like always having a sheet of tracing paper with you! Choose any image you'd like to draw, take a photo, or choose from hundreds of images supplied in the app; then look at your screen while you trace the image on paper!
- Learn to Draw! Learn proportions and important lines by tracing photos of anything! Use several filters to enhance your photo, making it easier to trace.
- Make real one-of-a-kind artwork you can hang on your wall! Send unique greetings on social media! Friends and family will love to see your animated drawings!
- Show off your skills! Record a video while you draw and share it on your favorite social network. Your friends will be amazed! Choose from time-lapse and regular speeds, and include a narrative if you want to.
- Great for face painting or artistic makeup!
- Great for school projects! Need to draw an image from a book on a poster? Trace it!
- Kick-start your painting or portrait! Transfer your idea from a photo to your drawing canvas to get the proportions right.
- Match the Composition! Transfer your plan from a sketch to the scrapbook page or photo wall!
- Challenge yourself to sketch the essence of the image before the timer runs out! Focus on composition and structure. Freehand the fine details afterward, or disable Quick Sketch and trace them directly. (Disabling requires a one-time purchase.)
Several tools make it really easy to trace your image:
- Light Table - lock your screen, turn up the brightness, and trace the image from your screen directly!
- Handheld Mode -- On supported devices, Augmented Reality keeps your tracing image steady while you hold your device at a comfortable angle. (demo video https://youtu.be/YJeK5Sjdi1Q). Requires iOS 11.3 or later on iPhone 6s/6s Plus or iPad Pro and later. Works best on stable horizontal and vertical surfaces with good light and some visible surface detail.
- Lock the camera focus to keep the image steady while you trace.
- Lock the canvas area to keep your layout and alignment while you zoom in to get a close look at your work in progress.
- Several Filter modes enhance your image, increasing contrast to give you a better result.
- Use the flashlight to light up your drawing. (requires Full Version)
- Use the selfie camera and draw on your face. (requires Full Version)
Other features make it fun and easy to share your creations with your friends.
- Video recording in Time Lapse mode to make things smaller and faster and cooler. You can enable normal-speed and audio on the Settings screen.
- The recorded video or snapshot includes a small thumbnail of the tracing image (with an option to turn that off).
- Your videos and snapshots are stored automatically and available to share later from within the app, the Files app, or iTunes.
- Sharing your videos and photos is easy with a preview screen and saved photos/videos!
- Interrupted while recording your drawing? No problem - Combine multiple videos to create a single video for sharing! Use the Edit feature on the Saved Files screen: select two movies and tap Join.
Tracing Projector is Enhanced For 3D Touch! Start right away from the camera or photo album from the home screen! Force-touch on the tracing image to peek at your progress while you draw!
Notes:
- For best results, stabilize your device above your drawing surface. A stack of books, drinking glass, or tripod works best.
- The app requires access to your camera in order to present its overlay for drawing.
- The app requires access to your photos in order to load an image to trace and to save the video of your drawing.
- The app optionally uses your microphone when recording a video while you draw.

Shaky image and stretched images
Image shakes in both handheld and tripod mode.
The image aspect ratio is not correct, it’s slightly stretched vertically, so images will never look as in your screen.
Are you planning to fix these issues?
When is this app gonna get an update?
horrible
when you go into handheld mode, there’s a option where you can lock your screen before you draw so the image doesn’t move. IT DOESNT WORK!! the image still moves after “locking” the screen!
No
fr this app is crap, it only lets u draw for 3 minutes, then u have to pay for it.
Not free
You get three minutes for free after that you pay
Moves around
You start drawing then the image moves around so its not lined up anymore. I was excited to use this, now really disappointed. Probably only works with a tripod, so you can’t use large images or large surfaces.
There are flaws
This app is really amazing but only when using the light desk mode, I have an older type phone so luckily I don’t use touch
Screen to go home! But over all the app is amazing if you don’t have your own light tracing pad, and it’s really easy to learn drawig techniques while tracing!!
Gooooooood
I don’t know why people hate this app. It’s really good and know I can draw what I want
5 Star

Crap
