Draw Anime: AR Sketch & Trace

Anime drawing with an AR guide

Draw Anime: AR Sketch & Trace helps beginners and hobby artists copy anime-style outlines onto paper using the phone’s camera. Set the device above your drawing surface, choose a guide, and use the projected image to work on proportions, shapes, and details while sketching by hand. It suits users who want a more direct starting point than drawing from a blank page.

Trace templates or use your own image

The app includes anime and manga-style drawing guides, with options aimed at different skill levels. It can also turn personal photos into simplified outlines, giving you another way to practise or create a reference. Controls for opacity and zoom help adjust how strongly the guide appears and how much of the image is visible on the page.

Useful for practice and process tracking

Draw Anime: AR Sketch & Trace is built around repeated sketching rather than one-click image creation. You can use the overlays to study placement and proportions, then develop the drawing with your own lines and shading. Process recording is also available for reviewing how a piece came together or sharing a time-lapse of the work.
