Drawvia: Trace & Sketch

Drawvia helps you draw a picture on real paper by tracing it through your phone's camera.

Pick an image, place your phone above a sheet of paper, and you will see the picture on top of the live camera view. Follow the lines with your pencil, and the drawing appears on your paper. It is a simple way to practice proportions and outlines, sketch a gift for someone, or finally draw that character you love.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose a picture: a template, a photo from your gallery, a new photo, or an image you search for in the app.
2. Place your phone on a cup or a stand, about 20–30 cm above the paper.
3. Adjust the picture, lock it, and trace the lines on your paper.
