The default app is a white screen with a brightness control setting. Place your reference picture over the device and begin tracing. Great for tracing drawings and fonts, making stencils, colouring sheets, connect-the-dot's puzzles, etc.
You use the app to search for image references from the internet (using keywords or URL links), or an image from the device storage, or take a photo from the camera. Then place a tracing paper over the image and begin copying.
There is a lock button which will maximize the drawing space, and prevent the device from sleeping.
It's really great for making stencils and to practice drawing with.
Features include: -
- a handy color adjust to change the gray-scale of the picture for better tracing contrasts.
- pan, rotate, zoom the drawing references.
- button to toggle rotate on and off
- buttons to save and share the drawing references for the future.
The app is suitable for artists, students as well as casual users including retirees to do art and craft.
