Tracing: Drawing Practice

Trace is a simple drawing app that lets you import photos, images and files as references, then trace and paint over them.

One of Trace’s key features is its three-layer structure: the Reference Layer, Trace Layer and Paint Layer.

You can trace outlines while viewing your reference image, then add colour on the Paint Layer to complete your artwork. By separating each stage into its own layer, Trace keeps the drawing process clear, simple and easy to manage.

The Reference Layer supports zooming, resizing and rotation, giving you the freedom to adjust the size and angle of your reference image to suit your composition.

As well as importing images from your photo library, Trace also supports importing image files, giving you more flexibility when choosing reference material.
