Tracing Board | Lightbox

Choose for refining your own sketches and combining permitted references.
Lockable controls and saved boards help keep a reference still while working.
Keep in mind: A screen is not a pressure-resistant physical light table; old system-gesture instructions may differ on current iPadOS.
