Tracing: Drawing Practice

Import a reference image, trace its outlines and paint on separate layers.

Our take

Useful for focused drawing practice

A fixed three-layer workflow keeps reference, lines and color distinct.

Keep in mind: No evidence of advanced brushes, vector export or production color management; tracing an image does not grant rights to redistribute it.

What you can do

  • Photos/Files reference intake
  • Reference zoom/scale/rotation
  • Separate trace and paint layers

Good for

  • Learners practicing with their own or authorized references

Consider alternatives for

  • A full professional illustration suite or licence to copy any image

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 18.6.
  • No evidence of advanced brushes, vector export or production color management; tracing an image does not grant rights to redistribute it.

Privacy & permissions

Reference photos can be personal; grant limited library access and inspect any file/cloud destinations.
