Trace Anything

Do you need a bit of help to improve your drawing skills? The Trace Anything app uses your cell phone camera to superimpose images over your drawing

Tool for overlaying images on drawings

Trace Anything is a fantastic tool for Android devices that will allow us to improve our artistic skills. Thanks to its functions we can draw better and learn about compositions and shapes.

A help to draw better

With this app, images are overlaid on a piece of paper so that we can see the image through the phone camera while we draw. This way we can trace the images or look at the shapes to replicate them.

The first thing we need to know before downloading the APK file of this wonderful application is that it's not an image projector. The truth is that cell phones don't have the technology to project images (at least for now).

This means that we will not see the image on paper, but will see it superimposed on the screen through the phone's camera. That's why you have to draw while looking at the screen of your smartphone. To make the process more convenient, the developers advise placing the phone on a tripod, glass or stack of books.

On the other hand, this app also includes a small photo editor that will allow us, among other things, to change the transparency of the image that we want to unhide. The interface may not be the most modern, but the tool is very useful and interesting, and what's more, it's completely free.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 5.0.
• The app offers in-app purchases.
