About Draw Anime: AR Sketch & Trace
Draw anime on real paper, even if your lines never come out right.
Hold your phone above your sketchbook and the reference appears on the page through the camera. Follow it with a pencil. Your hand does the work, so the skill stays with you after the phone is put away.
Built Around Anime
The library is organised the way anime artists actually learn, by part and by style rather than by character:
- Eyes, from sharp shonen to soft shoujo
- Hair, including spikes, braids and motion strands
- Faces, head angles and construction lines
- Hands, dynamic poses and body proportions
- Chibi and full-body styles side by side
- Expressions, from a small smile to full tears
Four Ways To Get A Reference
- Pick a template from the in-app library
- Import a photo or drawing from your gallery
- Take a photo and convert it to clean line art
- Lock the frame so the reference stays put when your hand bumps the phone
Practice That Actually Builds Skill
Fade the guide as you improve. Start at full opacity, drop it to half once the shapes feel familiar, then switch it off and draw the same subject from memory. Difficulty labels on each template let you move up without guessing.
Record And Share
Record the drawing as you go and export a time-lapse of the whole piece. Save finished work to your own gallery inside the app.
Tools
- Opacity, zoom, rotate and mirror controls
- Frame lock and reference reset
- Flashlight for drawing in low light
- Works offline once a template has loaded
- No account needed to start
About The Artwork
Every template in this app is drawn by our own artists in anime and manga style. We do not include characters, logos or artwork belonging to anyone else, and the app is not affiliated with or endorsed by any studio, publisher or rights holder.

Who It Is For
Beginners who want their first anime drawing to look right. Students practising proportion and line control. Anyone who prefers pencil and paper to a stylus.
