- Drawing tutorials step by step:
If you don't have a paper to try out our main feature, you can practice via a new drawing tool. The distinguishing feature is that the app gives you the right tool at each stage when you need it (a pencil, a marker or a brush). A time-lapse of your work will automatically be saved in the app profile. You can share your achievements with friends.
If you want to draw on big surfaces such as a wall or large canvas, you have to use a smartphone with ARCore.
For other smartphones, SketchAR will work correctly only on an A4/A5 size of paper.
