AR Drawing

Some apps teach you to draw. AR Drawing straight-up convinces you that you already can.

This clever little mobile app uses your phone’s camera and augmented reality to overlay images onto a real piece of paper. You grab a pencil, trace what you see, and boom — you’ve created a perfect anime face, snarling lion, or double-decker cheeseburger. It’s like having a ghost artist guide your hand, minus the pottery wheel.

There’s a surprisingly massive library to choose from: cars, animals, food, nature scenes, and enough anime to fuel your next ten sketchbooks. You can also record the whole process, which is perfect for flexing on your friends or proving (to yourself) that you actually drew something that looks decent.

The app even includes a built-in flashlight for late-night scribble sessions, and lets you save everything to your personal gallery once your masterpiece is finished. Want to paint it afterward? Go for it. The process is part tracing, part meditation, and weirdly rewarding even if you only ever draw stick figures.

AR Drawing isn’t just about cheating your way into being an artist — it’s a surprisingly powerful tool for learning. After a few days of tracing and coloring, muscle memory starts kicking in. Suddenly, those intimidating shapes and curves start to feel familiar.

For beginners, it’s a confidence boost. For pros, it’s a warmup lap. For everyone in between, it’s just plain fun.
