Drawing starts with seeing

See it.
Trace it.
Make it yours.

Tracey helps beginners move from a blank page to a confident first line—with camera guides, adjustable outlines and lessons that explain what to look for.

01 Reference meets paper

Not an empty canvas.

Not a rigid tutorial.

A gentle way into drawing.

From reference to real paper

Three small steps.
One drawing you made.

  1. 01

    Choose

    Start with a Tracey reference, a public-domain image or a photo from your own library.

  2. 02

    Shape

    Turn the image into a simple or detailed outline. Adjust its opacity, size and line weight.

  3. 03

    Trace

    Place your phone on a stable stand and follow the guide on paper at your own pace.

Camera Studio

A guide that bends to your hand.

Make outlines bolder, quieter, simpler or more detailed. Keep the camera view open and the controls out of your way.

Tracey Academy

Learn why the line goes there.

Lessons build from gesture and simple forms to proportions, features and finishing details—not just one copied piece after another.

Your work stays yours

Personal photos are processed on your device and are never added to the public reference library.
