Stabilize The Phone First
The phone should stay still while you draw. A simple stand, stack, or holder is enough. The important part is keeping the paper and camera aligned.
Choose Clean References
Busy images make tracing difficult. Start with a clear subject, simple background, and visible outline. Flowers, pets, anime faces, and simple objects usually work well.
Trace Structure, Then Finish By Hand
Use AR guidance to place the first outline, then reduce reliance on the overlay. Add details, texture, and shading by hand so the drawing becomes practice instead of only copying.
Practice Checklist
- Place paper on a steady desk.
- Set the phone above the paper.
- Open a clean reference.
- Trace the largest lines first.
- Finish details by hand.
