Productivity Free Hesham Wahba iPhone, iPad, iPod

Please note the full version has had a major update!!! Get it while it is hot :)

This is the Lite version of Tracing Paper. It contains all the features of the paid version except for:
- can create only *THREE* traces at a time in the app, you can always delete old ones if you want to create more
- can't save or export your pictures outside of the app or share your traces using email, PDF, Twitter, Facebook, photo gallery, Open in..., Copy to Clipboard or printing

Please enjoy!

Tracing Paper is a simple yet elegant universal application for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch that helps you practice and improve your drawing and sketching skills by giving you a blank translucent canvas with a clean and simple grid on which you can trace anything you wish as often as you like. I believe it will be great for anyone who enjoys drawing or for kids that just want to play around!

After choosing a photo from your library you can adjust its size and location under the canvas using your fingers to pinch to rotate/zoom and one finger to drag it around, then you just trace and shade whatever you wish using your finger. If you make a mistake simply choose the eraser tool and erase your mistake (also, you can use the eraser creatively to help add details in ways that are different from simply drawing), or if you want more accuracy than an eraser there is undo/redo support for up to 8 actions. For those hard to see details zoom, rotate or pan the canvas in for further detail by simply pinching the canvas or using two fingers and dragging to move! For those details where we want the colors to really pop there is now support for coloring and changing the pencil size to draw larger or smaller details as needed! For those moments where you want to quickly fill a region, there is now flood fill support, just press the bucket tool and click in an enclosed region to fill in.

After you are done, wow the world and save your masterpiece to your Photo Library or share it via Email, Facebook, Twitter, PDF or even copy to the clipboard or use open-with to open it in compatible programs to touch it up!

Tracing Paper features:
• Super-smooth drawing with proprietary OpenGL-based rendering engine
• 2 pencil styles
• Support for tracing any photo from your device’s photo album
• Gallery mode to browse to create/load/edit your traces
• Shading support just like a real pencil, draw over the same area multiple times to shade it darker
• Changing brush size to help draw or shade larger areas
• Zooming, rotating and panning of the image to trace to focus on the details that matter (pinch to zoom/rotate, two fingers to pan)
• Flood Fill
• Undo/redo up to 12 actions
• Saving your creations to your Photo library
• Sending your traces via email, Facebook, Twitter, Open-with for other programs
• Export to PDF
• Open With... support to open trace in other programs

Reviews

Please update
Sloan Luckie

I loved the app and used it all the time, but it needs to be updated for me to play it again. Please update it.


Nothing Free

This app states that you can create one trace at a time. But the app does not tell you is that you can not save it. This is a really cool app on the other hand.


Just okay

I like the idea of this app, but I wish the drawings had more of an aesthetic to them. They look a little too "little kid" like, you can see it even in the example drawings on the app page. If you look at the Zen Brush app, you'll find that the lines are really beautiful. I don't know how they do it, but please copy it! I would give it 4 or 5 stars for sure if you were able to do this.
