Diah Sketch lays your reference over paper, canvas, sketchbooks and walls — so you draw faster and still build real skill. Two ways to do it: map it by hand, or float it over your camera.
Pick the method that fits your surface and your style — both keep you drawing, not measuring.
Map your image with doodles, symbols, numbers and shapes, then sketch it freehand on your surface — building proportion skills as you go.
Point your camera at your surface and trace a floating overlay of your reference — perfect for canvases, sketchbooks and large walls.
Look closely and the doodle map is still there — the numbers, letters and shapes that fixed every proportion before a single line was drawn. That's Diah Scribble Mapping: place a few marks, then draw with confidence and keep building real skill.
Try it on your next drawingEvery feature serves one goal: help you transfer images faster while you keep growing as an artist.
Projects live on your device. Export and back them up as .dsx files and move them between devices. No cloud, no account.
Free-overlay AR keeps your reference in view as you move along a mural — there's no marker to lose when you climb up or down.
Strobe fades the reference out and back so you practise recall, not just tracing — the fastest way to actually improve.
Save your work to share anywhere. Free exports carry a small "Created with Diah Sketch" mark; Pro exports are clean and high-resolution.
The same flow whether you're on a sketchbook page or a two-storey wall.
