Why trace Anya?

Anya is a beginner-level character to draw: the huge expressive eyes and the little hair horns are simple to trace and instantly recognizable. Trace it a few times, then redraw without the overlay — that last rep is where it actually clicks.

Trace Anya in 5 steps

  1. Find a clean Anya reference. Grab a front-facing shot with both eyes and the hair "horns" visible. One sharp, high-contrast image traces far better than a busy or blurry one. You use your own image — TraceMate just overlays it.
  2. Open TraceMate and drop it in. Open tracemate.art in your phone browser, allow camera access, and load your Anya image. Nothing to install.
  3. Prop your phone over the paper. Use a stand or a stack of books and aim the camera straight down at your sheet. A steady phone is the secret to clean lines.
  4. Line up and lower the opacity. Pinch to scale and drag to place Anya where you want on the page, then drop the overlay to 30–50% so you can see both the lines and your pencil.
  5. Trace, then redraw freehand. Follow the big shapes first, then the details. Trace it once or twice, then turn the overlay off and redraw from memory — that is how the skill sticks.

Tips for drawing Anya

  • The oversized eyes are the whole character — trace them big, round and far apart, with the star/sparkle highlights.
  • Add the two little pointed hair tufts ("horns") on top; they read as Anya immediately.
  • Keep the head large relative to the body — the chibi-ish proportions are part of the charm.

Anya — frequently asked questions

Is tracing Anya cheating?

No — tracing is a time-tested way to learn. Tracing Anya Forger trains your hand and your eye for the character's proportions; redraw it freehand afterward and the skill transfers.

What reference should I use to draw Anya?

Use a front-facing shot with both eyes and the hair "horns" visible. Pick one clean, high-contrast image — official art or a crisp screenshot works best. You bring your own image; TraceMate only overlays it on your paper.

Can I draw Anya on my phone?

Yes. TraceMate runs right in your phone browser — point the camera at paper, line up your Anya reference, and trace by hand. No app install, and every account gets one free session to try.
