Why trace Itachi?

Itachi is a intermediate-level character to draw: the calm half-lidded eyes and the two long tear-trough lines down the face define him more than anything else. Trace it a few times, then redraw without the overlay — that last rep is where it actually clicks.

Trace Itachi in 5 steps

  1. Find a clean Itachi reference. Grab a front-facing shot with the Sharingan eyes clearly drawn. 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 Itachi 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 Itachi 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 Itachi

  • Get the long crease lines under each eye right — they are the fastest way to read the drawing as Itachi.
  • The Sharingan pattern (three commas around the pupil) needs to be even; trace it slowly rather than freehanding it.
  • His hair frames the face in two long curtains — trace those framing shapes before the inner strands.

Itachi — frequently asked questions

Is tracing Itachi cheating?

No — tracing is a time-tested way to learn. Tracing Itachi Uchiha 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 Itachi?

Use a front-facing shot with the Sharingan eyes clearly drawn. 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 Itachi on my phone?

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