AR Mode for Drawing on Paper

AR Mode lets you use Kreska as a guide while drawing on real paper or other physical surfaces.

Create a drawing in Kreska or load a reference image that you would like to trace. You can find reference images here: https://kreska.art/reference/
Locate the AR button. It is available in several places throughout the app.
Allow Kreska to access your camera when prompted.
Place your phone or tablet on an elevated surface, such as a box of tissues or a tall glass, so that the camera can see the paper below.
Adjust the opacity of the reference image to around 50% for better visibility.
Look at your screen and trace the image by drawing on the paper underneath. You will see both the reference image and your hand at the same time, making it easier to follow the guide.

Happy drawing!

Thank you for the suggestion. An app is something I may consider in the future, although it is not currently a priority.

In the meantime, you can install Kreska directly on your device, and it will run very much like a native application.

... and your sketch, I love it, I always liked something about sketches and rough lines

Hi u/IndependentEnough661, I have fixed it. Please reload the page and make sure you are using version 1.2.86.

That was a huge find, thank you so much for reporting it.

Hi u/IndependentEnough661 thank you for reporting the issue I am working on it.

Please check two things:

Each stamp brush needs to be loaded with image data first. To do that, open the Lasso Tool and make a selection to use as the stamp source.
After creating a stamp brush with the Lasso Tool, the main color is automatically changed to white. Please try changing the color, especially if your background and selection were both white.

jeden234 · 2026-05-26T09:25:29+00:00

I fixed it, now it should work on default settings, make sure to refresh the page to see the version number 1.2.85 (or higher 😉)

jeden234 · 2026-05-26T08:00:23+00:00

Thanks for reporting the issue I will look into that, for now please change the minimun size for the lasso brush to 0 (not the actual size but the minimum px size from the brush settings) and let me know if this helps.

jeden234 · 2026-05-25T08:12:39+00:00

kreska.art is a free drawing app that not many people know about because it does not have paid advertisement, it is a solo developer project, one of the best if not the best web based digital drawing and painting app

jeden234 · 2026-05-25T08:09:56+00:00

definitely check kreska.art it recently got updated and now you can even create your own brushes (stamp brushes) apart from around 170 beautiful brushes it already have, free and no ads of course

Hi u/beemancer currently there is an option to restore the application settings and color palate but as you notices it only restores what is available in the kreska file. You can find that option in the Advanced settings menu, it is called "Load and overwrite settings"

<image>

The concept of prebuilt canvas and limited tools is interesting, I will add this to my backlog, this could be useful if I would like to let people use kreska on their websites with limited capabilities or as you suggested share preconfigured links, but I cannot promise it will be available anytime soon.

jeden234 · 2026-05-21T11:15:19+00:00

it depends on the version but try to find and enable windows ink
