Tracery lays a picture over your paper so you can trace it

Tracery shows a photo on screen over a real sheet of paper, so you can trace it with your own pencil, using the camera or AR. It can turn a photo into a clean outline first. It was #18 among paid Graphics & Design apps on the US App Store on 3 November.
