User Stories and Comments
The following are comments left about Art Tracer from site visitors such as yourself. They are not spell checked or reviewed for accuracy.
Sketch A Graph was a product of Australia from the late 1970s. In earlier times, they were known as electric drawing sets, which resembled drafting kits, allowed you to trace different images. Drawing sets go back to the 1940s. In antique stores, I found a Bugs Bunny set from 1947. Also as notable, a 1969 "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" set by Lakeside Toys, which had several dozen character and prop images to trace. The electrical sets used a light bulb to help the "artist" along.
