The portable tracing device comprises a housing and at least one light source. The housing includes a plurality of panels configured together to define an interior volume thereof. Further, at least one panel of the plurality of panels is cut to configure at least one window to secure at least one light transmissible panel thereon for providing a support to the picture paper sheet and the plain paper sheet.
