  • Having to pay has to go

    I see you have to pay for some drawing lessons but it’s all the good ones I can’t learn to draw if I have to pay I might as well use the money on another more useful app your prices are way too high and too many things are labeled pro I would like to use this app without having to pay for items unless it’s limited addition or something of other I will not waste my money on something that’s not even cheap and has almost all the lessons under the subscription I cannot afford this especially during school and focusing on choosing a college I would not be able to pay once I do so please reconsider the amount of lessons that aren’t free

  • I like it but I have a problem

    I don’t have the money to do a subscription, and a few weeks ago when I started too use the app. And draw, the pop up for asking if u wanted too do a subscription came up. And I would click no and it would kick me out of the drawing session.

    And I got really annoyed. Cause this app is helping me draw bodies in good proportions. But now that that keeps happening I stopped using it. If there’s a way to fix it I would love that

  • Phone placement makes no sense.

    You’re expected to hold the phone super close to your face with one hand, since it needs to see the whole paper, not just where I’m drawing. Idk if it allows you to rotate the paper, but I didn’t try due to it being hard enough to hold the position. Being unable to rotate the paper is a problem, since that’s just part of drawing in general. No instructions on how one might try to hold this and draw at the same time. Maybe you’re supposed to buy a tripod of some kind first. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Too physically uncomfortable to be worth it.

  • Awesome app!

    Today I just got this app and after I drew one of my own drawings the subscription thing kept popping up whenever I went to draw my own image. I myself don’t want to pay for own image or any of that I just want to draw my own images that I want to. And all of those other people who use it are probably not wanting to spend a lot of money on this app. I’m only 14 and I use drawing apps like this one and it helps me to draw better than ever so if you could work on lowering the money to whatever is possible ( I know y’all need to make money and things) Btw I like this app!!

  • Great for Quarantine

    I found this app last night when I was searching for something to teach me how to draw better. I am thrilled this exists and can’t believe I’ve been on my iPad Pro for five years and never found an app like this.

    What can I say; it’s like having an art class, except you’re in quarantine. Totally worth the 20 bucks. If you really wanna learn how to draw it’s worth the 20 bucks. If you already know what you’re doing and you understand basic shapes, then it’s not worth the 20 bucks because you can already do that. I am very happy and can’t wait to sit down and draw again today.

    Now that doesn’t mean this is just for beginners. This app can do a lot more than what I just said and you should probably go read other peoples reviews but for my purposes this is pretty awesome.

  • Needs Work

    This is a really cool idea and I love the idea of being able to upload your own photos and trace them. For me this helped with getting command of the tablet pen because I’m used to Wacom tablets which have more traction under the pen rather than gliding straight across, which made the pen harder for me to handle. I used this to help me gain confidence in drawing circles and lines evenly with this glossy surface. For that it served its purpose alright. But the problem is that, at least as a left handed user, the way the drawing page is set up is frustrating. For instance, I was constantly bumping the back button and would exit the thing I was drawing partway through and not be able to finish it. Also, any time I drew in a horizontal line, the opacity for the tracing paper would increase or decrease when I was trying to make the line. This would constantly pop up no matter what angle I had it at. It was very hard to press in such a way it would not trigger this pop up. This should not be something that can be triggered by the pen at all, only the button on the right side. This was just really frustrating honestly. I did manage to complete a sketch and it was nice. But I just feel like the placement and triggering for things needs to be reconsidered.

  • It needs lots of work.

    Use this app because I love drawing, but it has a whole lot of issues. Number one where am I supposed to put the Phone, I understand this app is mostly for adults but, I a 12 year old can’t draw with one hand. Number two I can’t draw with my window open, the lights have too be on for the Image to show correctly. Three is I am a kid, I don’t have enough money too pay for Subscription, and All the free stuff is just cartoons and hard detailed stuff. I find that there’s no Medium level free stuff. I understand that You tried hard on this but it’s not that good. Fourth is that it takes a few minutes for it to detect the paper, and I have pretty ok lighting. I’ve tried to draw even on my wall but it doesn’t work because I cannot Hold the paper, I hate that fact. I’ve grown up drawing always holding the paper with one hand so this bugs me a bunch. I got this app yesterday and All these problems and I’ve seen more problems than these, I would be happy if you explained how to use the app more. I haven’t drawn one thing yet because of the angles and my messy one hand drawings. I understand apps like this take quite a long time to perfect but Your app is kinda on the correct level, just going the wrong way. Anyways! thank you for reading this review!

  • Love this app! But one thing :/

    So I am a really good artist and I’m kinda young too but I thought I needed practice so I decided I would download a app to maybe give me a little more help with some things. And I came across this app! So I downloaded it and found a cool looking lesson so I clicked on it and clicked on AR. I don’t know if you had to buy AR.? But I tried to click on paper and it didn’t work. So I clicked on it like 3 or 4 more times, still nothing. So I tried to click the back arrow, it didn’t work. So I had to exit out the app.. I love this app so much but I would love it even more if I could do AR.. So please!! Fix this glitch! Or just tell me if you have to buy pro to click paper.😂 So please help me out here please ❤️❤️

  • Creative

    I love the creativity. Some feedback about it though is the practicality of such a set up. I’m sure the developers are working on it. I have a small gimbal so that I could have my hands free to draw easily, but the distance from the camera to the paper is far so there is obstruction to actually freely draw since I have to look through my iPhone has the viewfinder. Another issue I kept running into is that as soon as I place my hand within the frame to start drawing the focus of the guides are distorted because the camera needs to fully see the frame of the paper. Again the developers probably see the drawback and there are more updates to come from Apple for ARkit to for better detection. Overall I love the idea of this app and I hope that it develops even more! As of right now the simplest way is to literally just draw the outlines of an image yourself.

    P.s.

    I also love how the drawing process is step by step so that is very intuitive!

  • Wow

    I downloaded this app because of the YouTuber jazza and I didn’t have nearly as much trouble as him with the tracking but, I am under 16 I don’t have a job so the fact that I don’t have the richest parents that buy me everything means that I couldn’t use this app to do all the cool things everyone else can it would be a higher and shorter rating if there was more unlocked like the anime characters celebrities even the cats are locked it’s ridiculous
