Awesome (Of I could figure it out)

I’m trying to understand. Maybe there are tools under the ad bar? I can’t tell if this is to help me draw or how to start. I can’t tell adjust the squares etc. but then what?

Best App

Absolutely incredible highly highly highly recommend

Absolutely Brilliant

No other grid app shows the shading grade that I have found. This app is a game changer.

Outstanding

As a hobbyist artist I’ve always admired the work of Dylan, and been intrigued by his process. This app has allowed me to understand this better and tailor my approach to how I start a drawing. I’m on with a project now and I think the results are impressive so far. Whilst this app won’t have you drawing hyper realistically immediately it should give you the basis to start improving drawing by drawing. Thanks for creating this 😊
