ClearPanes teaches the fundamentals of portrait work by utilising a fully interactive 3D model that can be rotated and interacted with. A contemporary way of studying simple plane techniques based on the approach of Loomis and Bridgman. FROM COMPLEXITY TO CLARITY - Strip the noise away and focus on the big forms behind any portrait. - Learn the method and stop the guesswork and see your drawings improve. - Start with basic building blocks that build refined anatomical shapes. - A fully dynamic tool with multiple levels to compare with split screen view, stacked levels, and an overlay mode to see the basic planes beneath any face. -nRotate and find the perfect view to master any angle in ways photo reference alone cannot achieve. For artists, by an artist - Handcrafted models by Gusztav Velicsek, built with intention and care. ONE PURCHASE. YOURS FOR LIFE. - No subscriptions. Buy once, and future updates are included. FOR BEGINNERS AND WORKING ARTISTS - Whether you are trying to learn the basics or perfect your craft. Download ClearPlanes and improve your portrait work today.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GraphMath at none against ClearPlanes's 1. GraphMath also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
