SketchCoach is your personal drawing coach. Add your sketch and a reference image, and get specific, actionable feedback pinned exactly where it matters — so you know what to fix and why. Most feedback is vague. "Work on proportions" doesn't help. SketchCoach points to the exact spot on your drawing and tells you what's off and how to improve it — like having a patient mentor look over your shoulder. HOW IT WORKS • Add your sketch and a reference you were drawing from • SketchCoach analyzes both and pins feedback right on your drawing • Tap any pin to read a clear, specific tip • Track your progress as your sketches improve over time COACHING THAT FITS YOU Choose a coaching tone that matches how you like to learn — from gentle encouragement to direct, no-nonsense critique. The feedback adapts to you. BUILT FOR PRACTICE Whether you're learning figure drawing, studying perspective, or just sketching for fun, SketchCoach gives you the focused feedback that actually moves your skills forward.
