Drawing app: learn to draw. DrawRabbit teaches you to draw animals with a real pencil on real paper. A narrated pencil draws each line on screen, tells you where it goes and why, then waits while you draw it too. PICK YOUR ANIMAL Start with the animal you love: rabbits, fish, dogs, owls, sharks, axolotls, cats, whales, horses or dragons. Each one is its own world, a story told in drawings that get a little harder each time. Follow Pip from the fishbowl to the sea, watch Hazel learn to fly, or draw a dragon from hatchling to king of the mountain. Over 90 guided drawings in all. PENCIL AND PAPER, NOT A SCREEN You never draw on the screen. Prop up your iPad or iPhone, grab a pencil and any paper, and draw along. Every step is short, narrated and anchored to something already on your page, so you always know where the next line goes. Zoom in with the magnifier when the details get fine. FROM SIMPLE SHAPES TO YOUR BEST DRAWING Every drawing starts with shapes you already know, then the outline, clean lines and shading. By the end of a world, the quality of your drawing will surprise you. A PATH TO FOLLOW Your drawings are laid out on a path, world by world. Earn XP, keep your streak going, and watch the first fish, owl or rabbit you draw spring to life when you finish it. YOUR SKETCHBOOK Photograph your finished drawings and keep them in your Journal, so you can look back and see how far you've come. SEND A DRAWING AS A GIFT Proud of a drawing? Wrap it up as a present and send it to someone as a link. They tap to unwrap it, and you'll know the moment they've opened it. MADE FOR IPAD Every screen is designed for iPad as well as iPhone, in portrait or landscape. Stand your iPad up on the table and draw along on the big screen. YOUR FIRST DRAWING IS FREE Draw the first drawing of the animal you pick, free, all the way to the end. DrawRabbit Pro unlocks every drawing in every world, and everything we add after. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.

Turn simple shapes into drawings you can be proud of. Hello Draw helps you get started with step-by-step practice on iPhone and iPad. Choose a subject, explore how its shapes fit together, and bring your own drawing to life. 270 DRAWINGS TO EXPLORE Find 50 drawings in each of five categories: cute animals, cartoons, worlds and scenes, manga, and observational drawing. Every drawing is available to choose independently, so you can follow your curiosity. There are also 20 architecture lessons that teach perspective: rooms, houses, buildings and streets, built with construction lines you draw yourself. If you pause while drawing, the app highlights the section that’s still missing. BUILD YOUR DRAWING STEP BY STEP Start with meaningful, complete shapes. Practice proportions, see how forms overlap, then add the details that give your drawing character. The aim is to understand how a drawing comes together, one stage at a time. CHOOSE HOW YOU PRACTICE Use guided mode for support as you draw. Try HARD mode for freer strokes during each stage, with finishing assistance when you move to the next one. See the shapes you created come to life in color. MAKE ROOM TO EXPERIMENT Zoom in when you need a closer look and undo strokes to try again. Drafts and progress are saved locally, and you can practice offline. The app interface and lesson instructions are available in English and other supported languages. HELLO DRAW PREMIUM The free plan includes a daily number of drawings. Premium removes the daily limit, so you can draw as much as you like, every day. Eligible new subscribers can start with a 7-day free trial. The annual subscription then renews automatically at the price shown in the app unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account.
