My goal for developing PoseBook 3D was to create a self controlled tool for artists to practice their construction and rotation of heads. Not only will it be a great tool to give you a better understanding of how forms move in space, but it will teach you how to draw the same head in multiple angles. Another great use of this app is for painters who wish to use it as lighting reference for shadows. Two of my greatest teachers in life were Andrew Loomis and George Bridgman.They taught me through their work the importance of rotating forms in space and this is why we have created the first app to offer a variety of character heads created by a variety of artists with different styles. PoseBook 3D gives you full rotation and lighting control and can be used on the go. This app will guide the artist in developing a better understanding of construction, tilts and perspective of the forms as long as you put it to continuous use. It is ideal for creating your own characters. For additional tutorials and videos, please visit https://www.youtube.com/silvertoons Enjoy, Silver

If you want to learn perspective drawing and you’re willing to break some rules, then you need to check out ZOLLY! One of the most effective ways to draw with dynamic perspective is to play with its extremes… close and far contrasts can make your images exciting. The main purpose of this app is to heighten your awareness that position and proximity makes all the difference in how objects appear. Zolly Key Features: View tons of ready-made models to tackle both basic and advanced perspective challenges. Take total control of the camera to get the exact view and perspective distortion you’re looking for. Use grid lines, ground planes, and low-poly models to help you understand perspective. Primitive models that ease you into more complex forms, with edges and lines that can be turned on and off to better understand the underlying perspective. A perfect tool to go with the Proko Perspective course. Why ZOLLY? There's a technique in film called a Dolly Zoom (ZOLLY) where you can zoom in while moving the camera back which keeps an object the same size. It’s a trip and it's been used in movies like Jaws and Vertigo to make iconic moments. This app also allows you to play with the same mind-bending effect to see how position and proximity change everything! And the fun part? You can even experiment with other viewpoints and effects that you couldn’t pull off with a physical camera using ZOLLY. Zolly was designed to help you practice various forms in perspective, from simple and advanced primitive shapes, to more complex objects like vehicles and buildings. Draw from orthographic view, to extreme views, to anything in between. Manipulate forms in space with surprising viewpoints through a virtual camera, to expand your imagination, and prompt you to use perspective daringly as you play with form and space in your drawings.The goal for many artists is to push past the predictable and into the impossible. Stretch space. Stretch your mind. And yeah, stretch your art with ZOLLY.
