ABOUT GESTURE DRAWING PRACTICE
Gesture Drawing Practice is a handy app or figure study tool, which allows you to select your own image collection with different timed figure drawing sessions. The least interval is 30 seconds, but users don’t have to panic if they can’t complete the whole sketch in 30 seconds, it’s impossible. Many artists use a 30 seconds window of time just to enhance their line of action skills, thereby if you just get a single line which defines the flow of energy and pose weight, it’s a success! Gesture Drawing is all about studying anatomy, i.e. the relation of body parts with each other while performing any action.
Select the duration of your art pose and a bunch of quickposes gallery, then you are ready to go! With Gesture Drawing Practice you can boost your figure drawing skills, line of action and most especially anatomy skills. After expiration of pose duration, another random art pose comes up, and you can practice again. Moreover, a summary will be displayed after the end of every session to track your abilities and performance. Users can practice long drawing sessions to add more details in their figure drawing. Building reminders using the reminder feature in app will help you to achieve goals, such as Line of Action skills, anatomy skills, drawing quickposes and effective figure drawing or art pose with the complete essence of figure actions.
