About Quick Poses: Gesture Drawing
Quick Poses is an app to help artists train their drawing skills by simulating a real world academic life drawing sessions.
Select your pose duration and a bunch of photo galleries and you are ready to go!
With Quick Poses, you can easily train your drawing skills, especially anatomy drawing. The purpose of this exercise is about trying to find the essence of the pose within the time constraint of the pose duration. Each time the pose duration expired, a new pose is presented so you can try again. At the end of each session, a summary is displayed. Use it to see how good you did this time.
As you train, you'll be able to check your improvements over time in the history section. This section keeps track of all your past sessions.
This exercise is called "gesture drawing" and it is a great way to develop your skills at observing, simplifying and making your drawings more dynamic. It is also very good for warming you up before any long drawing sessions.
A brief overview of the available features:
• Configure your poses duration to your liking from 5s to infinity.
• Control your session total duration by limiting the number of poses if needed.
• Add a warmup delay at the beginning of each pose so it gives you time to prepare (eg. get a new sheet of paper if you practice using traditional medium).
• Use your favorite Apple Pencil™ directly in the app if you want. You can then analyse your drawings at the end of each session.
• For longer poses, you can use your full artistic power by displaying the tool picker with more tools and colors at your disposal.
• When you draw side by side, choose the side you prefer whether you are left-handed or right-handed.
• Use iPad multi-tasking to draw in your favorite drawing app if you feel more confortable that way.
• Seven galleries provided by default with the application to practice on various subjects (people, animals).
• Add your own galleries using the Files app (see documentation included in the app for details).
• Choose whether to display your poses in a specific order or randomly.
• Analyse your progress over time with the history screen where you can see all your previous session results.
• Export your best drawings to show them to your friends or teachers, or to finish them in your favorite drawing app.
• Your privacy is important, and none of your data leaves the application.
