Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Good with your own database
I save a LOT of reference pictures, so this app gives an easy way to actually practice using those for gesture studies, or if I’m just not sure what picture I want to study or draw from. I rarely use the direct drawing, I keep it open alongside procreate and draw there. Once I started using this, I never went back to the browser gesture sites since I could use my own personalized ref folders

Hey !

Good start, but needs polish
App is effective as a very basic tool, that is to integrate an image shuffler with a timer in one app.
My Suggestions:
- Smart-shuffle, where the app corrects for images that happen to show up more often than others. Out of a pool of 80 images, I’d notice a handful of images that would just by chance pop up in almost half of my sessions, which may simply be an artifact of pure randomness but could be accounted for, similarly to how the iPod handled shuffle-play after complaints years ago.
- Add to the All Sessions viewer the ability to view all past sessions for a particular image, useful for seeing more noticeable progress over time.
Issues:
- App crashes very frequently when trying to view any past drawing session.
- Few instances where, upon moving on to a new photo, the sketch from the previous photo will remain. I think a quick hot fix would be to include a clear-all button just in case that happens.

Hi Klutonec! 👋 Thanks for your feedback. Your suggestions are very interesting and I'll very likely consider adding them to my future updates. 👍️
About your issues, would you mind contacting me by email at support@quickposes.app with your iPad model and iOS version?
For your crash issue, my guess is that the current version of the app is not yet very well optimized for high resolution images in the history screen. I'll work on that soon but in the meantime, you can try to reduce crashes by resizing your imported images to 1500px for the wider side, if you can. 🙂
Have a nice day,
Fred
Great app for growing artist
If you are looking for an app to improve your gesture drawings or timed art studies while also generating an archive to track your progress, look no further.
Support is also 5 star, response in less than 30mins, hope the author brings more app like those or adding more features! Cheers
