Ratings and reviews

Great app for checking your drawings, though UI can be improved: When positioning the photograph over the reference, the reference kind of snaps to the photograph. So when I try to change the rotation or zoom of the photo, moving my thumb and index finger first does nothing, then the photo suddenly jerks into a new position, overshooting what I was aiming for. After that, adjusting the zoom/rotation works smoothly. Positioning the photo accurately is difficult like this.

The reference pictures are amazing and so varied, and the grid features make it so much easier to transfer your rough outlines to paper. The picture feature that allows you to overlay the reference and a picture you take of your progress is really helpful to make sure you're getting the proportions right. The app also has links to articles that walk you through the simple steps to draw whatever category of drawing and which pencils to use. I also love the greyscale feature!

MORE PICTURES UPLOAD AND UPDATE Alright, so ive paid for the pro version, and discovered the hands and feet pictures to be too few. its certainly not a years worth of drawings. the unsplash portal is the saving grace regarding this. Still,I would urge the team to continuously upload images to the free and especially to the paid experience, rather than piggyback on another visual service. more 'line of action dot com' and less pinterest board is what i want.
