I. About

A focused practice tool for gesture & figure drawing.

DrawGestures brings Pinterest, Google and premium cloud libraries together, provides a distraction-free viewer with timers, and lets you sketch on top of references on tablets and desktops.

It's the warm-up most pro animators run before any longer figure study — and the timer is the entire skill.

Why we request Google data.

Some features use your Google account to improve your experience, for example:

  1. iSign in with Google — sync preferences across devices.
  2. iiGoogle Images search — fetch public reference thumbnails.
  3. iiiAnalytics — understand anonymous usage and improve the app.

We only request the minimum necessary permissions and do not sell your data. Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
