Draw Gestures: Pose Reference

Draw Gestures is a timed pose reference app for gesture and figure drawing practice. Pick a pose, set a timer, and quick sketch like you would in a real life drawing class.

For beginners learning figure drawing and for illustrators, animators and concept artists who want a structured daily warmup.

How it works
1. Choose your reference - figure drawing poses, animals, faces, hands, or your own photos
2. Set your timer - 30 seconds to 10 minutes per pose
3. Draw and improve - track your gesture drawing progress over time

Practice 15 minutes a day to build confidence, speed and flow in your figure drawing.
