Build a real drawing habit. Daily prompts, gesture timers, and a structured curriculum - all in one sketchbook.
Contour is the drawing practice app built for artists who want to actually get better - not just occasionally doodle.
Every day you get a fresh drawing prompt. You have a gesture timer ready to go. You have a structured curriculum that takes you from shaky lines to confident figure drawing. And you have a sketchbook that remembers every session, every sketch, every step forward.
Whether you're a complete beginner or someone returning to drawing after years away, Contour gives you the structure to build a real daily practice.
DAILY PROMPTS
A new drawing challenge every day. Subjects rotate across figures, objects, environments, and concepts - keeping your practice varied and your eye sharp. Prompts are matched to your skill level and weighted toward the skills you have been neglecting.
GESTURE DRAWING TIMER
Time-based drawing sessions that train your hand to capture form quickly. Choose from 7 preset sessions - from 30-second warm-ups to extended 10-minute studies. Free includes Warm-up and Quick Study. Pro unlocks all 7 presets plus custom intervals, where you set your own pose length and pose count.
FOCUSED EXERCISES
Targeted drills for specific skills: Line Confidence, Shape Construction, Blind Contour, Negative Space, and more. Free includes 3 exercise types. Pro unlocks all 10.
STRUCTURED CURRICULUM
A 6-level, 26-unit drawing curriculum built for self-taught artists. Every unit is a full lesson - the concept explained, a warm-up, a core exercise, and self-assessment questions to check your own work. Start with foundations - line quality, proportion, basic forms. Progress through depth and perspective, value and shading, composition, and subject mastery. Free includes Level 1 (Foundations, Weeks 1-4). Pro unlocks the full curriculum.
SKILL BALANCE RADAR
See exactly where you're strong and where you need work. The radar chart tracks 7 core skills - updated after every session so you always know what to practice next.
PERSONAL SKETCHBOOK
Log every practice session with notes and photos of your work. Build a visual record of your progress. Free includes up to 30 entries. Pro gives you unlimited storage, so nothing gets left out.
DAILY REMINDERS
Set a reminder time and Contour nudges you once a day. Small sessions, done consistently, are the whole point.

THE PHILOSOPHY
Most people who want to draw never start - or start and stop after a week. Contour is designed around one idea: small daily sessions compound into real skill. Twenty minutes today. Twenty minutes tomorrow. A year from now, you won't recognize your own drawings.
Pick up your pencil. Let's draw something good.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The curriculum now records your progress, and lesson content is actually readable.
- Completing a practice session now advances your curriculum progress. It previously never moved.
- Added a unit detail screen so lesson content can be read. It existed in the app but had no way to open it.
- Your profile is created properly on first launch, so settings and skill tracking persist.
- Daily practice reminders now work when enabled.
- Custom practice intervals are respected instead of falling back to fixed values.
- Free Draw no longer runs a 20 minute countdown, and gesture sessions log their full duration rather than only the last pose.
- Daily prompts no longer repeat before cycling through the full set.
- Fixed a gesture timer that could skip a pose.
- Onboarding now states the real curriculum size and the actual Level 1 units.
- Full dark mode support.
Thank you for the reports that led to these fixes.
