Gesdro: Gesture Drawing
Timed figure drawing practice
Free · In‑App Purchases
iPad
CG pose references shot under one setup. Two guided patterns, a custom drawing
engine, streak tracking, and a sketch history for every pose. Practice features free.
Capture the motion, not the outline.
Gesdro is an iPad app built for one thing: short, focused gesture drawing practice.
■ CG pose references, made for this app
Two figures, male and female, in standing, walking, stepping, crouching and seated
poses, each shot from front, three-quarter, side and back. Every image is framed
identically, at the same subject size, so your eye never has to hunt for the figure
when the pose changes. (The exact count is shown in the app's credits screen.)
■ Switch the same pose between Body and Skeleton
One tap swaps the reference for a simplified artist's skeleton: the rib cage and pelvis
masses, the joints, the axes of the limbs. It shows beginners what the "Simplified Figure"
step is really asking them to find.
■ Two step-by-step patterns
・Basic: Line of Action, then Simplified Figure, then Cylinders
・Big Shape: Line of Action, then one big mass
Each layer has its own pen color, and earlier stages stay faintly visible underneath.
In Big Shape, the mass is laid in with Lasso Fill: circle an area and it fills with a light tone.
■ High, low and foreshortened angles too
Some poses also come in angles made for practicing depth and foreshortening.
■ A drawing engine built for feel
A custom stroke engine that responds honestly to pressure and tilt.
Draw with a finger or with Apple Pencil. With Apple Pencil, pressure and tilt shape the line, and Settings can limit drawing to the Pencil.
■ Built to keep you coming back
Streaks and totals are tracked automatically. Open any pose in the gallery to look
back at every sketch you have made of it and see your progress.
■ The practice features are free
No limits on time, count, patterns or history. One short ad is shown when you
start a session (never during or after practice). If you choose to watch one longer
ad to the end, the short ads stop for the rest of that day. It is entirely optional.
Because of the ad, starting a session needs an internet connection (if you are online
and no ad could be loaded, the session simply starts).
■ Remove ads (one-time purchase)
A single purchase removes the ads and lets you practice offline.
Not a subscription. Use "Restore Purchases" in Settings after a reinstall or a new device.
The references are CG made by the developer from assets the MakeHuman community publishes
under CC0. The images themselves may not be redistributed; drawings you make from them are
yours to publish or sell. The asset source is credited in the app.
