Descripció

Quick Poses is an app to help artists train their drawing skills by simulating a real world academic life drawing sessions.

Select your pose duration and a bunch of photo galleries and you are ready to go!

With Quick Poses, you can easily train your drawing skills, especially anatomy drawing. The purpose of this exercise is about trying to find the essence of the pose within the time constraint of the pose duration. Each time the pose duration expired, a new pose is presented so you can try again. At the end of each session, a summary is displayed. Use it to see how good you did this time.
As you train, you'll be able to check your improvements over time in the history section. This section keeps track of all your past sessions.

This exercise is called "gesture drawing" and it is a great way to develop your skills at observing, simplifying and making your drawings more dynamic. It is also very good for warming you up before any long drawing sessions.

A brief overview of the available features:

• Configure your poses duration to your liking from 5s to infinity.
• Control your session total duration by limiting the number of poses if needed.
• Add a warmup delay at the beginning of each pose so it gives you time to prepare (eg. get a new sheet of paper if you practice using traditional medium).
• Use your favorite Apple Pencil™ directly in the app if you want. You can then analyse your drawings at the end of each session.
• For longer poses, you can use your full artistic power by displaying the tool picker with more tools and colors at your disposal.
• When you draw side by side, choose the side you prefer whether you are left-handed or right-handed.
• Use iPad multi-tasking to draw in your favorite drawing app if you feel more confortable that way.
• Seven galleries provided by default with the application to practice on various subjects (people, animals).
• Add your own galleries using the Files app (see documentation included in the app for details).
• Choose whether to display your poses in a specific order or randomly.
• Analyse your progress over time with the history screen where you can see all your previous session results.
• Export your best drawings to show them to your friends or teachers, or to finish them in your favorite drawing app.
• Your privacy is important, and none of your data leaves the application.

Versió 1.6.3

Hi there!

This new version provides some long awaited little features by many of you:

EXPORT ALL POSES AT ONCE!
You can now export all your session poses at once from the session result screen.

LAST CONFIGURATION RESTORED!
Now, QuickPoses will remember your last session configuration settings and restore it at launch. Hooray!

You've added your own galleries and now you don't need the default ones anymore? Be releived, you can now get ride of them with new hide button!

If you haven't yet upgraded to iPadOS 15 or higher, you'll need to update your iPad if you want to take advantage of this new version and beyond. In order to give you the best possible features, I've had to withdraw support for older versions :(

Near-perfect app!

It has everything I’ve wanted from a quick posing app. The one feature I’d like to see added is the ability to save the preferred settings (preparing pause, direct drawing, etc) so that they do not have to be re-applied each session.

Hi Enendra! Thanks for the nice review! 💚
Happy that QuickPoses suits your needs so well. For now, I don’t plan to add multi preset saving but next update will at least keep your last session configuration when you restart the app.

Happy drawing! 👨‍🎨

Perfect app!

Love this app and all the features, I use it almost daily and can’t thank you enough for it!
One small suggestion would be to add a “classroom” timed session that begins with short intervals that increase into longer timed drawings to mimic a life drawing class.
My previous life drawing app had a similar feature but otherwise all elements of this are far superior. Thanks again!

Hi Stegamod!

It’s so nice to start my day with a great review like yours, many thanks! 😍
I’m very happy that you enjoy using Quick Poses! 😃

About the classroom mode, I already tried to add it in the past but finally remove it for several reasons:
1. I can’t possibly define classroom setup that fits the needs of all of you out there so I will probably have tons of review telling me that it should have more Xsec poses or less Xmin ones, etc.
2. Adding an option to define your own custom class will overly complicate the UI that is quite simple today and I like it like that as many of you I guess
3. How do I manage the pauses during long classroom sessions ?

So I’ve decided to simply add the “pose count” option that solves everything. If you need to do a class of 10 x 30sec, 5x2min and 1x15min, just do 3 sessions in a row and each time, you just have to tweak two sliders before continuing. Bonus point, you can do any pause you need in between if needed! 💯
The only drawback of this solution is that you need to think about a classroom setup which other apps remove the burden from you, I confess. 😬

That said, I hope you’ll continue to enjoy Quick Poses anyway!

Happy drawing! 🧑‍🎨

The app I’ve always been looking for!

Wow!! I’ve always been searching for good timed drawing practices, but felt something was lacking out there. I’m SO excited about the ability to do timed drawings of my own photos, drawing my own memories really hits different. Thank you for this app!

Hey ! Thanks okcoops for taking the time to write this cheerful comment ! 🤩
I’m very happy to have fulfilled your need for an app like Quick Poses. I, myself, created it because I missed one too 😃

Happy painting ! 👨‍🎨
