Amazing app!

This is an amazing app, and I really enjoy it, but I was kind of disappointed when I hopped on ready to draw, and then it said I had to pay to draw, and don’t get me wrong. I know this probably was gonna happen because you guys work hard on this app and you don’t deserve to not get paid, but I enjoy drawing animals and the free daily drawing helps a lot but I would appreciate it if you get like gems every time you complete a a drawing based on its difficulty so like two gems if it’s easy five gems if it’s medium and eight gems if it’s hard and like it could cost 10 gems 20 gems to buy a medium drawing and 30 gems to buy a hard drawing or like 100 to buy one set or 200 to buy a medium one and 300 to buy a heart set and I’m not saying the gems have to be easy. They should be kind of hard because you guys work pretty hard on this app I bet, and you could have a gem shop whenever somebody wants to buy a few gems it costs money, and then you could keep your plans to get access to every single plan is just remove gems for the people that have the premium plan or the monthly plan.

Anyways, I think this app is really great. I enjoy the free daily drawings that you get my favorite is the owl, the wolf and the dragon queen, I was also wondering if there was a way to post your own drawings make your own tutorials?

Has potential

The app is a good start, and can be fun, especially with more artists added. I have two suggestions to make it more useful. First, when starting a new drawing, it is imperative to have a faint outline of the actual finished drawing in the background. I just spent like 10 minutes drawing the squirrel, except for most of it, I was just scribbling circles and lines without knowing how they related to the final product. To learn to sketch, I need to know how to look at an image and break it down into those lines and circles. Just blindly scribbling doesn’t help a lot. Also, with the more complex drawings, at times, the artist’s next line is a dot somewhere on the page of scribbles and I can’t find where to make the next line, so I have to just randomly draw until I find out where the dot was, as the drawing won’t continue until you match the artists lines.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your suggestions and review. We have been thinking about the ideal way to show not just a finished drawing, but a preview of the next steps. Right now we have a cool preview mode that will reveal each new step moving forward. If you press and hold on the circle on the top right you will see what the artist created come to life. Please tell me what you think of that feature by emailing me at support@shadowdrawapp.com

Also we have added a new Skip a step feature in the 1.3 update. Whenever you see a little dot or you can’t find the next step and you want to go your own way, simply tap the screen with 3 fingers at the same time and you will skip forward one step. Please try this in the update and tell me what you think.

THE BEST APP TO LEARN HOW TO DRAW PERIOD!!!

Stop looking for other drawing apps because you just found the best drawing app there is PERIOD. This is by FAR the definitive, must have, absolute winner of the drawing apps. Not only is there so, SO much content to learn how to draw, the way in which the tutorials work are intuitive. If I can draw using this app, trust me you can too! Step by step tracing instructions, abilities to alter the canvas and zoom in and out to better see the strokes and the endless amount of subjects to draw! You want to learn how to draw faces better? They got it, Male and female faces. You wanna draw horses better? They got it! You wanna learn how to draw mountains, trees, bushes, landscapes, portraits, THEY GOT IT! If they don’t have it, message their team. I have never had customer support like this. These people actually do care, I know that makes you uncomfortable thinking that they actually do care. But they do so get over it! I love this app. It will never get old. Even when I become a professional artist! I’ll know where to hone my skills. Man I am thirsty. Gotta go! Download this app now! You won’t regret it!
