Description

Quick Poses is THE ultimate tool to help artists sharpen their drawing skills by simulating REAL LIFE academic figure drawing sessions. Select your pose duration, choose your favorite photo galleries, and start drawing right away! Train your observation and anatomy skills with Quick Poses. The goal is simple: capture the ESSENCE of each pose within a limited time. As soon as the timer runs out, a new pose appears, keeping you focused and in the flow. At the end of your session, a SUMMARY gives you a clear picture of your progress. Over time, track your improvement in the HISTORY section and see how your skills evolve. This practice, called GESTURE DRAWING, is one of the BEST ways to build confidence, observation accuracy, and dynamic composition. It’s also an excellent warm-up before longer drawing sessions. FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS • CUSTOMIZE pose durations anywhere from 5 SECONDS to INFINITY. • CONTROL your total session time by limiting the number of poses. • ADD a short WARMUP DELAY before each pose to prepare your workspace or materials. • USE your APPLE PENCIL directly on screen, and analyze your sketches after each session. • ACCESS the full TOOL PICKER for longer poses to unleash your creativity with more tools and colors. • SWITCH your drawing side for LEFT or RIGHT-HANDED comfort. • USE iPad MULTITASKING to draw in your favorite app side by side. • ENJOY 7 BUILT-IN GALLERIES featuring various subjects (people, animals). • ADD your own galleries easily with the integrated GALLERY EDITOR (optional in-app purchase required). • DISPLAY poses in ORDER or RANDOM sequence. • REVIEW your past sessions in the HISTORY SCREEN and MEASURE your progress over time. • EXPORT your best drawings to share, print, or refine further in another app. • YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS – all your data stays on device unless you choose to share it. Master gesture drawing, stay motivated, and see your art grow session after session with Quick Poses.

Release Notes

Hi there! This new version brings a major feature that I've been eager to offer you since the app's inception: CREATE YOUR GALLERIES DIRECTLY IN-APP!!! No more switching to the Files app! You can now create your own galleries directly within the app. Simply tap the Manage Galleries button to get started. With this new major feature, I have decided to change the app's pricing model to make it accessible to as many people as possible: The app is now free, allowing everyone to try it out with the default galleries. If you like the app, you can purchase access to the custom gallery editor. And if you trusted me by purchasing the app when it was still a paid app, this option will be offered to you as a big thank you! RESIZE THE APP ALL THE WAY! The app fully support the new iPad multitasking resize. You can resize the app the way you want to draw alongside another app for example. NEW ICON AND LIQUID GLASS UPDATE Enjoy the new icon and fresh design from iOS 26 recent update. BUG FIXES - Fixed the undo button during a session, which remained active at the start of a new pose. - Fixed the display of pose previews when sharing them after changing the background type. - Fixed a rare error during a session that prevented it from being saved due to a pose name conflict. - Fixed sharing a session when it had only one pose. - Replaced the end session button with a “pause” button to make it clearer that this button does not directly end the session. - If you install Quick Poses on your Mac, you will be able to draw with your stylus or mouse but without being able to change the brush type. If you haven't yet upgraded to iPadOS 17 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 :( *** SUGGESTIONS? FEEDBACK? *** Know that I love to know how you're using Quick Poses and what is missing for you to fully enjoy it! So don't hesitate to send me all your suggestions and feedback to fred@quickposes.app so I can make the app more awesome for all of us! And if you like the app, don't forget to rate it on the store!
