The Warm-Up
Each day, the first scheduled exercise will be a warm-up that helps you improve line accuracy: drawing lines to a point, circles and ellipses, and ghosting lines. Click on the Finished/Skip
icon when you feel you are getting into a flow state. After that follows the real exercise. The Exercise
This tool schedules images based on how well you drew them before. If you did well, the image will be scheduled farther into the future.The system chooses an image, unless you choose one here yourself.
For each image:
- Study the image.
- Draw a gesture drawing, shape or form study, rotated, or draw it from observation, memory, observation rotated, or memory rotated depending on the stage you are in. When drawing from memory, try to draw without looking at the reference as much as possible, but do look at the reference if you need to.
- Optionally, click on the “Compare to drawing” link below the image to compare the reference image to your drawing through the camera on your mobile phone.
- When you finish, click on one of the icons below to let the system know how well you did.
When You're Done With A Flashcard
When finished drawing, click on the one of the icons below the image to tell the system how well you did.
What counts is not that it is an exact copy, but that it looks good. You be the judge!
- easy
: if you could easily draw the gesture drawing. - good
: the drawing came out good with some light effort. - hard
: the drawing came out good with hard effort. - bad
if the drawing didn't come out right.
If you don't feel like drawing the image, then click on the icon:
- postpone
if you want to draw the image some time in the future. - discard
if you don't want to see the image again.
The image will be re-scheduled depending on which icon you click.
