Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Body Sketches.
- A place to practise figure drawing. Pick a pose, set a timer the way a life-drawing class would, and draw. Every drawing is kept with the pose it came from, so you can redraw a pose later and see both attempts side by side.
- Yes. The pose library, timers, and drawing tools are free. A private 3D pose made from your photo is a one-time purchase. Stripe shows the price in your currency before you pay.
- Right in your browser, with a mouse, your finger, or a pen. A pen or tablet that reports pressure gives you thicker and thinner lines. The paper only accepts strokes while the timer is running.
- 30 seconds, 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 minutes. Every saved drawing shows the time it was drawn in, so a quick gesture is never judged against a long study.
- Drawings you submit are saved to your account first. After an admin approves them, they appear on your public profile, the pose page, and in Recent Drawings. You can draw without signing in, then create an account to submit.
- Upload a full-body photo to make a private 3D pose you can rotate and draw. It belongs in your Gallery and only you can open it. Custom models are never added to the public pose library.
- Yes. Every pose is a 3D figure. Use the rotate, zoom, and reset buttons beneath the figure before or while you draw.
