OMGWTF144,
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.
Darius - the IPad Pro Rookie,
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!
luismg,
Great app for people with little experience drawing!
I really enjoy using this app. I love how we can follow the lines one by one with the option to see the finished version any time, so I know what the lines are supposed to be. There are a couple of things I would suggest to the dev. One is to make it easy to find all the pieces I purchased so I don’t have to remember which ones are available for me to start drawing. The other one, which is even more important to me, is fixing how the eraser interacts with the coloring tool. The coloring tool allows you to fill in behind the lines you make with color. If you’re like me and erase a ton while sketching, this coloring tool basically doesn’t work properly. It won’t fill color behind the areas that you previously erased. This makes me feel like the eraser tool was implemented as a white marker instead of actually erasing. The app still gets five stars because I love it for learning how to sketch, but please fix the ability to color the areas where I erase.
backwardswolf,
Has potential to be great.
I saw this on the Today page when I was looking for something relevant to drawing. I don’t mean my three-star rating as necessarily being bad, but there are just some features I wish were available. One of the problems with sketching for me is that my hands shake, so it was hard for me to sketch out and follow the lines. If this app had some of the simple features like in Procreate, where I can easily create a straight line, a curved line, a circle, etc. all with ease, one of the other small but slightly frustrating problems was that as I followed the guided lines, it would often skip to the next step before I was even finished. On a positive note, I saw that you could purchase a monthly or yearly plan, which I think is a reasonable price for getting access to thousands of lessons. In conclusion, I think the concept is great and can make for an enjoyable app, but I need a few add-ons/features before I’ll come back.
Raff-84,
Great concept but needs improvements
Great idea, but need some work. The major issue is in the teaching methodology and how to do the underlying sketch- because there is no continuity, you do a part here, add a line there, then the next line is somewhere else, so you don't understand how to bring up the sketch and the proportions. Instead, what would help is how to do the sketch , where to draw lines and circles of the sketch in relation to the final drawing (for example having a light version of the final drawing on top and a GRID with possibility of toggling them on/off). This way you'd know where a line representing a leg goes, how long it has to be and how to connect it to adjacent parts. As it is now you just mindlessly copy the lines and it becomes boring very quickly. Another problem is that in many instances details are added very early which is not a good learning methodology I'll stick with this app and hope to see good improvements, because it has potential and I really want to like it.

Game Changer for Learning to Draw
I’ve been using this app with a subscription for a few months now, and I love it. As other reviewers have stated, this has helped my drawing OUTSIDE of the app, as well. I work a full time job, and this lets me get my daily “reps” in. Using my Apple pencil, I treat it like a Fitbit for drawing, and the steady progress feels great. The developers are also pushing updates regularly. I also enjoy the stylistic difference between the contributors.
In future versions I would like to see more tips and text instruction along with new drawings to practice, with a focus on fundamentals (such as with figure drawing). A few drawings in the app already do this. I think this will really help those of us who also like to understand the process. Bring even more artists in from different fields, too, as you continue to grow. Keep up the great work!

Rigbones,
Only one major caveat
Pretty good app. Most of the time it works well, but my problem with this app is that sometimes when you are following along the steps of a sketch; it will skip ahead when you haven’t even finished all the lines in a step. Doing small lines or dots is the worst. Sometimes it will show several small dots for you to do, and as soon as you put one down it moves on before letting you do the rest. It will skip to the point of real annoyance and I’ll end up 3 or more steps behind just because it thinks if I touch my pen to the screen it’s enough. I’ve even drawn lines completely away from where the step will show intentionally, and it still moves to the next step! This is really frustrating and I’ve ditched drawings because of it. If this issue was addressed my review would be higher, but this flaw is really detrimental to the app and also is what keeps me from going premium.

A Dream Come True
Even with a deep desire to learn how to draw and a lot of attempts and sincere effort in the past, I’ve never moved past stick men. I’m simply not able to understand it with conventional teaching methods. But this? This app is helping me by leaps and bounds. Finally after 30+ years of being stuck, I’m starting to find my drawing wings!
This is precisely the way I personally needed to learn how to draw. It is actively helping me move past the mindset that I can’t do any visual art, and lifting a dark weight in me that I didn’t realize I had been carrying in relation to this.
Even in the seemingly superficial world we live in, there are still surprising ways in which things can pop through that bring deeper meaning back into our lives, and this is one of those things for me.

zz-turquise,
I m addicted to this app
This is a really good app. I personally am addicted to it and can’t stay calm without at least once entering the app and drawing. It just needs more free drawings. I think that the free drawings are less harder that the ones outside which I think should be changed. Either that or make the whole app free with no in app purchases. I love ShadowDraw and I’ve read that harsh reviews hurt ur app. This is not what I am meaning right do. I just want to get the best out of this amazing app.
*****update.
By the way, the person who is responding to these reviews is awesome. I am glad you answer so quickly!!! I would like at least 5 more pieces of free art. Could you maybe have more related to star wars ? Or the profiles? Those ones are really improving my techniques.

phillk86,
So far so good!
Haven’t completed too many drawings yet but needed to give kudos, I had been looking for an app almost exactly like this! As for the reviewer complaining that this isn’t how you learn to draw, speak for yourself. There are plenty of different ways to learn how to draw, and ultimately muscle-memory is a big factor as well, and I like that they guide you step-by-step how another animator would draw, it’s a perfectly suitable way to learn to draw (and yes, I’ve taken sketch courses before, many many many years ago, hence why I was looking for an app like this).
So far can’t really say anything negative, it works perfectly smooth; the user interface could use some livening up but that’s just cosmetic junk, it works and is easy to navigate and use.
