The Tablet or Smartphone Becomes a Tutor for the Budding Artist

Author : Kit Eaton

Date : June 5th, 2013.

Extract : « How to Draw is a good app for learning basic skills, and is free for iOS and Android.
Its Step by Step section features the main drawing lessons, each of which is based on copying simple lines that make up a cartoonish drawing of an object like a turtle or a coffee mug. The app shows each line in turn, then you draw on the screen with a finger to copy it. More guide lines appear, until the image is complete.
The app has tools to add color to the image, or it can stay as a pencil-like sketch.
The app is aimed more at children, given the sample images and its Coloring section, which looks a lot like a digital coloring book. It starts with a limited number of sample images; more images require an in-app payment. Access to all of them costs $5.99 for the iOS edition »
