What artists are saying
“I think GDS is great! I love the flexibility it gives you to customize your sessions and images! Since you can create your own tags and upload your own images, you can practice drawing any subject, not just people, which I think is super neat. It's also really convenient that you can use images from Pinterest, especially if you're just starting out and don't have a lot of your own images to upload. 10/10!”
“Placeholder quote from an illustration student about building a daily gesture drawing habit with the app.”
“One of my favorite features is that GDS supports Pinterest, it takes your references and puts them into GDS to organize and filter out . Overall this website is a very helpful tool to use for when you are drawing. So, if any other artist needs keep track, I suggest heading on over to GDS.”
