Quick Poses is an app to help artists train their drawing skills by simulating a real world academic life drawing sessions.
Select your pose duration and a bunch of photo galleries and you are ready to go!
With Quick Poses, you can easily train your drawing skills, especially anatomy drawing. The purpose of this exercise is about trying to find the essence of the pose within the time constraint of the pose duration. Each time the pose duration expired, a new pose is presented so you can try again. At the end of each session, a summary is displayed. Use it to see how good you did this time.
As you train, you'll be able to check your improvements over time in the history section. This section keeps track of all your past sessions.
This exercise is called "gesture drawing" and it is a great way to develop your skills at observing, simplifying and making your drawings more dynamic. It is also very good for warming you up before any long drawing sessions.
A brief overview of the available features:
• Configure your poses duration to your liking from 5s to infinity.
• Control your session total duration by limiting the number of poses if needed.
• Add a warmup delay at the beginning of each pose so it gives you time to prepare (eg. get a new sheet of paper if you practice using traditional medium).
• Use your favorite Apple Pencil™ directly in the app if you want. You can then analyse your drawings at the end of each session.
• For longer poses, you can use your full artistic power by displaying the tool picker with more tools and colors at your disposal.
• When you draw side by side, choose the side you prefer whether you are left-handed or right-handed.
• Use iPad multi-tasking to draw in your favorite drawing app if you feel more confortable that way.
• Seven galleries provided by default with the application to practice on various subjects (people, animals).
• Add your own galleries using the Files app (see documentation included in the app for details).
• Choose whether to display your poses in a specific order or randomly.
• Analyse your progress over time with the history screen where you can see all your previous session results.
• Export your best drawings to show them to your friends or teachers, or to finish them in your favorite drawing app.
• Your privacy is important, and none of your data leaves the application.

Quick Poses FAQ
Is Quick Poses free?
Yes, Quick Poses is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Quick Poses legit?
✅ The Quick Poses app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
It has everything I’ve wanted from a quick posing app. The one feature I’d like to see added is the ability to save the preferred settings (preparing pause, direct drawing, etc) so that they do not have to be re-applied each session.
Perfect app!
Love this app and all the features, I use it almost daily and can’t thank you enough for it!
One small suggestion would be to add a “classroom” timed session that begins with short intervals that increase into longer timed drawings to mimic a life drawing class.
My previous life drawing app had a similar feature but otherwise all elements of this are far superior. Thanks again!
The app I’ve always been looking for!
Wow!! I’ve always been searching for good timed drawing practices, but felt something was lacking out there. I’m SO excited about the ability to do timed drawings of my own photos, drawing my own memories really hits different. Thank you for this app!
Overall good app
Edit2: I found the folder following your instructions and got my images to work, also got the white canvas to work, thanks!
I like the app overall, it would be nice to be able to use a white background to draw on instead of black and the choice to switch from the pencil to something more like a pen. Perhaps offer different sizes, be it with a slider or a choice between a small/med/large. A few other colours for the drawing utensil would also be nice, like black(if we get a white background)red/white(to use on black).
A very good app for drawing practice
I use it all the time now for warm ups to my drawing sessions.
Good reference app
It works really well in general. One issue, the counter only works if you draw in quick poses. I like to do a side by side with procreate, so the app keeps saying I’m on the first sketch after the image changes. Wish I could disable that requirement. Otherwise it’s super useful for using your own reference pictures.
Amazing app
I use this side by side with Procreate. Love it. The only thing I’d like to see is a zoom function.
Just a couple more features to be perfect
This app does everything I expect it to but I would be very happy if there was a way to pause the current gesture and if there was a numbered timer instead of a gradual bar decrease.
Not what I thought it was
I thought this would. Have a collection of photos to sketch from. The archive is very small and only good for a few quick sketch sessions. I does seem to be able to steam photos that you might already have archived.
It does not have ample photos to stream
Good with your own database
I save a LOT of reference pictures, so this app gives an easy way to actually practice using those for gesture studies, or if I’m just not sure what picture I want to study or draw from. I rarely use the direct drawing, I keep it open alongside procreate and draw there. Once I started using this, I never went back to the browser gesture sites since I could use my own personalized ref folders
