GestureDrawing!

GestureDrawing! is a handy app that lets you use your own image collections to create timed drawing sessions (put to good use all that reference images on your computer!).

Just point it to a folder on your computer and it will scan it and it's sub-folders for images. Then, select a session type that fits you (Practice, Class, Relaxed or Custom) and it will shuffle your images and present them one after another for the specified amount of time.

It's the closest thing to having a live model session in your studio, whenever you want!

GestureDrawing! 3.1 cool new features:

• HiDPI support: GestureDrawing! now looks great on 4K/Retina displays.
• Image orientation: Some JPG files contain information about how the should be rotated when they are displayed. GestureDrawing! can now read this info and rotate them accordingly.
• Manual image flipping: Version 3 introduced random image flipping. Now you can also do it manually for greater control.

Features introduced in version 3: 

• Breaks: Drawing can be a physically and mentally exhausting activity and taking a break every now and then can help you boost your productivity and keep focus. With that end, you can now schedule break times in your drawing sessions!
• Grids: Having a grid over your references can help you study proportions and composition.
• Image flipping: Get the most out of your references or add an extra challenge by telling GestureDrawing! to randomly flip your images vertically or horizontally.
• Volume slider: For a better volume control.
