Want to learn to draw? Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your technique, Simply Draw makes the process feel playful and rewarding. The app combines solid art lessons with clever tools that help you build your skills step by step – from your very first sketch to a fully realised character portrait.

Simply Draw makes it easy to get started with drawing – thanks to step-by-step tutorials that teach you real, professional techniques. You’ll learn how to break down complex figures into simple shapes, develop spatial awareness and capture volume convincingly.

You’ll practise advanced shading with greyscale tones, hard and soft shadows and subtle layering, too – all with immediate, hands-on application. The app also encourages proper pencil grip and repetition exercises that help you build muscle memory for smoother, more controlled lines.

Learn how to draw a face and bring it to life with the app’s Character Builder, which is especially useful for comic, animation or storybook projects.

Using emoji-style templates as a guide, you can practise drawing faces from a variety of angles and learn how to capture a wide range of expressions – from joy and anger to curiosity – by focusing on the eyes, eyebrows and mouth.

In Simply Draw’s virtual Journal, you can save, organise and track your drawings over time. It’s a wonderful way to reflect on your progress – and a huge motivator, too.

Compare older works with new ones to see how far you’ve come, and share your favourite creations with fellow art lovers in the app or on social media. You can even turn your gallery into a digital portfolio to showcase your best pieces.
