Learn to Draw with an iPad


No matter what level you're at we've all hit a point where creativity turns into brush-snapping frustration

No matter what level of artistic ability you have, we've all hit a point where creativity turns into brush-snapping frustration, which is why art tuition plays a huge role in our development. If a younger member of your household is showing an interest in art. we recommend Let's Learn How To Draw! to help nurture their talent and imagination. They can choose from three modules - Dogs, Trains and Monsters - each of which has five lessons that vary in difficulty. We say difficulty, but with the addition of a super Assist Mode they're always guaranteed a minor masterpiece. The app looks great, the characters are extremely cute, and the interface design - with its torn, stained paper and realistic-looking watercolor pan - makes us wish for our own adult version.  

For the more advanced artists, How To Draw! is a series of YouTube videos featuring an illustrator called Kenny Oh who worked on the SpongeBob video game franchise - so it focuses on creating characters and environments from the SpongeBob universe. Although Kenny keeps reminding us that all these techniques are relevant no matter what you're drawing, the fact remains that we're merely watching him draw, with no level of interactive learning.

Learn To Draw Digital Sketchbook, on the other hand, is a great series. It's free to install and comes with four sample lessons (further downloaded sessions cost £4.99). It's both a tuition aid and drawing app combined, with a small selection of editable art tools on offer With each session, you draw over a blue lined under-sketch. But it's not just an exercise in tracing. The audio commentary explains what you're learning and offers tips applicable to both digital and traditional drawing, making for a rewarding learning experience.
