Suggestion - Timed figure drawing tool?
4yr
With so many great model photos in the library, I would love to see a timed figure drawing tool similar to Quickposes: https://quickposes.com/en/gestures/timed Users can select the gender, length, and number of photos that will randomly popup for gesture practices.
I just found from the new video proko released yesterday. They also have timer tool, I am using it for my figure drawing. super useful!

@Rebecca Shay that's a good suggestion! We will eventually look into adding a figure drawing tool, but I don't know when that will happen. I have talked about it with Stan though and it's something we know would be useful to students.
@Rebecca Shay This would be useful.
If the Proko team wants to code this and would like a second source of inspiration (in addition to Quickposes), the app GestureDrawing! 3 is what I used with my Proko pose files on my computer. https://cubebrush.co/advanches/products/d9q6yq/gesturedrawing
I attached an image that explains quickly how the app works.
I own all the Proko pose files and I dumped them into a big black hole of a folder on my computer and then within that folder I arranged it into subgroups like "full body" and "hands." Then when I wanna do quick sketch I point GestureDraw to the folder I want to do.
The only thing I don't like about it is when you tell it to give you a random pose, it never gives you the same pose twice! I have 2 or 3k total images. I can see why always getting a new pose would be valuable if you just wanna do poses you've never seen before but sometimes I find it overwhelming to be confronted by new pose after new pose and it's comforting to see old poses come back again--I'm often much better at them the second time around!
It would also be nice if I could tell the app to only give me poses I've seen before. Then I could do a review and build up a lot of confidence from seeing myself do better at poses that were tough the first time.
