Setup tips
Use landscape for wide references.
Keep the tablet stable while practicing.
Pair iPad lessons with paper repetition.
Device pages convert well
An iPad page should focus on the larger screen, clearer references, and a comfortable practice setup for lessons, tracing, and sketching.
Where iPad traffic should go
Internal links to beginner, lessons, photo-to-sketch, pencil-sketch, and anime pages create a useful path for tablet users.
How it works
- Choose a reference or lesson that matches the topic.
- Use photo-to-sketch, tracing, or projector mode when the outline is difficult.
- Finish the drawing by hand, then repeat it without the guide.
Why this workflow helps
The workflow focuses on one drawing goal and keeps the App Store action clear on desktop and mobile.
Best next practice
Open the app, pick one reference, trace the structure, then repeat the same subject without tracing. That creates learning, not just copying.
