Universal iOS. iPad and iPhone.
DrawEvolve is a full drawing app and an AI critic in one. You draw. You send. You get a critique that picks up where the last one left off, not a fresh take pretending you started today.
Inside the app
Drawing
Six calibrated brushes.
Pencil, brush, ink pen, marker, airbrush, charcoal. Each with its own shape and feel.
Multi-layer canvas.
Undo, redo, the basics that should be table stakes.
The full toolkit.
Eraser, smudge, blur, paint bucket, eyedropper, shapes, and text along a curve.
Selection that works.
Marquee or lasso. Free scale and rotate.
Symmetry and pose overlays.
Mirror modes for anything with an axis. Trace a hand or body from a photo.
Touch or Apple Pencil.
iPad gets the most room. iPhone works too.
Critique
Four built-in coach voices.
Pick whichever fits the session.
Custom prompts.
Tune focus, tone, and depth. Save the ones that work and reuse them.
Or write your own.
Describe the teacher you want in a single line. "A retired sumi-e master who critiques in haiku," for example.
Summary first, depth on tap.
Every critique opens with bullets. The full text is one tap away.
My Evolution.
A skill radar across eight categories. A studio wall of past critiques you can filter.
The voices
Honest, balanced. Praises what works before pushing on what doesn't.
“Your line confidence is up from last week. Two things tugging at me: the right hand is reading flatter than the left, and the negative space between the legs wants tightening.”
MFA peer review. Direct. Brings up what the others are too polite to say.
“The face is finished and the body is sketched. Pick one. Either commit the rest to the same level of finish or knock the head back.”
Drills the basics. Proportion, value, perspective. Will assign a five-minute exercise without asking.
“Proportion check: the head is half a unit too small for the shoulder span. Try this: five quick gestures, head-to-shoulder ratio only, three minutes each.”
A Florentine workshop persona. Treats every drawing like it's going on a chapel wall.
“The light falls from above and behind. Let it. Your shadows are timid. A workshop apprentice would deepen them, then we would see if the figure stands.”
Or write your own. A line describing the teacher you want, in your words. Save it. Use it again.
How it works
Pick a coach. Tell it what you're chasing this session. Proportion, gesture, value, edge control, anatomy, whatever.
Touch or Pencil. Six brushes, layers, pose reference if you need one. Make a thing.
One tap. A critique comes back, private to you, summary first.
This is where it gets useful. The coach reads what it told you on this drawing before. It checks whether you addressed it. Then it pushes on the next thing.
The point of the whole thing
A real teacher remembers what they told you last week. They notice when you fix the thing they pointed at three sessions ago. They notice when you don’t. They change how they explain something when the first version didn’t land.
That’s the entire reason DrawEvolve exists.
When you ask for a second pass on the same drawing, the coach reads its prior critiques on that drawing and continues the conversation. If you improved, it says so out loud. If you didn’t, it tries a different angle. Different words, different exercise, different metaphor for the same idea.
That’s also why My Evolution exists. As critiques accumulate, the skill radar fills in across the eight categories you actually work on. The studio wall keeps every past critique. Filter to “value” or “anatomy” and watch what changed and when.
It compounds. That’s the whole pitch.

Picking up where we left off
Last time we worked on value structure. The midtones on the cheek are stronger now. They’re carrying the form. Nice.
The new thing to push
The shadow shape under the jaw is reading flat. There’s a soft edge where the neck meets the jawline that wants to disappear into the shadow. Right now it’s a hard line.
Exercise for next pass
Three thumbnail studies of the jaw-to-neck transition. Five minutes. Don’t render. Just block the shadow shape.
Our ethos
We don't publish, sell, or sublicense your drawings. Not now. Not later.
The coach reads. You draw. Nothing in the app touches your canvas.
Wipe your account, your drawings, and your critique history any time. One tap.
If how the product works changes meaningfully, we tell you in plain language first, before it happens.
Why this exists
The hard part isn’t picking up the pencil. The hard part is getting useful feedback often enough to actually improve. Most artists have one critique partner if they’re lucky, an art-school teacher if they were lucky earlier, or a feed of strangers who don’t know what you were trying to do.
DrawEvolve is a working studio in your pocket. Real brushes. Real layers. A coach who knows what you asked it to watch for, and remembers what it said last time.
“I built DrawEvolve because I wanted a teacher who remembered what they said last week, and didn’t have one.”
Questions
No. Nothing in the app touches your canvas. The coach reads what you made and writes back. You draw.
No. Touch works. Pencil is great if you have one, but it isn't required.
Universal iOS. iPad and iPhone. iPad gets the most room. The iPhone build is real and shipping.
They stay yours. We don't publish or sell them. They aren't used to train models. If we ever change that we'll ask first, in plain language, before anything happens.
The whole app is free right now. We're in beta. Pricing isn't announced.
Better brush sets, including oil and watercolor with real texture. More export options. Shareable evolution profiles so you can post your skill radar without screenshots.
