Why Sketch a Day works for beginners
Most drawing apps focus on tools — but tools aren’t enough when you’re just starting out. What you really need is guidance, motivation, and a reason to keep going.
Sketch a Day is built to help you draw more consistently, learn from real artists, and stay inspired.
1. Daily prompts to keep you practicing
Every day, the app gives you a simple, creative drawing prompt. You can sketch in any medium — pencil, pen, digital, it’s up to you. These prompts are designed to help you get started without overthinking.
Drawing a little every day is the easiest way to get better.
2. Free tutorials from real artists
Learn the basics — and beyond — with video and written tutorials from professional artists. You'll find step-by-step lessons on things like shading, perspective, composition, and character design.
Even if you’ve never drawn before, you can follow along and improve at your own pace.
3. A friendly, supportive community
Everyone starts somewhere. In Sketch a Day, you’ll find a welcoming community where beginners and experienced artists share their work and encourage each other. There’s no pressure to be perfect — just progress, at your own speed.
No gimmicks. Just drawing.
Sketch a Day is free to download and use. You don’t need to pay to access prompts or tutorials, and there’s no complex setup or confusing interface. Just open the app, start drawing, and enjoy the process.
