Vangu: Learn to Draw

Turn any photo into a 9-step drawing tutorial — pencil, ink, or watercolor. Learn the methods real artists use. Free credits to start.

Learn to draw anything — starting with any photo from your camera roll.

Pick a photo. Pick a style. In moments, you get a 9-step sketch tutorial laid out panel by panel, just like the structured exercises real artists use. Follow along on paper, on a tablet, or anywhere you can hold a pencil.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Upload any photo — a portrait, a pet, a flower, a building, a landscape.
2. Choose your medium — pencil, black ink, or ink & watercolor.
3. Get 9 progressive panels showing exactly how the drawing is built up, from the first light construction lines to the final rendered piece.
4. Swipe panel by panel and sketch each step at your own pace.

BUILT ON REAL ARTIST TECHNIQUES

Every tutorial follows the same construction methods professional artists teach — the Loomis head method for portraits, gesture-first figure construction, silhouette-before-detail for animals, perspective grids for architecture. You're not tracing. You're learning the thinking behind the drawing.

THREE STYLES, ONE PRACTICE

• Pencil Sketch — graphite fundamentals, shading, proportion • Black Ink — confident line work, cross-hatching, high contrast • Ink & Watercolor — loose gestural lines with color washes

DRAW ANY SUBJECT

Portraits. Figures. Animals. Landscapes. Still life. Architecture. Bring your own reference photo or start with the curated examples inside the app.

GET FEEDBACK ON YOUR WORK

Snap a photo of your finished sketch and get a focused critique — what's working, what to tighten next time, and the one fix that will level you up the fastest.

PERFECT FOR
