Sketch Timer

🛠️ How to use the sketch timer

Practice drawing from reference images with timed sessions.

1. Upload your reference images: Add one or more images to draw from.
2. Choose your time per image: Short times work well for gesture drawing. Longer times allow more detailed studies.
3. Set the number of rounds: Each round shows all images once. Increase rounds to repeat the session.
4. Start the timer: A short countdown begins before the first image appears.
5. Draw while the timer runs: Each image is shown for the selected time, followed by a short break.
6. Skip or stop anytime: Move to the next image or end the session whenever you like.

⏱️ Why timed drawing works

Timed drawing helps you focus on the most important shapes instead of small details.

Short sessions train your eye to see quickly and your hand to respond. Over time, this improves observation, accuracy, and confidence.

Many artists use timed exercises to:

• Capture form and movement
• Improve drawing speed
• Avoid overworking sketches
• Build strong fundamentals
