About this app

Learn to draw real faces with a pencil and paper, one short lesson at a time.

Vangu is a 100-day drawing course for complete beginners. Every lesson shows you the finished drawing first, then walks you through it step by step, and checks your drawing when you're done.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Open your next lesson and see what you'll draw.
2. Follow the steps on paper. Each step shows the new lines in orange.
3. Take a photo of your drawing and get feedback: what's working, and the one thing to fix next.
4. Every drawing goes into your sketchbook, so you can see how far you've come.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Confident lines, circles, ellipses and simple forms
• Boxing in shapes and lining things up
• The Loomis head, built step by step on real portraits
• Eyes, noses, mouths, ears and hair
• Measuring a face so every feature lands in the right place
• Light and dark: shading with a few simple tones
• Turning the head, and full portraits

WATCH YOURSELF GET BETTER

Draw the same face on day 1, then again on days 10, 30, 60 and 100. Your sketchbook keeps every page, so the progress is right there in your own drawings.

JUST PAPER AND A PENCIL

No tablet, no stylus and no drawing experience needed. Go at your own pace.

BONUS: MAKE YOUR OWN LESSONS

Turn any photo into your own step-by-step drawing tutorial.

SUBSCRIPTION

A Vangu subscription unlocks the full course, feedback on every drawing, and credits to make your own lessons. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Manage or cancel any time in Google Play.
