Pick anything you love: your dog, a dragon, a rose, that photo from your trip. SketchStep turns it into simple pencil steps and walks you through them, stroke by stroke.
Three steps. No blank-page panic.
Upload a photo of anything, or just type what you want to draw.
Your lesson follows the construction method: big guide shapes, then contours, then details. One action per step.
The sketch appears on the canvas one step at a time. You follow along, and each step tells you what to check.
the same method art teachers have always used: light shapes first, details last, press harder only at the end ✎
Every lesson loads into a real sketch canvas. Guide lines fade in one step at a time, and you draw over them with a pencil that feels like a pencil.

You don't draw every day, so you shouldn't pay every month. Buy credits, use them whenever.
guided lesson = 1 credit · custom drawing from your photo = 5 credits ✎
None. Every lesson starts with big, simple guide shapes anyone can copy, then adds detail one small step at a time. If you can trace a circle, you can finish a drawing.
Any photo: your pet, a person, a flower, a car, a holiday snapshot. SketchStep turns it into a personal step-by-step drawing lesson.
No. You buy credits and spend them only when you draw. They never expire, and there is nothing to cancel.
Both work. Follow the guide lines on the built-in sketch canvas with a mouse, finger or stylus, or keep the steps open and draw along on real paper.
A guided lesson costs 1 credit and a custom drawing from your own photo costs 5. Credits start at $5 for 20, and your first 3 drawings are free.
