Draw a little better
every day.

Your r/forhire brief — Home, two drawing pages, two statistics pages, and a gallery — built as a working iPad concept. The hard part done right: a deliberate-practice loop that measures your improvement, on-device, no generators.

The one thing a generic dev shop gets wrong

A practice loop that actually teaches skill

Anyone can ship a canvas. The hard part of your idea is making reps turn into skill — structured exercises, honest feedback on accuracy, and stats that prove it. All deterministic, all on-device. No gen AI, exactly as your brief says.

01 / PRACTICE

Structured reps

Gesture timers, blind-contour, value studies, proportion guides and a ghost reference to copy — the drills art teachers actually use.

02 / MEASURE

Honest feedback

On-device geometry compares your strokes to the reference — line accuracy, stroke economy, proportion error. Math, not a guess.

03 / TRACK

Proof over time

A skill score that trends up, a per-skill radar, and a streak — so the user can see, in numbers, that they are getting better.

04 / SEE IT

The gallery

Every drawing saved on a timeline. Scroll back to Day 1 and watch the work get better — the single most motivating screen.

Your exact wireframe

The five screens + gallery you specified

Home, two drawing pages, two statistics pages, and a gallery — every screen above is live in the demo, in the graphite-and-paper direction inferred from a craft-first, anti-shortcut brief.

01 — HOME

Daily-practice hub

Today's exercise, current streak, and a skill score that trends up. The "gym for drawing" entry point.

02 — DRAWING A

Guided practice

A 120fps PencilKit/Metal canvas with a reference/ghost overlay, proportion guides, pressure, tilt and undo/redo. Structured reps, not free doodling.

03 — DRAWING B

Free / timed challenge

Gesture-drawing timer (30s / 60s / 2min poses), blind-contour and value-study drills — the classic skill-building exercises.

04 — STATS

Progress

Line accuracy vs reference, stroke economy, time-on-canvas, streak and a skill-score curve — measured on-device, deterministic, not generative.

05 — STATS

Breakdown

Per-skill radar (proportion, line, shading, gesture, perspective) plus exercise history, so the user sees exactly what to practice next.

06 — GALLERY

Save-everything timeline

A clean gallery of saved work, oldest to newest — literally watch old drawings get better over weeks.

Read straight from your post

We built to your brief, not a template

You posted on r/forhire for an iPad/iOS developer, hourly, with a 5-page wireframe and a video walkthrough — and one firm line: "No gen AI please." This concept respects that. The intelligence here is geometry comparing strokes to a reference, computed on-device. No image generators, no shortcuts — just measurable, deliberate practice.

// Why this matters

Off-the-shelf "AI art" tools are the opposite of what you asked for. The win is the practice loop — and that is exactly what most dev shops will skip. This preview leads with it so the reply shows you your vision already alive, not just a bid.
