your personal pencil coach

Learn to draw like a professional artist.

Vangu teaches you the exact nine-stage construction method the pros use — on any photo you choose. Loomis head construction, proportion grids, ghost overlays, AR alignment, and AI feedback on every page, until drawing well stops feeling like talent and starts feeling like a skill.

These are real tutorials from the app — including the celebrity lessons you can start with on day one. Every stage keeps the same subject, angle, and proportions; only the level of completion changes.

AR coach

Hold your drawing up to the answer.

AR alignment projects the current stage onto your real paper through the camera — like tracing paper you can't lose. Check your proportions without ever leaving the easel.

  • Place the stage on your page

    Point your camera at the paper and the current tutorial stage floats over your drawing as transparent pencil lines.

  • Drag to move, pinch to resize

    Line the guide up with what you've drawn so far and instantly spot proportion and placement drift.

  • Tune it to your light

    Slide the guide's opacity, switch between black and red lines, and flip on the torch for evening sessions.

Then get clear AI feedback

Photograph your finished page for specific notes on what works, what to fix, and what to practice next.

Proportions grid

Lock in proportions

Drop a grid on top of the reference, drag it to land lines on the features that matter, then sketch cell by cell.

Ghost overlay

Compare side-by-side

Ghost the reference photo over your drawing and slide the opacity to see exactly where your lines drift.

Draw any subject

Not just faces. Anything you can photograph.

Portraits, pets, figures, landscapes, still lifes, city corners — every photo becomes its own step-by-step lesson.
