ArtWorkout vs ShadowDraw

ArtWorkout is a drawing app for iOS and Android that pairs guided practice with stress relief. Lessons divide drawings into short stages, using visual guides for lines, shapes, details, and color. After each lesson, learners receive feedback on accuracy, line smoothness, attempts, and completion time. Completed drawings are saved so users can revisit their work and follow progress over time. The maker lists courses on anatomy, people, animals, and movement. Multiplayer drawing is available with friends or random partners, including a mode where participants draw and compete. Free daily energy can be used to unlock and practice lessons. The maker describes the app as suitable for children and teenagers as a creative and educational activity. Website subscription purchases have a 30-day money-back guarantee unless otherwise specified, while app-store purchases follow Apple or Google refund policies. Users own their content but grant ArtWorkout a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, publish, and distribute it.

ShadowDraw is a drawing app that teaches through guided, step-by-step tutorials. Its library contains hundreds of guides described as hand-drawn by art professionals, and the app checks that a learner completes each step before showing the next. Lessons encourage daily practice. In Sketch My Way, users choose colors and brushes; Art Teacher Mode uses choices selected by the art teacher. Apple Pencil and third-party styluses are supported. The free plan provides a daily free lesson, searchable free content, and a blank canvas, alongside a limited number of lessons and features. ShadowDraw+ offers unlimited drawings and new content for $7.99 a month or $49.99 a year, with Family Sharing on both plans. The app is available for iOS and macOS; listed compatibility requires iPadOS 16 or later, or a Mac running macOS 13 or later with Apple M1 or later. Subscriptions use Apple In-App Purchase and automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the billing period ends. The content is licensed for personal, non-commercial use.
