Fantastic app, but could be more user-friendly.

This app is extremely well done, but not perfect yet. It definitely has the potential to go much further.

It will take a little time to get used to as it has a very complicated interface, but a little time to familiarize yourself with the mechanics is well worth the results. I have been using it for my high school art classes, and its definitely advanced enough for a student.

The various body shapes sets it apart from other similar programs, and I like that they look like humans rather than artist mannequins like other apps. It also a nice touch that they added the different guideline settings, like the stick-figure one, as an option to help beginners get started. It makes it obvious that is was developed with artists of all levels in mind.

My suggestions is that instead of the buttons you press up or down to pose, that there could be sliders or something else to indicate the poses settings. That could be a fantastic feature because right now, there is no way to know how far from a parts default position you have gotten.

The slider concept could also be accompanied by a button you could click than would display a page that shows all the slider positions. That page could be easily captured with a screenshot, and allow for a way to recreate any additional poses over the 20 the app allows to be stored. Users could print it out and file it somewhere along with various screenshots of the pose to create their own little personal database. It sounds like a complicated feature, but I think itd be worth the developers time.

Basically, other than its lack of space for poses (20 poses is not even close to the amount someone might need for larger projects where they may be including more than one figure in a work), and the fact that there is no visual indication of HOW a part has been moved so the position could be easily recreated, its fantastic. It is worth more than what theyre asking for it honestly. :P
