Skelly - Art Model App Reviews

A very good app for drawîng. Thanks

Stan Prokopenko continues to put out educational refernce material of the highest level - this app is no exception. A must own for art students looking for quality reference to support their efforts.

The app is very smooth, easy to operate and intuitive. Im a Registered Massage Therapist and an armature artist. I will enjoy using this app to explain treatments to my clients so they can visualize what I am talking about anatomically. For the last 15 years Ive always had to draw it out for them if they could not visualize the anatomical problem areas. This will also be handy for drying as well. I would like to see one of the 3-D wooden dummy versions of this, perhaps as a third option to the skeletal system and the basic frame of the body.

Wow this is really amazing. Helps me with coming up with poses. Using this and watching Proko on YouTube.

Dont get me wrong, I adore this app. But if you were to update it again, there should be an option for muscles! If not, still an amazing app I love using!

Just words depicting how the app works is good; having a free version (with limited functionalities, of course, to be fair), just for trying and to have a feel of the app is ideal, if not unachievable.

The app itself is a solid app that serves a purpose. Like all apps it can be improved with some better ui elements. A "my poses" tab would be useful, or making it so that when you delete a pose it doesnt reset to the bottom of the list. In the future I would love to see a more fleshed out mannequin like a robo bean and regular bean, or a mannequin with muscle dimensions. However it is a good app, worth the money in my opinion, if you are a beginner to intermediate learning to draw a figure and need a reference pose.

Love this app so far! I wish I could adjust the jaw though, hopefully in a future update.

Too much money

I will be very appreciated in next update for saving poses option.

Thank you! Everything that you do is always brilliant!

I love it! really! thank you :)

Got the app to support proko and because I like all of his educational materials. If the app also had muscle systems, it would be in a whole different level.

I asked the people at 3D 4 M focal if they can make an artist version where they could pose the skeleton and they said they couldnt. A few weeks later I discovered Skelly and I jumped at the chance to use it. Its a great app with loads of functionality, I would however like a couple of additions to the UI. Is there any chance that we can get an update where we can load an image under Skelly so that we can pose it more accurately? Like and overlay. Also, can we get individually poseable fingers and toes please?

I like the app butt.... It would be more useful with the aforementioned picture overlay, joint limitations and I personally would like a moveable jaw. Please add those features.

This costs more than "Infinity Blade" a full 3D ios game, and After purchasing "ArtPose" app for more than 1/2 the price with 4x the amount of content and features, or more, this skelly app is bare bones. Buy artpose. Avoid buyers remorse.

This mannequin app offers the perfect balance of detail and ease of use. Totally worth the price, and Im happy to support a resource thats provided the art work with such fantastic tutorials. As for the app itself, I love the way it lets me instantly switch between the skeleton and the robo view, and the positioning and lighting controls are totally intuitive. Is there room for improvement? Sure. But even if Proko doesnt update this app, its still a solid 5/5.

If youre a serious artist, then Skelly is a no-brainer. I dont mean to put down any other products here, such as the ArtPose apps, but Skelly delivers a couple of things you just have to appreciate. For one thing, the mechanism for manipulating joints is delightfully easy, with clear handles that let you achieve precise poses quickly. If you want to spend more time drawing than posing your artist model, you cant beat Skelly. The other thing I love about Skelly is the fact that the developer deliberately kept the model generic. You get a skeleton and a robo skeleton, and thats it. At first glance, that may not seem like a benefit, but it really is. Without more specific details and even muscle masses, Skelly forces you to fill in the details from your imagination, so you dont have to actively tune out unwanted elements as you draw. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. Id love to see a simple undo function added. If they provided adjustment tools for the hips and ribcage or even just male and female proportions, that would be nice too. And while I appreciate the ability to save poses, The ability to pass poses between devices would be a real benefit to those of us who use both an iPad and an iPhone to illustrate, as you could build a pose on your iPad and then pull it up on your phone to have as a reference while you illustrate. None of these are deal-breakers though.

Great app. But hand articulation is required and the ability to export model as a 3D object. Would gladly pay more for the app with those additions

Fast! Easy to pose! Even on an OLD iPad 2! Can I give it 10 stars?
