GestureDrawing!
GestureDrawing! is a handy app for Windows and Mac that lets you use your own image collections to create timed drawing sessions (put to good use all that reference images on your computer!).
Just point it to a folder on your computer and it will scan it and it's subfolders for images. Then, select a session type that fits you (Practice, Class, Relaxed or Custom) and it will shuffle your images and present them one after another for the specified amount of time.
It's the closest thing to having a live model session in your studio, whenever you want!
