Sketch a Day review
A motivating mobile sketching community for regular practice, not comprehensive art instruction.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sketch a Day is a mobile drawing-practice and art community app for beginners, hobbyists, and experienced artists. Its central feature is a new drawing prompt each day, supported by step-by-step video tutorials and artist guides. Users can upload sketches, share them with the community, follow creators, comment on artwork, and collect famous artworks in a personal gallery. With iOS and Android apps, it suits learners who want a regular creative routine supported by social sharing.
The app’s strongest area is daily practice. Drawing streaks, milestones, achievement badges, monthly recap graphics, and personal galleries give users several ways to track and reflect on participation. The community layer adds comments, likes, follows, and artist profiles, while Gold membership adds a portfolio website, a personalised in-app profile, artist private chat, and an ad-free experience. Free access keeps the core prompt-and-sharing loop available, with optional Supporter and Gold memberships through in-app purchases.
Sketch a Day is a good fit for people who need motivation, prompts, and a friendly place to share work. It is less suitable for learners seeking a complete curriculum, verified instructor feedback, or live classes. The step-by-step tutorials and artist guides provide learning support, but the product’s focus remains consistent sketching and community participation rather than broad, structured instruction. Choose it for a lightweight daily habit and social accountability; choose another art-learning app if guided teaching and formal class formats are priorities.
