    Dukstill

    Mural artist, Turkey

  • This mural took me only 45 minutes to sketch. It measures 18×3 meters, and using the doodle technique would have taken at least 4–6 hours.

    Mural artist, Spain

  • I discovered Sketchar during the pandemic in March, 2020 and I love it! The augmented reality sketch app has helped me improve my drawing skills via AR Drawing feature and stay away from the noise of social media.

    Painichi

    Industrial painter, Korea

  • Sketchar made us realize what’s possible in art education: three students on stage, painting a huge mural together in minutes–like one unified mind–because they’re working from the same image in different headsets.
