Glad to help or at least confirm that some ideas you have are desired by others like me. I'll be in touch later about the tutorial site.

Cheers!

I hope you don't mind me creating this thread. I think you've got the beginnings of a really excellent tool and I've found that when you'r attempting to build software it really helps to have user suggestions, desires, and feedback.  I've been bouncing between your site and this one http://lovecastle.org/draw/ and overall I like this one better mainly because I can set up an entire "class" or session. That idea is gold.

So I'd like to start that here with the hopes that I'm not stepping on your toes.

A short list of suggestions/improvements:

It would be really nice to have the images centered and fit to screen. The lovecastle.org site does this and I really love it.

Move the Controls to the top, center of the image and add in the ability use the controls via keyboard. At least pause. If I'm interrupted I really don't like wasting precious seconds by fumbling with the mouse to pause. This feature would be stellar. Forward, rewind, and stop are probably not as useful as keyboard commands, but you might want to code them while you're in there.

Give users the option to see the timer count down or leave it hidden. It could be dimmed so to not be too distracting. An option to this would be to play a ding just a couple seconds before a new pose. Maybe just a ding at the end of the timer then a 2-3 second pause to allow the user to flip a page or grab a new pencil (or reach up and pause).

The ability to build your own class would be really nifty.

Another feature that I think would be interesting are things like the ability to make a log of your usage of the site and comment on your drawings that day, like a journal. Some might want to do this in their sketchbooks, but I think it would encourage frequent use of the site.

Last feature I think many would be interested in is the ability to do a the same group of images that others do. That way it could be more like a class where everyone is drawing the same thing we can all talk about the curves of a particular figure and what was difficult or what we had fun with.

I could probably sit and come up with these all night. If you haven't seen the lovecastle.org site you should check it out. It has some good features which would be awesome to integrate into this website. Maybe the creator would be interested in joining forces?

I'd also be willing to assist, but only have a couple hours a week I could dedicate to this site. I'm also working on a site dedicated to becoming a better artist. I'm focusing on getting down a bunch of 5-10 minute exercises that can be combined together however the student believes it would best fit their needs. I've only just started editing it today and moving it to a more permanent site, so I don't have much to show, but the ideas pretty much just have to be written. Once I have it more developed I'll share it with you and maybe you'd even be interested in hosting it here. I'd be thrilled to help artists get as much free instruction as possible on the internet.

Let me know what you think. I really like what you've done here. Thank you!

Hi there. The website seems to work OK on my phone and tablet. The image placement and sizing isn't ideal, but I think it would be not hard to improve on. Also I think that if you don't actually build an app, but made the website so that it was mobile friendly you'd still be within your image usage rights.  Plus it would save you from having to build another java app. I hope this suggestion helps. Cheers! (ps the new site overhaul looks great)
