Create Reference Libraries

QuickRef allows you to use the images you already have. No need to upload or download anything. Organize the photos with the file manager that's already on your computer. Simply place some photos into a folder on your computer and create a library in QuickRef.

Configure Your Session

Similar to other tools online, a session in QuickRef is made up of intervals. Simply select a reference library, decide how long you want each image to display and how much time to rest between intervals. Then start the session!

Practice Offline

With QuickRef you can take your practice offline. Use it in fullscreen mode with a regular sketchbook or pin the window overtop of your favourite drawing program. Use it for gesture drawing or longer figure studies, with full control over the images you study with!

Customize

QuickRef offers many configuration settings to make the right practice experience for you.

Show a timer progress bar
Play chimes to alert you when intervals change
Change the visibility of toolbars
And more!
