Co-founder pitches, sourced and curated.

The Idea
A mobile app that uses AI to teach users how to draw in anime and stylized styles — starting with their own selfie. Instead of generating art for you, it acts as a step-by-step coach: breaking down a photo into foundational anatomy guides (circles and lines) and walking users through recreating it themselves in a gamified curriculum.

Who It's For
People who want to learn to draw, particularly those drawn to anime and digital art culture. Targets the gap between "AI does it for you" and actually developing a creative skill.

What's Built
No-code prototype built in Base44 covering the core user journey — gamified mastery levels, a touch-responsive drawing studio, and the selfie-to-skeleton learning flow. About 70% functional as a demo.
