The drawing-practice alternative to Skillshare
Skillshare gives you a subscription library of pre-recorded video classes to watch. Croqui does something different: you draw, and a council of three AI mentors looks at your actual work and tells you what to fix. Active practice with feedback — not passive watching.

Why artists choose Croqui
Feedback, not just lessons
A video teaches the same thing to everyone. Croqui responds to the specific drawing in front of it — what's working, what to fix, what to practice next.
Three mentors on every piece
Each upload gets three perspectives, each with a different focus — not one flat critique and not a comment section.
Built around a daily habit
Short, repeatable practice with fast feedback beats binge-watching a course you forget a week later.
Frequently asked questions
Is Croqui a good alternative to Skillshare?
Yes, if your goal is to improve at drawing specifically. Skillshare gives you video classes to watch; Croqui reviews the drawings you actually make with a council of three AI mentors and tells you what to practice next.
Does Croqui have video courses like Skillshare?
No. Croqui isn't a course library — it's a practice-and-feedback tool. You draw, upload your work, and get structured notes, rather than watching lessons.
How much does Croqui cost?
The free plan is free forever, with no credit card required to start. Pro is $6.99/mo and Premium $16.99/mo — less when billed yearly.
Can Croqui replace a drawing teacher?
No. Croqui is a daily practice tool that fills the gap when a mentor isn't around — a fast second read on your work, not a replacement for real human critique.
What can I submit to Croqui?
Any drawing: rough sketches, studies, watercolor, or digital illustration, at any stage, in English or Russian.
