What fits

SpeedSketchstrong · 92

SpeedSketch is made for timed gesture/figure drawing practice and lets you pick reference sources from folders on your own device, then run sessions for a specified amount of time with shuffle/random selection. It includes session modes like custom schedules with breaks and an endless mode, so you can start and stop timed practice runs based on your chosen references.

Best for: Running timed gesture/figure drawing sessions that randomly cycle through your own photo reference folders.

Same approach: iDraw - Gesture Drawing Timer 86

Partly fits

Draw Gestures : Figure Drawingpartial · 62

It supports timed gesture practice and lets you use your own photos, but it’s also centered on its built-in reference pose library rather than being purely your personal randomized pool.

Won’t cover: It may not feel like a tool where your uploaded pool is the primary randomized source for every session.
