a tutor sees it.

Upload an illustration straight from Photoshop. ArtGrader reads the fundamentals with real pixel math, tells you exactly what’s working and what isn’t — grounded in actual art theory — and can even correct your own image so you can see the difference. Or just learn from the words. Your call.

How it works

Four steps, about a minute.

  1. 1
    Upload

    Drop in a PNG/JPG. Nothing is sent anywhere — it’s analysed locally.

  2. 2
    Read the grade

    An overall score plus four category breakdowns, each with the real numbers behind it.

  3. 3
    Learn the theory

    Every note links to a principle — notan, color temperature, the key light, the rule of thirds.

  4. 4
    Fix or learn

    Apply a real correction to your image and compare — or just absorb the lesson. You decide.
