Figure Drawing Garden Brings Sculpture Reference Practice to Steam on December 2
Josh O'Caoimh is developing Figure Drawing Garden, a Steam release set for December 2 that teaches human anatomy and drawing through 3D-scanned classical and Renaissance sculptures placed in a virtual garden.

Why it matters
The pitch is practice infrastructure rather than a game: lighting controls, construction-shape overlays, and a perspective grid target the beginner who already owns a sketchbook but lacks a live model.
Key Facts
- Figure Drawing Garden is scheduled for release on December 2.
- A demo of Figure Drawing Garden can currently be played on its Steam store page.
- Josh O'Caoimh is developing the game.
- The garden holds 3D-scanned classical and Renaissance sculptures used as drawing models.
- Scanning a sculpture's QR code lets players share drawings in a community gallery.
Players draw in a real sketchbook from the sculptures as models. A demo is playable now on the Steam store page.
The garden expands as the player draws, opening into monuments, fountains, and courtyards. Sculptures were chosen so players can study anatomical structure, dynamic poses, and a range of body types.
Support tools include a Dynamic Lighting Mode for moving a light source across a sculpture for shading practice, plus an overlay that replaces the body with simple shapes and a perspective grid. Challenge Sculptures are hidden in the garden to teach new techniques.
Scanning a sculpture's QR code lets players post drawings to a community gallery and view other artists' work. The game also supports garden customization and community-created model packs, which the store page suggests can cover anime, fantasy, and science fiction figures alongside classical ones.
