Handy Art Reference Tool Description

If you're an artist and ever wanted just quick and easy drawing reference for hands, heads, or even feet* without having to awkwardly pose your limbs in front of a mirror, this app is for you!

HANDY® is an artist's reference tool, consisting of several rotatable 3D limbs with a variety of poses useful for drawing. You can also customize and edit your own poses for hands, feet, and skulls.

Fully adjustable 3-point lighting means you can get easy lighting reference when using any of the 10+ included 3D head busts. Handy if you’re painting and need to know what shadows the head casts from a certain angle!

Also available is the Animal Skulls pack*. With over 10 different animal species, it's great for anatomical reference or creature design inspiration.

[*Foot rigs and Animal Skull pack require additional purchase]

NEW in Handy v5: Edit the materials of models! Selectively turn off their textures, adjust their specularity, or tint them a certain color.

Comments about Handy Art Reference Tool Android Version

Pretty good app! I appreciate the detailed skin texture, tendons, and veins in the hands, and the variety of head types are nice. There are things I wished were better though. The interface and controls can be a bit confusing, especially with relation to moving items and light sources. It could really use with an undo button as well. I would also appreciate more pose presets and props, especially smaller handheld props like cups, pens, and cigarettes.

I like the app. It has basic objects to use. A female skull should be included if there is a male skull. I like the basic 3D shapes. I rotate them to practice perspective. The fact I had to buy the app, but also have to buy the foot models is slightly disappointing but it's called handy so..... But it's not expensive. Just a dollar. Adding Torso's would be nice. Other amazing features like changing lighting & surface types/material and how it effects the models differently is great for learning.

I don't usually write reviews, but Handy absolutely earned it. With brand new (free!) features being added such as subsurface scattering, new high-resolution models, and ability to load multiple models in a scene, they've established themselves as one of my essential tools for digital art. I recommend it to anyone who is starting out drawing or rendering and needs that solid anatomical/lighting foundation. Can't wait to see what features they will come out with in the future!
