Handy Art Reference Tool Reviews

It feels like a joke.

Australia

It says $3, then took $25.98 AUD. It is not worth this money at all and half of the features are still locked behind another payment of ‘$3’ which I can only assume is another $26. Complete scam.

Great tool, just a couple of minor tweaks needed.

Probably the best hand posing tool on the market. Good selection of head busts and animal skulls as well. Would like to see a few additional skin colour options, and maybe both old and young hand models. The Foot model DLC is probably the only model that doesn’t look quite right, something about the rendering makes it look a lot more artificial compared to the Hand model. So, maybe a new rendering of the Foot is something to consider. Overall really great reference tool!

Valuable tool, could use some innovation

This is a worthwhile app but the controls are intuitive, but I do believe they could be fine tuned some more. It would be nice if we could rotate the necks on the head models.

I love this app, I love that you can rotate to the desired position. I’d love skeleton hands though, that’d be perfect!

Great app.

I love this app overall! it is easy to use, very affordable, and has helped me learn how to draw faces and hands. But I would love the facial models to have different expressions! I wouldn’t care if I had to pay for it, it would be worth it.

Great but....

Can we get faces to move there jaws, Animal heads, And more items to hold?

This app is awesome, would totally recommend!

ReubJuice on

Australia

This app helps me figure out the direction of lighting, and how facial structures work. I’ve also had trouble with hands for the longest time and this app has definitely changed that! I literally know how to draw hands now, which is nice. So, if you’re looking for an app for hand references, face references and lighting references, this one is the one for you. I would totally recommend it!

Excellent!
