Description

"Thanks to this useful app, drawing realistic hands can become a whole lot easier" - ImagineFX

"Pencillers, inkers, and colorists should all give this a look!" - Tony Moore, co-creator of The Walking Dead

If you're an artist and ever wanted just quick and easy drawing reference for hands, heads, or even feet (IAP) 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.

Perfect for comic book artists, painters, or just casual sketchers!

Featured in ImagineFX's Top 10 Must-Have Apps!

Great tool, just a couple of minor tweaks needed.

JWM80 on

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

Potts Famme on

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.

Handy

annoying ad overload on

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.

Hard gainer trainer on

I love using the app, it’s exactly what I was looking for in a reference guide.

Great app

Great app, would love to see more models in the future.

Amazing! But I have an idea I would love to see in the future

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

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!

This is a really great app! Very easy to use and very well designed! Highly recommend!

Great! But:

Chelseatonya on

Great app - best if its kind and worth the couple of dollars. Full body poses would be great. Bottom slider when editing poses is near impossible to use on iPhone X without your phone trying to change apps.
