## Handy Art Reference Tool 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!

## Handy Art Reference Tool Reviews in Canada

### ***** "the tool you always wish existed"
As an artist looking custom lighting setups for portrait reference on the fly, Handy blew my mind, I use it every time I paint and draw.
-- Tugnette, 2024-08-24

### ***** "Super easy and intuitive!"
By far the best beginner 3D reference software I’ve used yet! The posing is quite easy to figure out and gives you a lot of range for what you can do. The lighting features are also really useful for figuring out planes and such!
-- meppine, 2024-08-20

### ***** "Great App!"
Posing is easy and intuitive. So handy!
