## 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 United Kingdom

### ***** "No subscriptions!"
Really useful and no greedy surprises of paywalls or subscriptions. I can see myself getting loads of use out of this. Thank you.
-- PhatCtrl, 2026-06-15

### ****- "OKish"
It’s certainly not brilliant but OK ish.

Shame.  If there was more substance to this app I’d willing pay a decent price for it.
-- IanR-M, 2024-07-22

### ***** "Excellent!!👍"
Best reference app ever.
Please, please can you do one for the full figure as other apps are nowhere near as good as this one.
-- Dangerous Mike 1, 2024-01-29

### ****- "Great app so far"
I have just downloaded it and my first mistake was not seeing if it was free and it did cost me some money but lucky for me I don’t spend it and had enough. This was on my behalf so it didn’t take away from the actual game. Other than this when it downloaded I got my socket book right out and started drawing I have gotten two done by this time and they look amazing .I saw this app on Tiktok and it was amazing advertising. As a young artist who is going into realism I can really say I love this app and so far it is with the money and I can’t wait for the help it will bring.
-- Catlpver, 2023-08-22

### ****- "Lighting"
I love this app, however I find the lighting quite confusing to operate. When I work that out it will be 5 stars.
-- SherbetAlien, 2023-08-06

### ***** "Great for all study work"
The ability and option on rotating light source is what makes this app perfect for me
-- Human sponge, 2023-04-16

### ****- "Very good for learning"
I’m a young artist and using apps like these are really useful for anatomy practice I like how you can rotate and use different faces. I just wish instead of buying the feet and animal skulls separately I’d rather pay a full amount than separately buying so keep that in mind when updating.I also wish there were different emotions and full body the it would be 5 stars. Great for every level of artist tho
-- M4ID4, 2022-01-10

### ***** "I wish I could swear…"
Because this app is ?£%*@/!^$ INCREDIBLE! Literally a must have for any artist. So many possibilities, extremely customisable. Does not disappoint!
