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!

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
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!
Perfect
An excellent tool to help with the perspectives when dealing with challenging anatomy like hands and feet.
This app has help me to work on my light and shadow work. I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for creating this app. 🥳
Good but unfair
I purchased this app and was at first loving all of it. However after paying for it I soon discovered that you have to spend more money for full access.
Perfect
Literally a perfect app, I’m just surprised it doesn’t have a flat 5 star rating, like come on people this is as good as u can get.
Helpful tool!
From a concept artist in training I can say this app is really helpful. Quite surprising at how much you can control; lighting, position, etc.
Hands are usually really tricky so this comes in handy a lot since there’s quite a few hand gestures in different categories (race/gender) even the heads you can choose a full face or just the structure to cater to your needs. Always area for improvement but rlly cool so far :)
Great for art reference
I love this app and use it frequently. Like another reviewer said for a feature request, a curl (for whole finger movement) slider would be awesome. Eye rotation too if you were to get seriously fancy!
Thank you for this app :)
Really good app
Useful tool, good visuals and intuitive controls. A greater variety of animal skulls would be the only improvenent l’d suggest eg. more varieties of dog instead of just one generic “dog”.
Perfect for references
Wonderful app. One of the best available for artists
Must have
Only 5 minutes into using this app and I could already tell it's amazing. Super simple to use, yet super effective. It doesn't do a huge range of things and it doesn't have a lot of models, but the ones that it does have are extremely useful, in the way that you can pose and light them. The lighting system especially is great and very intuitive. For £2 you really can't go wrong here. Must have for any artist, especially if you do character art and/or portraits.
