Head Study

Nothing too flashy about this app, it’s only got a handful of head models but they are very well rendered head models, especially the simplified plane head. Just needs an export to image option. Overall, pretty good.

Love Stephen’s art, videos, instruction, and this app! Such a simple, elegant interface. My only request would be a way to load my own models. There are times when I want a simpler planar model of a head, one with female proportions, or even something non non-human. Being able to utilize this elegant interface with my own meshes would be amazing. Assuming the in the app are a standard format like OBJ or glTF, I hope think this could be a fairly simple update. Regardless, thanks for the amazing app!

It’s possible to have the reference looking up or down, in profile, with the head tilted off axis. This isn’t possible with the other 3D modeling references I’ve tried (including the app I paid 30 bucks for).

Its refreshing to just be able to buy an app at a reasonable price without all he hassle of creating an account, saving a new password and having to deal with future spam. The app is great, if you come out with a female version I will buy that too

This is what you’ll need to get the perfect angle, lights and background reference for your portraits. All views are available; skull, mannequin, muscle, and head with plenty of planes. Definitely a work of art and care for the art community. I hope to see more of this app in the future. Maybe a female head too? Or young people? Perhaps full body? Thank you for this app. It’s such a game changer.❤️

It’s a great app, worth the money

The features in this app save you hours, and hours of tedious reference gathering for light options. If you combine the primary and secondary light sources in the same angle, you get a flashlight in your face effect. This app even nailed different colors for primary and secondary lighting. This app changes everything for me when it comes to portraits.

The lack of split view on ipad kind of defeats the purpose for me using it. I get their are other methods for displaying reference, but being able to edit and change the model while having Procreate open would be ideal. Overall great recourse, just needs some ironing out as far as accessibly and flush features go.

This elegant little app is an indispensable reference for anyone learning portraiture and studying the structure of the head. The user is able to intuitively orient the view to any perspective, light the subject however they’d like, and then toggle between the various construction states of the head: planes of the head, skull, and écorché. I’m looking forward to many hours studying and drawing from this.

Fantastic tool for artists, especially for portraiture.
