Description
3D Fully Lit Art Reference for Artists! Need a specific hand pose? Need quick lighting reference? Animal skull reference? Handy's got all that.
"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!

Ratings and Reviews
Absolutely love the update and...
Have been using the app for years, hugely helpful, but to be honest I haven’t put in a feature request before now as I thought the app was not an actively worked on thing. But... with the last update, I now have a request.
Can you add a curl slider? If you select a joint on a finger, a curl slider, to slowly curl the whole finger would be hugely helpful, rather than having to curl each part individually every time. That’s definitely helpful, but a curl would be great... anyway... just some thoughts on an already outstanding app.
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.
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.
