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!
