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!

Artist’s dream

This app is probably one of the best apps I’ve EVER downloaded!!! Hands have always been so hard for me, for years I’ve struggled with them, until I found this app. Being able to to pose the hands however I want at whatever angle I want has proven to be beyond useful, I’m finally able to grasp the hand anatomy the more I study these models!! I honestly don’t know what I’d do without this app, I didn’t realize how much I use it until I opened my app recently and was told I’ve opened it 100 times! (I thought the message was so cute!). Not only hands, but the head models I can pose have saved me. Being able to adjust the lighting allowed me to better understand how to shade my characters faces! Overall I am so utterly grateful for this apps existence!!!! To all artists out there, if you don’t have this app yet - get it!! You won’t regret it!

Literally the best art reference app I’ve ever seen

Art is something that truly helps me out in life, but recently, I had been struggling to find the drive to finish anything I started. This singlehandedly fixed that. If you have any interest in drawing humans, I suggest you get this app immediately. The only issue I can think of is that it’s pretty intensive on your battery, but as long as you can charge your device while using it, that won’t even be an problem. Beyond that, everything is near flawless. All of the features are virtual lifesavers when it comes to specific references and even just general understanding of your subject. The interface is intuitive and responsive, all of the menus are easy to navigate, and the developer support is great, too. Easiest five star rating I’ve ever had the pleasure of giving.

The App for artists, 05/02/2022

Great for artists

This app has been so helpful. Not only does it help with anatomy but it also helps with lighting. It’s great for reference and it’s come to a point where I cannot live without this app.

Although the app is perfect in my opinion, I do believe there should be new things added. I think it would be great to add even more light sources and to be able to position them on a xyz plane. And most importantly, it would be amazing to if there would be full body models that we can position. I would happily pay for these features.

Other than that, this app is amazing. It’s definitely worth the money.

Get this app!

Look, I’m a professional artist, been published in comics for over 20 years. THIS app is what it’s all about. My greatest weakness is hands and feet. I get by, but this app helps me do more than just that. If you’re an artist and want to spend a couple of bucks on an app, make it this one. The updates coming up are even better, too (adding weapons, etc.) I wish I had something like this when I was first starting out in comics. - Jimmie Robinson

Get it!

Like was said, if you are a serious artists - get it! I have (with MUCH practice) become quite proficient drawing/painting hands and feet. It is an acquired skill granted, and most powerful, since hands (and feet) can be very expressive, second only to faces. Handy makes it so much easier to get the pose you want, AND the lighting you want. Also, being African-American, I do so appreciate providing Black models as well with the ability to adjust skintones! Thanks Scott!

Mrsfab555, 18/11/2020

I love you guys!!

You have come up with more perfection!! You have always been amazing from day one and it just keeps getting better! I am very proud of your hard work and incredible imaginations. I think most of us artists have troubles with hands and feet, until you I’ve had 45 years of monster hands and feet, haha! I was hiding them in pockets, coats, folded arms, plants, etc. of my caricatures. Now I look like I might know what I’m doing, 😄

CodenameCristata, 19/12/2019

IF YOU

Don't like hands? Find drawing heads from different perspectives difficult? Have issues figuring out how fingers would logically be positioned? Find lighting difficult to predict and figure out?

Then this app may just be for you.

Seriously, this app lives up to it's namea very well. I honestly would have so many more issues with hands without it and it helps a lot with heads and lighting as well.

Madaelideo, 19/02/2018

Amaaaaazing stuff

As a sequential artist at SCAD I have to draw hands a ton! It was so hard finding specific hand references. Also feet! Boy do I have to draw lots of those. Man it was a pain, but not anymore! I tell all my friends about this app (plz sponsor me lol) anyways, I’m a huge fan. This has been so helpful with anatomy. The lighting features are also super cool and let you adjust both day, night, and artificial light around the body piece.

vanettda, 11/09/2023

I use it every day!

I’m a professional illustrator and believe you can never have too much reference. A lot of reference you can get via Google, but often you need *just* the right angle. I have a full body reference poser that is also invaluable (artPose Pro) but when I need hands this app hits it out of the park. Truly a must have app!

Tulrin, 01/02/2019

Getting better all the time

The developers keep working on this app adding new content and improving the app overall. I started with the first release and have grown more impressed every year since.

Worth every penny if you are an artist or just enjoy looking at hands and feet, disembodied heads or various skulls...

I have found it invaluable over the years for reference and for practice.
