About this app

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 youā€™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!

I really don't know why people say this is a great app. It has no "free" things to make it worthwhile. It doesn't change skin tone even tho I change the setting. It doesn't "bend at all the joints" like one reviewer said and honestly it's the same tired boring poses and references that most free apps have. Save your money and buy poseit or the proko app. You'll get more for your hard earned dollar. If I could return this app I certainly would. Very very disappointing.

The app is nice and useful, I like the ability to fine tune lighting and camera, the quality and quantity of the paid collections seem more than reasonable. (Developer added the feature, review score updated!) [from previous review:]Only sticking point and something I would really love to see is the ability to toggle textures added. Wanting to study raw forms and lighting of hands and feet becomes a bit harder due to the visual noise added by the textures. Would happily give 5 stars if added.

Hi there, the ability to toggle textures has been added in the newest update! Thanks for the suggestion, and I hope that helps you out.

I like the app. It has basic objects to use. A female skull should be included if there is a male skull. I like the basic 3D shapes. I rotate them to practice perspective. The fact I had to buy the app, but also have to buy the foot models is slightly disappointing but it's called handy so..... But it's not expensive. Just a dollar. Adding Torso's would be nice. Other amazing features like changing lighting & surface types/material and how it effects the models differently is great for learning.
