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.

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!

Hello, thank you for developing this app! It has always been a great assistant when I draw. However, I recently encountered a serious issue: I can’t open the app. The interface gets stuck in an endless loading loop before reaching the main menu. I hope this bug can be fixed as soon as possible. Thank you! P.S. My phone is running iOS 18.1.1 for your reference.

The best app for quickly referencing heads, skulls, hands, feet and more! Light and surfaces are also adjustable.

Well the app have quite a lot of head to use as a reference by artwork but I think there should be be one anime like head.

Well, I assume that the developers have stopped supporting this app, which is extremely sad. But just in case, I will still write about one very annoying bug. Every time I swipe the screen to change the pose of the model, it starts to wobble in all directions, and even a micro-touch is enough, the model spins like crazy in all directions. The only way to rotate the model smoothly is with arrows, but it is extremely inconvenient because it is slow and also forces you to keep the model as far away as possible. Besides, there are no arrows in the light settings, but the same problem exists.

As an artist looking custom lighting setups for portrait reference on the fly, Handy blew my mind, I use it every time I paint and draw.

By far the best beginner 3D reference software I’ve used yet! The posing is quite easy to figure out and gives you a lot of range for what you can do. The lighting features are also really useful for figuring out planes and such!

It says $3, then took $25.98 AUD. It is not worth this money at all and half of the features are still locked behind another payment of ‘$3’ which I can only assume is another $26. Complete scam.
