Handy Art Reference Tool

If you're an artist and ever wanted quick and easy drawing references for hands, heads, or even feet without awkwardly posing your own limbs in front of a mirror, then Handy Art Reference Tool is the app you need! This innovative tool is specifically designed for artists, featuring several rotatable 3D limbs with diverse poses that are incredibly useful for drawing. You can even customize your own poses for hands, feet, and skulls to better suit your specific artistic needs.

The app is also equipped with a fully adjustable 3-point lighting system, giving you the ability to get easy lighting references while working with any of the 10+ included 3D head busts. This feature is particularly helpful for estimating shadows and highlights from different angles, making it a valuable companion for painters and sketch artists alike.

Additionally, the app offers access to an Animal Skulls pack which consists of over 10 different animal species, providing great anatomical references and inspiration for creature designs. However, be mindful that features like foot rigs and the Animal Skull pack require additional purchases.

As of version 5.1, a new feature allows users to edit the materials of models, enabling selective texture adjustments and tinting. This adds a new layer of customization and creative freedom for artists wishing to delve deeper into their work.

The Handy Art Reference Tool is not just a great app—it's also an essential tool for comic book artists, painters, or casual sketchers who want to elevate their drawing skills and reference efficiently on the go. With its relatively low price and promising features, it has easily secured its place in ImagineFX's Top 10 Must-Have Apps!
