Reviews for Handy Art Reference Tool

Scarlett Rugers

Love it except for when I just want to view a face and don't want to make a whole scene I have to click about 3 x's to exit. A small thing, and I get why you have scenes and it's good but still annoying. Other than that well worth the buy. I'm a beginner artist and it's helped immensely.

Honestly one of my favorite things to use for art references because even when getting the perfect photo for what I want to draw, there is still details like head position, hands, etc I often need a better reference of and that's where this tool comes into play. Especially since you can move the individual fingers of the hand models.

Very good for reference. Paying extra for the female foot and animals skulls are totally worth it! I expected there to be full model poses for reference but those can be found in other places. I love the lighting feature and the different references are super dynamic. 100% recommend this no matter what artist you are.

I mean. I love that you can change the colors of the lighting and such. But I was disappointed when that's all you could really do. The app would be 10/10 if they had full bodies too and if you can change the express of the head models. And if it was just more customizable all over. I'm disappointed. It had a lot a lot a lot of potential.

Exactly what it says on the tin! If you are an artist struggling with drawing heads and hands on multiple angles, i highly recommend this app! If you're looking for a more "complete" full 3d posable model experience, this app isn't for you, but if you got the gesture basics down but struggle in complex body structures, this one's for you!

The models are so low quality and the apps features are so limited I decided to go with Nomad sculpt and some free 3d models from artstation and gumroad. Initial cost was higher but its far better than this app that has already glitched and removed the in app purchases I made to unlock the content that should be free from the start. Thanks devs!

I love it! Sometimes its hard to look for references online but with this it made my life easier. There are presets already in the gallery you can change the lighting and angles of your desired pose and even adjust the structure of the hands or feet. Definitely worth the price. 💯👌

Asked for a refund because even though I paid for the app you still have to pay for other features like animal skulls or feet models. Also something that I was expecting is that they isn't any models of the body. Some good features like rotation and saving and they're alot of references for hands and head, therefore this app is great for that. I just don't expect to pay for other features after paying for the app, the feet model are even on show in the pictures.

My only issues are a) I wish there were more options for faces with different features, like thinner and thicker heads, maybe muscle vs skinny vs chubby, etc. The male head for example looks a bit too much like a body builder. And b) I wish there was a way to rotate the head without changing its angle to the camera, like clockwise or counter-clockwise, since getting it back to straight is almost impossible without restarting the app. Other than that it's a great reference tool.

The app is easy to use, has lots of useful tools - all very simple to get working, yet very effective - and takes but a few seconds to bring up a bunch asorted of references for Hands, Heads, Feet and Skulls. There ARE some stuff locked behind paywall, but they are very very cheap. I love the app, and it helped me out several times. I recommend it.
