Fantastic, will only be made better by future updates
The thing about drawing hands for storyboards, comics, illustration etc is that they need to be incredibly specific to the action and angle and lighting with which you're working. I think this app is a HUGE help for artists who are tired of avoiding the tough poses. There are features I'd love to see added in future updates like female hands and faces, different face weights and expressions, but what is present is already extensive. You have a lot of control with this app, and it is easy and fast to achieve desired results. I am looking forward to applying this to my work. Great job!

This IS handy!
This app is very handy indeed! As a hobbyist artist, hands are one hard thing to get down, and this reference is great! Love how you can change lighting and get full rotation of the poses! Glad they added a head as tilted heads are also difficult to capture. The only thing I would want is ability to thin or fatten the models, and maybe someday have a facial expression package! Keep at it guys, we arty folks could really use great refs like these!

Where da' ladies at? (Not in this app)
Great app, but like the title says... In need of female hands / heads too! Please show the ladies some love fellas.

Hey, let's support these guys! They're serious about this!
This is a very promising update. When I first bought Handy, I was a tad underwhelmed by the slapdash look and minimal amount of poses, several of which were pretty useless. I didn't feel ripped off because it worked very well, but I didn't think there would be any serious follow-up. So, I'm really happy to see an update with a lot of new, and useful, poses, the new 3D head, and other improvements, and a prominently displayed promise of more to come! It's hard to overestimate the convenience of a good collection of 3D hands, especially when they rotate in every possible direction and can be illuminated from all sides with multiple light sources, all very quick and easy. The new head works just as well. It would be great to see more 3D modeling apps available; let's make these guys super successful to encourage them and others to expand the possibilities.

Very handy
Freaking love it. So many key poses that I find myself needing to draw from various perspectives.
