This app is a simple visual reference that helps artists study lighting on both heads and full bodies.

For head studies, you can rotate the model freely to match your drawing angle, then move the light around to observe how shadows shift across planes. Adjust direction and intensity to explore soft lighting, strong contrast, or more dramatic setups.

For body studies, the app introduces poses in motion. Play through movement, pause at any moment that feels interesting, and use it as a reference. Once paused, you can rotate the body and adjust the lighting to study how light interacts with the figure from different angles. This makes it easier to understand form, gesture, and lighting together.

The app is designed to be quick and distraction-free. Use it alongside your sketchbook or tablet while drawing. It works well for quick studies, lighting experiments, or as a reference while refining your work.

Useful for artists at any level, this tool helps you draw heads and figures with more confident lighting, clearer shadow placement, and a stronger sense of form.....without guessing. ## Rankings - #1,613,195 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.utopianstudios.planarhead.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Head Study](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.stephenbaumanartwork.headstudy2) — 1,693 users, 4.50 / 5 - [Art Atelier: Art Reference](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.lakesidecoding.artatelier) — 103 users - [Cranio Head Study](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.drawgestures.araso.headstudy) — 780 users - [Head Model Studio](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.castain.headmodel) — 333,283 users, 4.62 / 5 - [Handy Art Reference Tool](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.beliefengine.handyapp) — 89,075 users, 4.68 / 5 - [Head Drawing Studio](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.zainabed.games.asaro) — 13 users - [3D Anatomy for the Artist](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.catfishanimationstudio.AnatomyForTheArtistLite) — 931,920 users, 3.38 / 5 - [Action Anatomy Lite](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.CGILAB.ActionAnatomy_Lite) — 127,033 users, 3.01 / 5 - [Face Model - 3D Head pose tool](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.nevato75.facemodel) — 1,854 users, 3.38 / 5 - [Body Sketch & 3D Body Model](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bodysketch.app) — 535 users - [3D Pose Maker: Body References](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.infylab.easypose3d) — 3,981 users, 2.33 / 5 - [Drawing from References](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.fnx.draw) — 575,582 users, 3.99 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.utopianstudios.planarhead)
