Just got this for an art learning project. Seems useful and well-made, so I'm happy to pay the lifetime premium (~$20 CAD). However, "lifetime" means nothing if it stops being supported, so I hope the dev keeps it viable for at least a few years.

The app is well built and very user friendly! I was reading down the comments and saw the developer mention creating the option for custom expressions! That would honestly be my greatest selling point to buy the full version! Also, I would love to see an asaro female head! This is an amazing software, great job! Sounds great! What other platforms do you have your app, and is it available for PC?

Great app perfect for mapping plane changes on the head and lighting concepts. The only thing that would make this app better is if you could change the color of the model. Then you could see how colored light affects different skin tones.

App is literally everything I've been looking for! It's simplistic nature has everything you need, If Possible however I think this app has alot of potential, And would love to see a full body male and female model that's adjustable, I think this app could dominate the competition if so!

Clean app UI but a little restricted. You can't export into external modelling programs like Blender or Mudbox. It could be more than a basic head reference for artists. Emphasis on BASIC whilst it's in a free state. The free head model is very low-polygon, and only useful for blocking in the rough head shape. Paywall access to different eyes or lips etc. Can't change skin colour. Can't manipulate polygons (there are preset sliders for "cheek width"). Can't subdivide or add anti-aliasing.

The app itself is great for what it is, but everything is behind a paywall. I can understand that it takes a lot of money to make a program like this, but the model doesn't even include lips! The free version of the app would be great if the lips were free.

amazing very helpful. only 1 problem. I wish you could move the camera free roam instead of being a still object.

Highly useful app and imo worth paying for. I don't have to spend so much time looking up photo references of exact poses I need. Poly models have more customizability than realistic models so I tend to use those the most, but new customization options are being added all the time.

Exactly what it offers. Lifetime premium is £14.99, which does feel overpriced. Would max pay £10 for it as, ultimately, it isn't significantly advanced (there's also a monthly pay option, but this always frustrates me with apps like these as it's never affordable). It is unique and is very informative for art, so I definitely do recommend the download.

I've been using this app since last year, and had quite a number of head models saved. Bought the premium in November. Today, when I opened the app after a few months, I cannot see any other head model except the Basic Loomis model. Did you guys remove all the detailed head models?? Then my subscription just goes to waste. Edit: Changed rating after finding out that there're a lot of new detailed models now. As the UI has changed (I think) I didn't think of scrolling down the head models chart.

this app is great for learning to draw. it helped me to improve my drawings drastically. I would like to make a suggestion if that's okay. in skull model can you guys make an option to open the jaw, that would help a lot. And also the screen turns off while using its frustrating. Everytime screen turns off I have to unlock my phone and use the app or I have to increase time in the screen lock option in my phone. Make an inbuilt option for screen off time. thank you.

Within 3 mins of my experience with this app the head disappeared and wouldn't come back. I used the in-app option of "resetting pose" multiple times, nothing. I restarted the app, nothing. I restarted my phone and still nothing. It seems this issue has been around for a while so avoid spending money on the premium options until this bug is fixed for sure. 3 mins is all it took for me to break it and all I did was rotate the head. Edit: reinstalling fixes this issue but that's not ideal.

It does exactly what it says it does. Even what is offered for free is very useful. There's the default model but also a free 3D rendered bust of Apollos, which allows for more interesting cast shadows. I can imagine that the premium version is even better! I have not found anything wrong with this app so far.

While the app has nice customize features and is a great tool, it makes audio jumbled if I have something playing. And now it won't load and keeps crashing. I paid for the premium version too.

I have just installed it and tried out the controls . It promises to give you and endless possibilities of angles, rotation and opportunities to learn to draw heads from the most basic to the complex skill sharpening finish . It practically a model in your pocket everywhere you go . Your workspace follow you everywhere. Awesome .

This app is amazing 😭 I was stuck on a portrait lighting study and this app helped me figure it out...💕 The models are so diverse and well done. I love the simple yet effective functionality 👌🏾 My fave art reference app for the planes of the head and models or different ethnicities x I got the lifetime version, which for me is absolutely worth it!

The app is really basic and everything (I mean EVERYTHING) is behind a really steep pay wall. More varied lighting or presets would be nice, as well as neutralized environmental lights (I can see the colored light being an issue for new artists who can't read value well yet). So I think it needs to include the basic head variations and drop the price by, like, 80% to make it of value. But it's a nice idea.

Very interesting and I think perfect as a guide for lighting and shadows. Personally tho what I would love to see is some basic expressions on the step by step models, or the ability to move the mouth to open as well as maybe allowing the eyes to be moved in different directions. For what it is I love it but a little more customizability would be wonderful.

I love this app. I purchased the lifetime membership as it's honestly 100% worth it, and relatively inexpensive. I feel like it's important to support developers who make these kind of useful, non-gimmicky art tools. You can tell Wes really cares. Edit: I'm adjusting my review in light of the new update. I am so impressed by the new expression tool; it's a game changer for drawing expressions from multiple angles. This app was already more than worth it, but now it's a must have for me!

When you download the app you are presented with a planed face. Awesome, love it. With the free version you can click on the Loomis ball and have access to that. Also great. However once you click that Loomis ball you can't get the planed head back without deleting and reinstalling the app; At least in my case. I'd love to be able to feely switch between the 2 so that I know I'll get enough value from the app before paying for full access
