FaceRef Studio

Study the human head from every angle.

FaceRef Studio puts a 3D head on your desk while you draw. Rotate it with one finger, pinch to zoom, and light it the way you need - then get back to your paper or tablet.

25 MODELS ACROSS 4 CATEGORIES
Basic - two plane-broken heads, plus sphere, cube, cone and cylinder for blocking out forms
Classic - the Asaro head in simple and detailed versions, and a skull
Stylized - male, female and teen sculpts
Detailed - realistic male and female heads, with and without hair

LIGHT IT YOURSELF
Three spotlights you can move, dim and recolour. Drop a key light from above, kick in a rim from behind, and watch the planes of the face resolve the way they do in life.

SEE THE FORM
Switch on the wireframe to read the topology underneath - useful when you are working out how one plane turns into the next. Tint the model to any colour to take the guesswork out of a value study.

KEEP WHAT YOU FIND
Tap the shutter to save a clean shot of the model straight to your photo library. No interface in the frame, just the reference.

BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY
No account. No ads. No internet connection required - the app never goes online, so nothing you do here leaves your device.
