Wooden Artist Manikin - 12 Inches

Product Information

The figures are bendable and easily posable (even their feet have joints so they can stand on tiptoes), but also able to hold in their position. Since they are meant for action poses, you can make truly superhero things out of them, and their joints would totally allow that.

Practice makes perfect, and this well-made sturdy figure would be your companion for a long time. You most likely won’t be able to bend it unnaturally the way a human body cannot bend. Busts made of stone or metal may not seem like a good fit for your existing decor. Fortunately, there are many ways for a seemingly incongruous piece to fit in with the rest of your room’s theme. You can embrace a dramatic piece by making it the focal point of the room, or you can choose to incorporate several elements made out of the same material to create harmony in your space. If an antique or more dramatic piece doesn’t feel like you, why not opt for works comprising plastic, fiberglass or other more modern materials?

Styling your home with vintage, new and antique sculptures means adding a touch that can meaningfully transform the space. By introducing a sculptural work as a decorative finish to any interior, you’re making a statement, whether you tend toward the dramatic or prefer to keep things casual with modest, understated art. Using the mannequin, you should start with trying out some simple poses to get used to adjusting the body parts and using all the different movement controls on the left. This set contains two rather detailed mannequins – a male and a female figure. Both of them come with their own separate stand for doing action poses, as well as extra sets of hands with various gestures. It’s a very useful thing and would help you create more realistic references. Using references when you draw people is a great learning experience as well. You can just sketch people in public places or use online galleries for sketch practicing. References will help you learn how to draw certain poses, facial expressions, clothes, how human proportions look, and how the body parts are positioned.A skull is a very useful thing to sketch in general, because it has a lot of fascinating parts that cast different shadows at different light angles. Using this model as a reference will improve your skills and help you understand what’s under human facial skin, how facial features are constructed and how to draw them. Most mannequins are desktop-sized, so they make for superb table ornaments if they come with a stand. Usually, they are quite small and are the same size as your hands or arms. The smaller-sized ones can be as small as 6 inches, and the larger ones can go up to 13 or 15 inches. Mannequin accessories You can also use one of the more interactive props like the barbell or the bike to create more dynamic poses. This mannequin isn’t too detailed. However, it’s still a little fancier than the most standard unisex wooden figurine. Why? Because the paint makes it look more stylish, it’s held together with screws and has a more realistically bending torso.

As you can see, there is a large variety of reference models for different occasions, body types and body parts. From cheap to expensive, they will allow you to study, sketch, improve your skills, and make your creative ideas come to life in a realistic way. Both of the mannequins are pretty compact – 13-15 cm – so you would be able to carry them with you and sketch on the go if you want. Even with the stands, they won’t take up much space. Other Cool Thingies“Extras” Drawing mannequins are versatile tools for artists that have numerous possible uses. Most of the time, they are used for simple sketches and drawings. They are useful references for character design. Aside from this, these mannequins can also be used in paintings, photography, cosplay, stop motion animation, clay animation, and modeling. Some people also just enjoy collecting these figures as a hobby or for home decor. Materials used for drawing mannequins Since this model is life-sized, it won’t be too easy to carry and travel with. However, it’s still very good to use at home or in class. So, what’s an artist going to do to find references for their work and study them? The answer is getting your own human mannequin. Full-size shop mannequins won’t be of any use, but artistic ones would be very good at it, and medical mannequins can assist with studying anatomy as well.
