Mannequins

How the hell do you use these things?

[Anonymous No.7156692]

you pose it in the way you want to draw your character, and use the mannekin to draw your base sketch by following that pose/perspective before adding your own details like hair or clothes.

You don't. These mannequins are more a decorative piece than an actual artist tool. You're better off getting one of those fancy anime action figures or a stickybones as shown in >>7158578

I have anime mannequin, but it seems useless to me, because it’s a struggle to get natural pose. and it will only look good from one angle. it’s much better to find photo reference of a real person, then the pose will make sense.

It's mostly to understand foreshortening from different angles. You can pose it and see how certain body parts look foreshortened and where they are in space. Definitely not useless. A lot of people mistake it as a figure drawing reference, which it is not.

I use this thing though: >>7158056 which is good enough that it can inspire ideas. Usually what I do is I imagine a scene from nothing, then use the Sticky Bones puppet and recreate the pose. Then I look at it from different angles and many times I improve on my idea by seeing more interesting perspectives and/or making slight adjustments to the pose.

The ones I have I only really use for proportion or even basic shading/lighting guides. As for posing they’re trash and I’d just use an action figure instead
