I don't have one.

Are they useful?

Wouldn't it be more wise to have male and female proportioned ones?

I don't use them for drawing, but preordered these babies last week.

I have a small 5 inch one that use to help with foreshortening.

Sometimes the basic forms in picture aren't really clear, so I bust out the mannequin. It gives you a good sense of how to break the pose down into basic forms, the amount of overlap, etc.

You can do that without a mannequin, but I find that it does really help with approaching extreme foreshortening.

It's on the way.

There's a variety of them coming out soon.

It just works

Anyone have one of these?

They look flimsly and fragile, is it worth?

As long as you don't drop it

>>2505691
First time I've seen them. Are they really fragile or something?

Mine

That looks pretty stupid.

The whole point of a mannequin is the simplification of basic forms.

This has weird chest/pelvis shapes and flimsy stick limbs.

is it cheating to use a 3d pose software

I use it occasionally for perspective/practicing perspective
but I don't rely on it

>>2505539
Mine is an old piece of rigid shit, so I use the DesingDoll sofware.

If not that, then what?

It's shit for gestures, it's shit for anatomy. I think mannequins are borderline worthless as it is, but I certainly can't imagine what you would use some kind stick figure action doll mother fucking ass looking thing for.

>>2506044
Mannequins are used for conveniently designing and tweaking poses. Today, along with photo references, they fill the niche that once was predominantly filled by live models.

>>2505688
I ordered the smaller, plastic "rider" version after someone shilled it in the last thread.

I'm quite happy with it. The only real difference to the bigger one is it doesn't have poseable fingers.

It does feel a bit delicate, but I haven't broken it yet, and you can order replacement parts anyway since it's been designed to be modular.

>>2505909
Huh? No, the point of a mannequin is to keep proportions under control in difficult poses and perspectives. The A9 is good because it's close to how a human skeleton would be shaped. Obv. you'll have to construct the flesh around it

Work in progress

>>2505544
un-human bicep insertions and tricep volume on the male model...

It's stiff as shit. Thinking of getting these though. >>2505544

You keep on proving you're a pedo. How much is that doll anyway? $400?

>>2506916
about 25$ for the body+head

About 70/80$ for clothing

>>2506916

Also, fortunately i have an hairdresser friend that makes haircuts for my dolls
he is a closet weeabo too so no problem

I'm considering getting one of these

>>2505920
No rules, only tools

>>2506998
I've always thought those looked rad as fuck. I have a pair of surprisingly posable jap figurines on my desk that come in handy at times.

Using any thing not rock on wall cheating.
You hack.
You trash.
Quit!

but whatever floats your boat, i guess.

Why does this have the anatomy of a trap? Might help with my furry lewds though?

>>2507327
It is a trap.

>>2507632
Lemme put it on my list then <33.

Are these things even useful?

>>2507703
Doesn't even have contraposto, big turnoff for me.

>>2507708

I don't use or care about this thing...I just kind of have it. I think an exgirlfriend bought it for me.

got one of these, useful for reference.

Yo man, like, what the fuck.

I want one !

>>2507698
ooh, I like this one

>>2507735
How much?

>>2509044

I got mine at a workshop for cheap, but you're looking at about £60 might be able to find them for less elsewhere.

Yo can I get a closeup of that neck and lumber articulation?

>>2505920
no

>>2506289
You got biceps and triceps mixed up I think. Those triceps look tiny to me.
