Below is a list of the best drawing mannequins that I put together and are currently available.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quality mannequin will help you to correct the right scale, pose, and proportions when figure drawing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a drawing mannequin?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A drawing mannequin (or manikin) is a human figure that can be moved to a varying degree of poses for reference while drawing.  Mannequins can also be sold for individual body parts including the hands, skull, and feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common Drawing Mannequin Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Size<\/strong>: varies from a few inches to 12 inches tall.  A life-size hand mannequin provides a realistic pose from multiple angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender<\/strong>: can be sold separately or as a male and female set.  Proportions of both genders will also vary particularly in the waist and shoulders. Child size mannequins are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Material<\/strong>: is largely sourced from wood or PVC (polyvinyl chloride).  Wood is a traditional material and should last longer.  Plastic is often lightweight and may breakdown or weaken in poses over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessories<\/strong>: can include swords, computers, and even attachable hands at varying poses.  Accessories are often sold with plastic mannequin sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price Point<\/strong>: varies depending on the material, size, and accessories.  Most mannequins will cost around $20 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Artists Wooden Manikin by Blick is an affordable student-friendly full-body wooden mannequin that is flexible and can hold various poses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mannequin is a required art supply for figure and life drawing classes.\u00a0 The fixed stand allows the mannequin to hold various action poses while drawing.\u00a0 Available between 5.5 and 16 inches tall, you can see and draw subtle changes in the joints.\u00a0 However, the range of motion around the hip is limited which may make some specific poses difficult to draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
