As an artist you probably have drawn the human body several times
and realized how difficult it is to do it all from memory.
Especially when you are you are just a beginner or you're just
getting into drawing more complex figures like dynamic poses where
the body is in movement. When you're drawing the human body you
have to take a lot of different factors into account for the result
to end up looking as realistic as possible. Factors such as bone
structure muscles and other anatomic details are very important but
difficult to get right. This is why many artists use references
when drawing the human body. These references can be in the form of
an image or video but the problem with that is that these aren't
adjustable. When you want to draw a specific pose it can often be
hard to find the right reference pictures for example. This is
where an adjustable drawing model comes in handy. These adjustable
models are also often called drawing mannequins or drawing figures
and are available at most art stores. Unfortunately though these
wooden mannequins can be quite pricey for beginning artists and are
limited in their customizability and adjustability. Luckily you can
now get access to the same drawing mannequins but online and
completely for free! Online drawing models like the one above are
the perfect tool for every artist looking to practice drawing human
figures or dynamic poses. Simply adjust the body parts by dragging
them and rotate or move them along another axis by pressing the
other movement selectors on the left side of your screen. If you
don't want to take the time to create a pose you can also use one
of the preset poses on the right side of your screen or go to the
pose library. In the same menu you can even select one of the many
props for the model to interact with making your poses even more
interesting!
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.
After you've gotten used to the controls you can try out adding some basic props to the scene. You can select a prop like the chair for example and use it to create different sitting poses.
You can also use one of the more interactive props like the barbell or the bike to create more dynamic poses.
The prop menu also has a ton of different hand props to choose from. You can put them in the model's left or right and you can even combine them to have the model holding something in each hand. If you want to go even further you can even combine a ground prop like the bike with multiple hand props!
