Sketching from a Manikin

In this heavily illustrated lesson, I show you how to sketch a human figure from a wooden manikin. Manikins are wonderful models; they don't move, require no bathroom breaks, and don't talk your ears off!

Jan Myrz Jul.25th 2011: My manikin isn't a nice one, so posing it is a challenge in itself. I guess if I was more talented and had a better camera I might be able to show better pictures of my sketches. And I might get more into and out of sketching from a manikin.; Add your reply
