Wooden Manikin 30cm

The Wooden Manikin 30cm is an essential tool for teaching and practising the foundations of figure drawing and human anatomy. This adjustable anatomical model accurately represents the human body's proportions and movement, making it a valuable reference for students learning real-life sketching, gesture drawing, or exploring human form in visual arts. Standing 30cm tall, the manikin is crafted from unvarnished, kiln-dried quality wood, providing a smooth surface and natural appearance that doesn't distract from the study of posture and line.

With fully movable joints, this manikin can be posed in a wide range of lifelike positions to help students understand balance, motion, and anatomical structure. Whether used in the classroom or individual study, it allows for hands-on interaction with human form representation, aiding in the development of observation skills and artistic technique.
