Since the og wooden mannequins are falling out of fashion.
Do you use toy figures to pose as reference?
Any figure recommendations?
Feel free to share your figures and your art

NO

>>7433479
Yes.

>>7433479
Depends. Is it something organic? Bad idea to use that since muscle groups don't move on toys. Is it armored? Probably safe.
>>
>>7433479
Depends the figure

You are supposed to use them as a reference, not to trace over them.
>>
>>7433569
You missed the point. Muscles turn and rotate in ways that a toy can't replicate. You're just as well off with an art mannequin. They're typically more posable.

I did when I was drawing. Which was a few years ago

>>7433479
as long as you can make up for what the figure can't tell you (the muscles enveloping and shifting over one another, surface deformations...), sure
i think it's good to pick out one that has a fair amount of flexibility, but any one of them should do with the previous statement in mind

Lol?

Most of those collectors toys are meant to stay stuck in just one or two poses. If you've got one that's more posable, that's great. In fact, for beginners, the toys are great, since it helps with sketch to outline practice to see if the techniques you're using still make a good result in the end. I just wouldn't use them as a workhorse tool.

>>7433479
the 30 minutes fantasy bodies are decent for this
>>
do you use the actual toys or just screenshots of them?
