There are flexible skeletons out there, but they're very expensive -- http://www.colonialmedical.com/product.php?productid=17098 -- the budget 'Mr Thrifty' isn't well reviewed. http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Thrifty-Skeleton-Spinal-Nerves/dp/B000PM1D0O I'm sure artists and teachers would love to have something they could use for drawing.

I really wish we (or someone) could come up with a human manikin that allowed all the extreme poses possible with a real person, even at the expense of trying to mimic surface anatomy. Just something to help with the big relationships, foreshortening, etc., not to mention allowing you to explore poses (I mean find the right one) before drawing. The various digital solutions don't cut it for me. I like a real 3d object to draw from.Chris Beatricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02801244582928889372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153455437639412986.post-91995385607374842332011-10-31T15:02:35.938-07:002011-10-31T15:02:35.938-07:00You're totally right!

You could even hang on to the lovely spine for drawing and studying and just swap out a nice flexible piece of pipe cleaner or something. <br />It made me think of the articulated Bambi model from the Illusion of Life -- https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/pheJ6emesKO2D9kLtM6lHnhI-rcnzbH1QViozrRVJhY?feat=directlink<br /><br />I built my own skeleton exactly as you instructed and I'm so pleased with it!

I've often thought of doing that ...Taranimator,<br />I've often thought of doing that myself, though it is challenging. Honestly I think the right solution is to have something with a flexible wire for the spine, because really there is little value in preserving the bone structure there (unlike, say, the skull, long bones of the limbs, etc.). It's very true that without a flexible spine it's impossible to do the vast majority of naturalistic poses, but that's I think where the usefulness of the plastic skeleton breaks off and the manikin begins. Bridgman has some simple instructions for making a manikin that is somewhere between the two, basically a wire spine with a block for the chest and a block for the pelvis, because the twisting and folding relationship between these two somewhat solid masses is critical to most figure drawings.<br /><br />-ChrisChris Beatricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02801244582928889372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153455437639412986.post-91677772289790030142011-10-21T16:34:02.153-07:002011-10-21T16:34:02.153-07:00Hi!

Where did you get yours?<br />Also, I'm very interested in making the spine flexible -- I figured I'd have to chop it in a few places, putting putty in between the breaks and maybe adding a wire or something to keep it all together.Taranimatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362694183193768966noreply@blogger.com
