Review of a figure drawing posable mannequin

This figure reminds me of certain life drawing models who think their buff bods are worthy of putting charcoal, pencil, ink, or paint to paper or canvas for posterity. Really, they’re not at all interesting to draw, stick-like when standing. Give me a model with meat, fat, or all of the above plus old age. Using a mannequin like this doesn’t require seeing, only looking. There’s a difference. This mannequin turns drawing into a formulaic exercise. People love formulas untrue as they are in nature.
