This is just a very cheap Artists doll I got from Ikea years ago, I never really use it to draw from ( which I should) but of course I just had to draw a face on it when I got it, just couldn’t bare to leave it blank.
While I did a search to see what these things are called, as I couldn’t remember if they were called wooden art doll or artist dolls , I came across this doll for manga artists. I`ll post a video below.
They are quite expensive but so well made and moves more like a human than these wooden ones.
Check out this video below by I-Wei-Huang on YouTube if anyone is interested.

I’ve heard it’s called drawing doll I used to use it during my high school days.
The video is awesome doll turns from wooden to 3D lately they say.
Though, IKEA one gives rise to a sense of affinity, nostalgia!

Yes, I suppose the wooden one is an iconic art doll .. the 3D one is amazing though, not that its something I would get myself, but for someone who likes to draw manga characters or lots of other action characters, its very useful

3D one is interesting and as you say it’s useful for cartoonist or figure-maker. It’s still expensive but soon will be reasonable I guess. The wooden one is very classic and in high demand still. I’d like to give a doll pose or making some closes 😉
