In this video I try those weird japanese drawing models to become a better artist. Are they really worth it, let's see. I saw that a lot of famous Mangakas and Manga Artists are using them.

[@Aisuryuu]

Ooh, I’ve been pretty curious about these. Have never tried them. They definitely seem more useful for posing compared to the wooden doll version. The art you drew from using the figure as your foundation looked pretty cool! I like the way you draw shoes, and the colouring on the flowers looks nice! Saving a lot of time with the base seems helpful. Thanks for another cool video!

[@modauth]

Thank you 😊 I kinda like those figures, I could really see myself using them for more complicated poses. The pose I did in this video is not too hard to draw, so I’m not sure if it was that Helpful. But I will continue testing them 😊

[@kabanning7741]

Actually, I highly recommend the chan/kun sport models in the line if you can get them. They improve on these first gen models in about every way. The articulation and sturdiness is just so much better. The only thing is that they’re themed around sports. So the hand types are going to be geared towards that. But if you have other kun/chan models, the hands from the old ones are swapable.

[@ksmolsen]

These would have been interesting if they had the natural scapula/clavicle/shoulder mobility needed to create realistic dynamic poses.

[@modauth]

I feel like the pose-ability is quite good, the shoulder moves more than I would have expected. Of course no way near a real human but I think it is probably faster than searching for the right reference shot for hours or using 3d posable models. The only problem is the flimsiness, if the pose doesn't hold it's honestly super frustrating

[@asimian8500]

There's one art mannequin which has "natural" scapulas: Armature 9 Rider or Ranger with flexible clavicles. These are the best art mannequins. They are pricey (starting at $99 USD), but worth it. I have no affiliation with Armature. Just a satisfied customer. Here's the video of the flexible scapulas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2O4qJ59iNOhbJY Here's an intro to the product: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPOanp3jrSFm9k

@@asimian8500 That looks perfect. Thanks!

[@lostchld]

@@modauthhello why do you think it is better than 3D models ( like on clip studio paint )

[@MikeyDunksMusic]

​@lostchld Actual models are way easier to pose, and you can more easily move the camera around to find the ideal angle.

[@leax1337]

I had these so often recommended, but they are kinda expensive

[@modauth]

Mine weren’t that expensive 😅 that’s also why I guess they’re probably fake 😮

[@modauth]

But yeah, the real ones are pretty expensive but probably also a lot better, maybe not as flimsy

[@leax1337]

@@modauth yeah i saw different brands with some charging half of the price and i would really like to know which one is the best. But i still don't know if 50 or maybe 30$ is worth one figure that i might just use a few times, because of the digital world giving us free alternatives

[@modauth]

@@leax1337 yeeah, it's kinda sad that it's kinda impossible to know if it's original or counterfeit. Really annoying stuff

[@leax1337]

@@modauth i just bought one for 15€ from a discounter (online), lets see how they turn out when they arrive x)

[@reactvideosareoverrated]

I bought both the body-kun and body-chan. I have used only the female version so far. Mine is a bit stiff and I'm always afraid of breaking it. Changing the hands are a pain but I eventually got it. I would only recommend these to people who have their own style because otherwise it's hard to use and understand.

[@modauth]

Thanks for letting us know, I totally agree with you btw, having your own style or clue about figure drawing will make a huge difference

[@kurtbada8920]

How do you change the hand? Are there any special tricks to it?

[@reactvideosareoverrated]

@@kurtbada8920 No trick, just very careful to make sure the only part I'm moving is the hand itself.

[@creeper_minecraft922]

I bought the shf sport edition one this July and it's really good it has a lot of pose that you can do than the dx one which I also have, surprising the dx is still alive ( I've bought it in 2021) as long as your careful with it

[@user-in4kx7vd5y]

Yah this is awesome ngl ,the video and the figurines as well

[@modauth]

Thank you so much :) glad you like it

[@mirophew7164]

I just orderd my own body kun yesterday and I wanna make sure there great so this is why I'm watching this video hehe

[@oshit2874]

This channel is so underrated, it deserves at list million subs❤️🔥

[@modauth]

Too kind 🙏 thanks a lot

[@nincompoopknight]

What is the chart/table under the Bodykun that you have? I wanna buy one of those to draw on top f. I’m talking about the black chart thing.

[@DioWio812]

Bro called shf weird like if it was a bootleg💀

[@abxhe7697]

Hey need more mangaka live drawing reaction videos

[@xxnekonekox]

I have body kun and I have had him since maybe 2013? and he's still intact never broken, I used him for posing since I was a preteen and even now as an adult I still use him because its much easier getting him in the pose I want and then taking pictures of the perspective and using that as a reference than finding the same pose online. I'm thinking of getting the sports version since that one seems to have more poseability.

[@ITSMYAMYZPT]

these are for stop motion and i wanna make a fighting stop motion so im using this off of amazon and it looks perfect for stop motions.

[@Singhfullstack]

I would buy a figure from my favourite anime instead you could use it to draw and its pretty cool

[@modauth]

Sounds fair :)

[@suspensefulness]

i actually did that,

[@iloveiceteaaa-v-]

Am gonna get my next week!

[@mikehawk4388]

Always be careful where you buy these from--they are /notoriously/ bootlegged! I don't have these specific models, but I do own a few poseable anime figurines made from the same company a while back, & my big meaty gaijin hands always seem to snap at least one hand or twintail joint in half -_-. Never have the same issue with Figma, but have with the real old Nendoroids. Maybe your are bootlegs, but unless they made improved versions, it might just be SHFiguarts as a brand... Or the big meaty gaijin hands, lol

[@modauth]

Yeah, you’re totally right. What’s terrible about hose figures is: online you can’t find them ranged between 10$ and 120$ 😂 and you still don’t know which one is the real deal. Really unfortunate

[@anjanettemacalalad6484]

When I buy that I will just post it and play

[@Rb_Mans]

Can you take the figures apart and paint them?

[@Nehalennia7.]

I have also the baby! It is (in the begining) inportant to be careful! The arm feld of but later it was esay to put it back together! The head of the baby is a bit verry heavy,like a real baby is! I orered the male and the female but the delivery is much later ! You my have alittle pesiand with them,so that you know how to handle them! One advice if you want to replace the hands,hold the whole arm steady and don't pole to mutch a little bit rotation is better! It is passible to take the dol apart you can them later take togetter again ,don't use to mutch power do it careful and tender!

[@aristhrowaway4174]

Oh yeah body kun 😏

[@modauth]

Hehe 😁 have you tried them as well?

[@CawnYT]

Have you thought about using them to make figures? Like to make your own custom fugure!

[@jacoblopez5104]

I’m thinking of doing that

[@CawnYT]

@@jacoblopez5104 me too only I’m thinking of making the Twin Shobijin from Mothra

[@jacoblopez5104]

@@CawnYT nice I’m gonna do a maki from jjk

[@marcoevans2155]

Seems rather pointless when there are numerous free poseable mannequin apps online.

[@dionjennings2379]

What is the drawing tablet device you are using?

[@SketcyJ]

That looks like a 9th gen iPad if this hasn’t already been answered for you

[@14bqdonk]

nice

[@Leafythesoftie]

I just ordered them both off Amazon for a total of £38. (¥7,150+?)

[@videocardgamer]

Will it help people like me who are not confident in drawing anime style?

[@creeper_minecraft922]

Yes it will help a lot

[@IvanEslera]

It isn't missing any hands it's just not that many, try checking the other reviews on KZbin.

[@Frights_The_Cat]

I bought mine for 8 dollars (bootleg) but it's good

[@kamenkira9324]

I can't even trace properly

[@modauth]

Practice will always be key unfortunately, just keep on drawing

[@Philippinesphil]

Im that to😊😊

[@user-kx4jz1td8j]
