it's 2021 and i just saw someone on YT recommend art mannequins as a reference tool and i have to say: don't waste your money on this fucking thing. just use photo references
the internet has a plethora of FREE resources to use for pose references. https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock  is one example and there are literally THOUSANDS of poses available for FREE

those wooden art mannequins are garbage they don't have the correct range of motion and don't show you actual anatomy, like where muscles are placed and how they're flexed in a pose
also another advantage of using photo references is that you can get practice with just about any kind of body types, and senshistock which i linked has a wide variety of models with different height and weight
This is also something I didnt mention but also very important to consider!! Make use of all the resources available to you online! https://twitter.com/kimchisouup/status/1345367556572536832?s=19
