I bought an acrylic paint set today, and he was in there. Am I supposed to use him as a model? That's the best guess I had.

yepyep, it's for modelling alright, when no real life models are available, they work a treat.
the sections of the wooden mannekin also provides proportion, so it's double whammy :)

they are called "artist's manniquins," and are available in in numerous sizes at maximum artwork and craft furnish shops. do no longer ignore that the smalle the manniquin, the less movable, posable joints it ought to have. as an party, the smaller ones ought to have a unmarried piece torso, the position in person-friendly words the limbs and head should be posed. even if the human body isn't made with a rigid, unmarried piece torso. The toso bends and twists. So a more advantageous lifelike and versitile manniquin may have a minimum of one set of joints which will enable some circulate of the body. And, for sure, the better and larger complicated the manniquin, the more advantageous the cost.

Yes, it's supposed to be a human model. Hopefully the mannequin is posable. I have a friend who has a couple of these and they help her draw/paint the human form in normal positions.

Yes, he is to use as a model. You can pose him in any position to help you when painting or drawing the human body.
