Modern Art Reference Classics!,
This fantastic series of books continues!
The models (both male and female) strike elegant poses in the classical tradition. The model choices reflect diverse ages, ethnicity, and somatypes. Models are posed on a revolving platform, and the the interactive CD allows the user to position the model in the precise the angle desired. The user may also close in or push back to any desired vantage point.
Clearly a labor of love, the Art Models books proudly continue in modern spirit the pioneering work of photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Artists devoted to drawing the human form will find this invaluable and inspiring series of books (and particularly the companion CDs) modern “must-have “photo reference classics!

|Outstanding reference work for art students and art departments,
Several years ago, when I was teaching at the college level, my office was near the studios used by the art department. They occasionally hired nude models to pose for one of the classes and you always knew it when they put signs on the door. At one time I was approached (most likely in jest) about the possibility of being a model, so I learned that they paid over $10/hour for the models. I also knew some art majors and they made it clear that the opportunity to draw just one male and one female nude was not nearly enough practice. Furthermore, they often felt that they did not have enough time to complete their drawings while the model was in studio. One day I had a conversation with a member of the art department about this and she told me that the department simply could not afford to pay for any more model time.
This book would easily solve all of those problems; the authors have created a collection of photos of a wide variety of male and female models in many different poses. Nearly all are nude, but the book is only a small portion of the package. There is a companion CD containing the same images, but the big advantage to the CD is that each pose is presented in multiple images, each from a different angle. Using the Windows image viewer, you can zoom in or out and click to rotate the images. With 24 images per pose, this means that each change rotates the model 360/24 = 15 degrees.
Success in art, like in nearly every other human endeavor is based on practice, practice and more practice. With this book and all of the images available on the CD, any art student will never be without a model. The images are of superb quality, so good that you can even determine how recently the female models shaved their body hair. It is also an excellent book for art departments. In the era of tight budgets and the clear need for more variety in the subjects, using it can create the necessary variety without severely damaging the department budget.

|Best model reference – hands down,
Drawing the figure well takes time, patience, and models. The weak link in the chain is access to life models. Even when you have access it’s usually in a group, thus the group has to agree on a pose, then you can/cannot get the view you want or need. That said, there’s nothing like drawing from a live model. BUT the cd-rom enclosed in this book comes darn close. I pop it in my blu-ray and draw from the flat screen. The difference is there are no distractions in the background and the model on the cd incrementally gives a different angle with each jpg. Wonderful. The light doesn’t change either. Can’t wait till they come out with more books and yes, I’ve more than one. My only critiscism is the lighting is a bit flat. I’d like more darks.
This series’ competitor is “Virtual Pose”. For me the “Art Models” series wins hands down. In “Virtual Pose” the photos are opened using Quicktime or a media player. Be advised you can’t (or I can’t) play it on the blu-ray. I suppose “Virtual” is fine if you draw from the computer screen. For me I like the versatility of jpegs. With “Art Model” i can draw from the computer, flat screen TV or print it out. If you’re looking for a great reference buy this series. (In all fairness with “Virtual” you can rotate the model with a pointer instead of paging to a different jpeg. Still like having the jpegs.)
