Virtual Pose 2: The Ultimate Visual Reference Series for Drawing the Human Figure

by Mario Henri Chakkour, Missy Loewe (Photographer), Gregory Scott Wills (Contributor)

Virtual Pose 2 is the second installment in what is fast becoming the ultimate visual reference series for drawing the human figure. For professional and student artists, this series is the next best thing to working with a live model--and the ultimate for amateur artists who have no access to studio sessions. Each volume includes an interactive CD-ROM with 54 full-figure poses which the artist can rotate 360 degrees. The artist is also able to zoom in on the pose, thus presenting the human form in a way that allows a deeper understanding of shape, form and gesture. Ranging from action to classic poses, standing and reclining, these carefully selected subjects were designed to offer visually pleasing as well as challenging drawing subjects. Furthermore, there is the choice of male and female models to draw from, music for inspiration, and four drawing tutorial movies, making Virtual Pose 2 an invaluable tool for every artist's reference. * Features more models in a significantly higher number of poses (54 poses, 1,944 views in all)

Not a reference I'll use, but an interesting quick read.

Seriously, for it's time, this wasn't bad, but modern references like Adorkastock and are where it's at now.

Not so much a book to read, but a brilliant source for nude model drawing. Comes with a CD that allows you to adjust the angles, so you can draw more than what the book shows.

Great for 360 reference of the human form. Not the choice if you are looking for anatomy. Good for gestures.
