Art Models 10: Photos for Figure Drawing, Painting, and Sculpting

Art Models Series #10

by Douglas Johnson

The best way to improve in figure art is to practice, which requires quality reference material that inspires you. That’s what the Art Models series is all about. With 100 high-resolution, full-page photos of nude art models—both female and male—Art Models 10 will inspire students and professionals alike to practice and create finished works of art (which may be sold royalty free). For students, we provide a brief instructional exercise at the beginning of the book, written by author and art teacher Butch Krieger, that will have you improving right away using pose photos. The 100 distinct poses within the book were selected by a team of experienced art instructors to ensure they are genuinely useful for both students and professionals, with sections on hands, feet, and faces that give close-up views of these notoriously tricky areas. Art Models 10 also separates the disk and book, making possible a dramatic reduction to the cover price, even while increasing the number of pages. Become a better artist with Art Models 10—novices can practice and experts can perfect.

About the author

Douglas is the principle photographer for Live Model Books and the Art Models series of books and disks for figure artists.
When he launched the Art Models series, he envisioned his in-the-round photography being used by sculptors who need to see all around the figure. Over time, more and different types of artists requested other subjects, like the figure in action and chiaroscuro lighting. As a result, Douglas' photography is now in books, disks, downloads, e-books, and websites used by thousands of artists around the world who all share a passion for figure art.
