Virtual Pose 3: The Ultimate Visual Reference Series for Drawing the Human Figure

by Mario Henri Chakkour

The next best thing to working with a live model, Virtual Pose(r) 3 provides professional and student artists with an accurate and convenient method of viewing the human form--without needing access to a live model and studio sessions. Digital artist Mario Henri Chakkour has created a CD-ROM and companion book that features models in 70 high resolution poses, images which can be zoomed in on and rotated 360 degrees. Painters, sculptors, and other artists will welcome the opportunity to study at length each detail and subtlety of the human form, giving them a deeper understanding of shape, form, and gesture.

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.
