The Complete Book of Poses for Artists is a fantastic resource for artists of all skill levels. Packed with helpful photographs, hundreds of techniques and expert instruction, it provides a useful guide to drawing the human form. This book combines photographs and illustrations that demonstrate how to accurately render the human form in hundreds of realistic poses using a variety of drawing media, including graphite pencil, charcoal, and pastel. The book guides artists through the process of drawing the human figure as it pertains to anatomy, proportions, volume, mass, gesture, movement, and expression. From there, the book reveals how these characteristics come together using light, shape, line, and form to accurately depict the human figure in a variety of everyday poses, including standing, sitting, reclining, and action. Each section features colour photographs of people in several "core" poses (e.g., sitting, reclining, and action), as well as multiple variations of those poses. S
