Poses for Artists Volume 1 - Dynamic and Sitting Poses: An essential reference for figure drawing and the human form (Inspiring Art and Artists)

Getting back into drawing figures and particularly interested in transitioning from art class figure drawing to manga, I was looking for a figure reference book that was a good medium. This book is not too stylistic like manga reference book nor too traditional. It’s a perfect balance of realistic figure drawing in dynamic poses that can be used for manga. This book also contains a lot of drawings in myriad poses. I will be looking for his other books.

Has so many ideas and poses for drawing. Very much recommend. Only complaint would be seeing a few of the same pose throughout the book and multiple books through the series.

Love this book, but was disappointed to yet again see a bunch of female poses where they are pigeon-toed and acting "cutesy". Male poses can be used for the purpose of females, but I just wanted females doing real poses instead of sexist ones. Not all of them are like this, there are terrific poses and this book is something that will aid any artist in sketching the human body. I do highly recommend it.

Before I got this book, I had bought some drawing book at Michael's Arts and Crafts that was the anti-thesis of this book, "Posing for Artists". This one doesn't have any nonsense writing, no intricate layouts or anything like that. It's just white pages with a few figure drawings on each page. Some are poses that I might not have thought of on my own and some are just great to have for practicing in a sketchbook late at night. I actually bought it as a gift for my boyfriend and he's also a big fan.

For those looking to be original yet needing some visual guidance. Just what I was looking for to expand artistically.

I got a lot of ideas + inspiration from this wonderful book. If you like drawing anime or manga, get it.

I bought this book, picked out the poses that I like and moved forward with my project. Great utility value.

Having bought several of this series let me first say that they are a good resource for beginners. There's a lot you can learn once you have some basic understanding of construction mechanics. The big downside is that there are many, many, many poses and pictures that show up in multiple books. There are some poses that appear in every book. It's a little lazy and cheap to sell each book with the exact same image(s) in them.

I love this book! If you are an artist and want to practice anatomy or making portraits in general, go for this. It has a LOT of poses and references which is so helpful to drawing. Improved my drawing skills by leaps and bounds after using this to practice daily. I recommend referring this rather than the generic reference photos you find on google images or any other website.

This series of books is probably one of the most epic on the market… literally covers every pose and the poses look great and are pencilled in ways which helps to really understand the flow of the body and proportions in different positions, takes time but it’s absolutely brilliant

Nach einigen mittelmäßigen Rezensionen habe ich nicht viel erwartet, wurde aber positiv überrascht. Wer Erklärungen sucht, ist hier falsch! Aber man kann mit diesen einfach zu verstehenen Modellen recht gute Studies zu Posen machen, da die Muskeln grob mit eingezeichnet wurden. Ideal für alle, die immer keine Ahnung haben, was sie für eine Pose zeichnen wollen. Außerdem nehme ich das Buch gerne als Referenz für richtige Zeichnungen oder um mich zu richtigen Zeichnungen inspirieren zu lassen.

人体の骨格・筋肉を含めて、どういう構造で構成されて いる事を知れば、短時間で人物を描ける様になる。 数多く描く事も重要だが、理を知る事により説得力の ある人物が描ける。動物の作品も同様に頭部から 足先までの全身像を掲載されている。 多くの作品があり参考になる。

Awesome book with a huge amount of poses that are divided between action, flight, sitting and a few casual. They are greatly done, with a lot of reference lines. Nice book to have by side
