High Quality Photos of the Human Figure: A Resource for Artists

Live Model Books provides artists and illustrators with high-quality, full-color photos of the human figure in a 360-degree rotation. These resources, which include books, disks, and downloads, allow for easy access to a variety of poses suitable for artistic practice. The Art Models project aims to enhance understanding of the human form through detailed reference material that can be studied closely. The images are created using professional lighting, studio settings, and camera techniques that replicate the experience of observing live models. The materials are offered in various formats to ensure affordability and convenience for artists, regardless of their preferred working methods. The human figure presents a complex subject due to its interplay of light, shadow, color, and texture. Additionally, societal taboos regarding nude art models complicate the learning process. The project seeks to address this issue, encouraging the creation of more figurative art.

Art Models 10: A Comprehensive Guide for Figure Drawing, Painting, and Sculpting"Art Models 10" by Maureen and Douglas Johnson offers nearly 200 high-resolution photos of nude male and female models, intended to inspire both students and professionals. The book includes a brief instructional exercise by art teacher Butch Krieger, aimed at enhancing skills through practical application of pose photos.

The collection features 106 distinct poses organized into three chapters: Full Body Poses, Faces, and Hands and Feet, with close-up views provided for challenging areas. A bonus gift from the publisher includes an additional 360° pose with a sequence of 25 images showcasing the same pose from different angles.

This resource serves as a valuable tool for artists seeking to improve their figurative art skills.
