nudes
Live models are often unavailable or
unaffordable; this is particularly true ot
nude models. Illustrators and artists must,
therefore, look elsewhere for suitable ref-
erence. But unfortunately, most pictorial
representations are very limited in pose,
position and angle.

The Concise Illustrator's Reference

Manual: Nudes solves this problem with
over 100 photographs of male and female
nudes in an extensive range of poses and
positions. Grouped into standing, sitting
and reclining positions, the poses vary
from glamorous pin-ups to classical
stances, based on masterpieces of art.

For professional illustrators, amateur

artistsand anyone who needs an instant
reference, The Concise Illustrator's
Reference Manual: Nudes is an indis-
pensable aid to drawing and painting
nudes.

This manual comprises 109 poses Waist-level

categorized under 1 1 general camera angle k
headings. Each category has an
index code and within each
category, each pose has a further /
sub-index code ease of
for

categories: standing, sitting, kneeling
and reclining. The final category
consists of couples in standing,
sitting and reclining poses.

Each pose is presented from eight

angles.The images are as large as
the pose will conveniently allow. A
consistent scale is maintained within
the camera angles on each pose,
but the scale may change from one
pose to another.
Each pose is presented from eight angles,
achieved by using a waist-level camera and
a turntable rotated through 360 degrees
