MY FAVORITE ARTIST'S MODEL BOOK

I have to admit that a reference book about artist's models is a strange subject to post about on the Saturday before Easter. I hope the airbrushed nudity doesn't offend anyone. I'm so excited about finding this rare and useful book in the library that I feel I have to share it so that I can free my mind to think about other things. Click to enlarge.














I'll let you know what the title is as soon as I can locate a copy to buy on the net.

Cool! Don't forget to post the drawings you've done or will do from it. Would be cool to see a before and after.

Thanks that you post these great photos! I'll copy the poses to learn that my characters looks better, I love the chicks!

There are many copies of this title available--but not for under 25 bucks, that I'm aware of(if you need more info, email me).
I just looked it up in my library sytem(Glendale/Pasadena)and all the copies are either resevred for reference only or "missing"--so it's indeed rare. Don't you hate it when art books get stolen?

It's a terrific book and the beautiful poses are as appropriate today as any day. The women certainly have a lot of natural grace and elan.

Yeah, I wish they made more books like those. I can see where it can come in handy on poses and motion.

arschblog: Thanks for standing up for me. I made a joke of Eddie posting "Easter Chicks?". Some anonymous person didn't like the joke.

I commented on what anonymous said. I found it more fitting not to say anything. So, I commented on the book instead.

Jenny: Gasp! How did you figure that out!!!????

Jenny Lerew said...

Eddie: Hee--I feel like I just pulled a rabbit out of a hat. ; )

I hope you've found one you'd like to buy?

I'm offended they airbrushed the nudity.

Eddie, Jenny will one of you spill?

Andreas said...

Yeah, I agree with Nate. Eddie, have you found a copy of the book so that we can know the name and try and hunt down a copy of our own.
