More About This Book

Overview

Supercharge your drawings with the power of photo reference!

Almost every professional comic artist uses photo reference. Finding really good photo reference is crucial to capturing accurate lighting, foreshortening and body language in your drawings. Sure, you can surf the 'net or flip through catalogs to find a few poses . . . or consult generic photo reference books with static poses and flat lighting. But to draw a character consistently and convincingly over an entire issue or series, you need a serious reference library.

In this book, you get over 1,100 awesome-quality, color photos—500+ in the book and 600+ on the CD-ROM—all created specifically for you, the professional or aspiring comic artist.

Inside you'll find:

  • Handsome, muscular men and gorgeous, fit women in dynamic poses
  • Extreme angles, foreshortening and complex body mechanics
  • Poses including jumping, kicking, punching, standing, ducking, lifting, flying, sitting, smoking, drinking, kissing, screaming, laughing, cowering, shooting, sword-fighting and more
  • Superior lighting that creates dramatic, muscle-revealing shadows
  • 7 fantastic art demos by professional comic artists
Unless you have a team of superheroes willing to pose for you, Comic Artist's Photo Reference: People and Poses will be the most important tool in your photo reference library. Get started today drawing the pictures that will launch or advance your comic book career!

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal
Adult/High School-This is a terrific book for all artists, not just those interested in comics. Professional artists demonstrate how to use photo references in drawing, what materials to use, and techniques needed to do studies and finish the work professionally. The photos show models in various action poses, alone and in pairs, with and without props, in capes and street clothes, and expressing several emotions. The only difference between this and a professional artist's photo reference book-and what makes it a perfect addition to a library or art classroom-is that the models are all clothed. The CD-ROM has the images from the book and can be used by groups working together.-Dana Cobern-Kullman, Luther Burbank Middle School, Burbank, CA Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
