5.0 out of 5 stars
wild stuff,
This review is from: Pose File 8: Above & Below (Pose File, Vol 8) (Hardcover)
The theme for this volume is "above and below." The result is a series of fantastic poses shot with mostly with wide angle lenses. An old professor of mine encouraged us to exaggerate the form as necessary to compel a composition. This volume demonstrates how distortion and exaggeration work on a page - these are views that the eye is not able to create on its own. I highly recommend this volume for serious artists or illustrators who already have a good sense of basic proportion and form and are looking to extend their knowledge of the human figure.

A MUST have for any artists reference resource collection!,
By Connie (Chicago IL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pose File 8: Above & Below (Pose File, Vol 8) (Hardcover)
When I first got this book back in 96' I wasn't really sure what I was ordering. But once I got it, I was astounded by how great the pictures were, it's one of my valued resources! There are few books out there that cover as many everyday poses from different angels with different types of lighting... A Definate must have, you won't regret the investment!

Extremely excellent, multi-angled- pose file 8...,
By "extreme_dig_cm" (Chicago, Il USA, Amazon.com Fan!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pose File 8: Above & Below (Pose File, Vol 8) (Hardcover)
...one of my favorites in the series, right along with pose files 6 and even 5...This is tied with Pose File 6 for being my absolute favorite in the series. This is a great photo-reference series that unfortunately has a hard time staying in print. If you can find any copies, I mainly recommend these 3 volumes I mention, but Pose File 8: Above & Below may actually be the best one. Certainly it has some of the best and most creative poses and angles in the series, and production value is top-notch; the only drawback here is that all models are female, if that's even *actually* a drawback. It's Pose File 6 that includes some decent male reference. Pose File 5 isn't as great as either of these in regards to overall production quality, but it has a *great* section on close-ups of hands to make it unique. In any case, these asian female models are beautiful and great to draw from. This is a *tremendous* help in figure drawing(!). But along with high production value comes high cost, and these things weren't the most inexpensive books to begin with, let alone *now* that they're hard to find and out of print. These paperback volumes are 8-1/4" x 11-5/8", and are all at around 160 pages last time I checked. It's *highly recommended*- if you can find a decent price!
