Virtual Pose Duo: The Ultimate Visual Reference Series for Drawing the Human Figure [Hardcover]

Mario Henri Chakkour (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 22, 2006

The fifth book in the "Virtual Pose" series is the only book of its kind to feature two models posed in contemporary and classical themes. Professional artists and students alike will enjoy this book because the PC/MAC compatible CD-ROM makes studying the figure easy and convenient. Each of the 35 full-figured poses can be rotated 360 degrees for a total 1,260 views. Each full-colour view can be zoomed in on for detailed shots. This is great for painters, sculptors and other artists looking to master the human figure - an artistic tradition that is still alive today. Model combinations vary to include all options: male/female, male/male, and female/female.

This review is from: Virtual Pose Duo: The Ultimate Visual Reference Series for Drawing the Human Figure (Hardcover)

I've purchased the Virtual Pose 3 product awhile ago, and while that product is also excellent for figure artists when they don't have access to a live model, Virtual Pose Duo is even better. Virtual Pose (the CD) allows the user to rotate the model's pose 360 degrees, zoom in/out, and when zoomed in, you have the ability to move around the photo. So if you're zoomed in on the face for example, you can move all the way down to the feet with ease. The image quality is fantastic. And for the price, I don't believe you can do any better. Hiring a model can get expensive. When you're unable to afford a live model, or would like live model "access" at hours when a model is not accessible, this is the product you need. It's also a great supplement to life drawing class.

Virtual Pose Duo, the latest in the Virtual Pose series, takes the next logical step: offering two figures posed together. With couples in every combination (male/female, male/male, female/female), in color photos that can be enlarged with ease and rotated 360 degrees to offer views from every conceivable angle, AND print capability for those artists like me who can't sit and draw from a computer screen for very long without going blind, this new book pushes the envelope in the Virtual Pose series. It's definitely the best one yet.

I have previously purchased a couple of the 'Virtual Pose' series and this is a wonderful addition. I found the system easy to use and as a person who likes to do life drawing and figurative painting but without ready access to a model, it is invaluable.
