### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting poses but would like to see more models
*by S***S on January 15, 2008*

I happen to like the fact these are in black and white, since the simplicity of it makes you familiar with the form. I already have The Nude Figure for my other references for life drawing. As another person said, this is not the best book to get reference for illustrative foreshortening. This book is more to train your eye to capture various parts of the form in foreshortening. I thought it was interesting how the author noted that it was difficult these days to find models because of people's need to do body alternations like piercings and tattoos. While I find the models average, I would have liked to seen a few different models like overweight or even more athletic to get variations of the form in perspective. I wouldn't even mind old people, but I'm not sure if the elderly could perform in some of those poses. Most of the poses are in seated or lying down positions, I remember the author saying also that a lot of poses even in perspective started looking the same. I got some use out of the book, for the photography was clear enough for me. I also like using it as an exercise to recognize the form, like certain muscle and bone groups would look like in certain perspectives. I think too many people want to copy and not understand the true value of learning and utilizing reference. It's not an AMAZING book, but it's still useful.
