Comic Artist's Essential Photo Reference: People and Poses

Perfect

Great book it’s really helpful!! I highly recommend!

Buddy's photo reference series is a favorite of comic artists for good reason. The models (two men, two women) aren't just posing; they're often captured in mid-motion--jumping, lifting, punching, etc. Buddy knows comics inside and out, so the angles, lighting and shadows were designed especially for comic artists. Few reference books offer as much bang for the buck.

I've been using this series for years. This is easily the best reference guide to poses you'll need for comic books and action-packed illustrations. This book features diverse poses, which helps you make authentic, original art. Don't copy out of other comics, buy this and do it the right way.

Indispensable reference for not so easy to find poses. Really thoughtful and through collection to mine from here. Great job, Buddy! Keep them coming!

Great book by Buddy! He really spends a lot of time helping artists through comic book school and making great books like this one.

Buddy is really great with his references and this would be a perfect tool for anatomy/perspective studies.

It has a good selection of poses if your just starting to study drawing anatomy and the models are cover enough for those uncomfortable with nudity (like me). I still have a long way to go in my art, but I've already made quite a bit of improvement.

This pose book is an essential piece to add to your artist reference collection. The poses vary from standing to fighting to the models battling each other. There are sections where the models pose with guns and swords. It has varying perspectives of the models from different angles in different poses. There are even close ups of hands holding weapons. The models themselves are great for anatomy, especially the males. Their muscles are very toned and clearly defined in every pose they take. Every pose is reminiscent of a pose you've seen in a comic book. The book arrived in perfect condition.

The book comes with a ton of great poses, feeling all really dynamic, even the static poses!And the book is brand new and so well taken care, came really fast as well, a whole day before expected.I love it!

One of the best books I've ever brought, thanks!

The photo variety is quite good and it's very useful. But the print quality is really horrible! it's so bad, it could be a bootleg copy. Like it's printed with a home printer on cheap paper. Because of that the pictures are very fuzzy and the dark areas are without detail.It's still useful to me, since i don't need the detail to draw the base poses, but I still can only give it 3 stars for that shitty quality.

Me agradó, pero creo que el conenido pudo haber explorado más ángulos en los modelos. Sigue siendo un excelente material de referencia.
