Virtual Pose 2 is the second installment in what is fast becoming the ultimate visual reference series for drawing the human figure. Whether you are a professional artist or a student, this set is the next best thing to working with a live model—and the ultimate for amateur artists who have no access to studio sessions.

The book comes with an interactive CD-Rom with 54 full-figure poses which the artist can rotate 360 degrees. You can zoom in on the pose, presenting the human form in a way that allows a deeper understanding of shape, form and gesture. Ranging from action to classic poses, standing and reclining, these carefully selected subjects were designed to offer visually pleasing as well as challenging drawing subjects.

You'll have your choice of male and femaile models to draw from, plus music for inspiration and four drawing tutorial movies, making Virtual Pose 2 an invaluable tool for your reference library.
