he Art Models Series and our websites were created to support those artists, craftspeople and hobbyists who celebrate the elegance and wonder of the human figure. We believe figurative art enriches our lives by helping us to understand ourselves and the world around us. As a means of communication art is timeless, expressing our civilizations not only for people today, but also far into the future. Through the Art Models Series we hope to help advance the creation and acceptance of figurative art by encouraging artists to practice and to produce meaningful work even when a live model is not available. As in Art Models 3, the poses for this book were chosen by our readers and website visitors from our entire collection. The top 56 sets appear in this book, showcasing a wide variety of interests and frequently requested features. •

Higher contrast lighting allows you to see how shadows move across the form as the figure is rotated through the light.

•

Carolyne, who was six and eight months pregnant when she posed, provides a frequently

requested glimpse into an important aspect of human life.

•

Other features include two models interacting,

dynamic poses, everyday poses and classical poses.

No other pose book we know of offers you all these choices, or gives readers the opportunity to participate in the content and design like the Art Model’s series does. Goals We want to show you, as well as we can in a book, what you would see if you were standing in the studio with the models. To do this we made some design choices: •

12

Make the photos as large as possible. This led to some layouts that are a little awkward, with overlap-

•

•

ping photos. However, it allowed for the largest possible views of the models. Include as little text as possible. Less text means more room for photos. We also include fewer blank pages, use smaller chapter headings and forego some other traditional book elements in order to fit more photos in a 128-page book. Fewer pages results in the book being in an affordable price range. Print the primary four views in the book. A book is usually more portable than carrying around a computer, so we wanted the book to be able to stand alone without the Companion Disk. That led us to include the four primary views—front, back, left and right—of each pose. For 3D work, all four views are essential. For 2D work, having four views lets you choose the angle that works best for your composition.

Another goal was making poses easy to find. We organized them from high to low, so the book starts with standing poses and progress to reclining poses at the end. We include large images in the visual table of contents for a better view at glance and the index acts as a quick reference by model name. If you have any comments or suggestions, we would like to hear from you. Send us an e-mail at [email protected]. — Maureen & Douglas 2009

Companion Disk While the book shows 4 photos for each pose, the disk has 24 photos for each pose, creating a full rotation. The Companion Disk also has material that simply did not fit in the book. For example, some poses are shown from alternate angles such as overhead looking down. There are over 1500 photos on the Companion Disk. Companion Disk Instructions There are no programs to install to use the disk, all the photos are provided in the very common and widely compatible JPEG format, ready for use with any photo viewing program. On most computers, you can simply double click to see a photo. The 24 views are numbered from 01-24, creating a continual rotation when viewed in order.

The Companion Disk symbol next to text in the book indicates the name of the pose on disk. To find a pose, just look for the folder with the matching name. Basic steps for viewing the photos 1. Put the Companion Disk in your disk drive. 2. Browse to the drive as you would any data disk. 3. Open the folder containing the pose you want to see. 4. Open any photo by double-clicking it. See readme.htm in the root folder for more information. If your book does not have the Companion Disk, you can find it at our web site www.livemodelbooks.com. See the back pages in this book for more information.

Books

Books On Disk

The art models series provides hundreds of poses with a wide variety of models, lighting, and styles. Each book has a different focus, for example Art Models 2 showcases classically inspired poses, the poses in Art Models 3 and Art Models 4 are the favorites as chosen by our customers and the first Art Models has a broad selection of poses printed in a smaller format.

Books On Disk (BOD) offer the complete print book in ebook format plus the entire Companion Disk all in one convenient and affordable package. All of the poses from the book are shown from 24 angles in high resolution, providing thousands of finely detailed photos. Zoom in on eyes & ears, fingers & toes and any area requiring a closer look. With the Book On Disk

Books On Disk

Zoom in for fine details. Find exactly the right angle. Print just the view you want. Project the photos for a class. View in High Definition, and much more.

In addition, the BOD shows some poses from different angles, such as overhead looking down. For their full-size high-resolution detail, 360-degree views, and low price, we recommend the Art Models Book On Disk as a must-have supplement (or cost effective alternative) to the print books.
