Almost every professional comic artist uses photo reference. Finding really good photo reference is crucial to capturing accurate lighting, foreshortening and body language in your drawings. Sure, you can surf the 'net or flip through catalogs to find a few poses . . . or consult generic photo reference books with static poses and flat lighting. But to draw a character consistently and convincingly over an entire issue or series, you need a serious reference library.
You're holding in your hands over 1,100 awesome-quality, color photos?500+ in the book and 600+ on the CD-ROM?all created specifically for you, the professional or aspiring comic artist.
Inside you'll find:
- Handsome, muscular men and gorgeous, fit women in dynamic poses
