3.0

This book is just what it promises, nothing more and nothing less. 130 illustrators, animators and comic-book artists represent the male and female form in the classic turn-around: front, side and 3/4 angles, and each artist brings his unique style on the subject. The book presents a small introduction but no other text is included. I can see this book as a great source for the beggining artist and inspiration to many others.

My problem is, I am obsessed with anatomy and I think an artist should be a master of the human figure before stylize it. Without an appropriate introduction and analysis of the correct human form, this book can derail an enthusiastic beginner and create some bad habits (as many depicted along the book, mainly in the inability of the artists to represent proper female breast and bellies).
