This book was created by an artist who understands that sometimes, you just need a creative nudge to help get the pencil moving and break that pesky block. By simplifying the human form, we hope to remove the inevitable anxiety that comes with drawing a person, and speed-up your art, over time, increasing your own understanding of human anatomy, proportions and movement.

This is the volume with the major amount of interactive poses, wich is great and has a mixture of standing, action and sitting poses. However, there are a few of repeating poses from vol 1 and 2, but nothing to worry about. The tip that I could give someone is, if you can afford for the 3 books, nice, buy them or if you can just buy one, buy this ’cause of the mixture inside.

After I quite liked the first volume, I‘m rather disappointed by this third volume, mainly for two reasons:
1. In my Kindle edition a number of pages showed no pictures at all, just empty frames.
2. A number of poses are just recycled from the first volume. I‘m sorry, but I think that is not acceptable.
The poses/drawing themselves are fine of course, but still…

I LOVE this, I’m really thinking on buying the other books! This really helped me on my anatomy! I used to use stiff poses for my characters, but now I can use more movement in my drawings!

I was looking for something to help me draw detailed techniques, as my tired little sketches are just getting sloppier. However, this book — titled with “Fighting” poses — lacked any semblance of an organized collection. 25% of the book was advertisement for his others books (with several blank “box” pages with the same text, just to let you know that you wasted your money very early). The same poses were given over and over, often with just a weapon tossed, and a third of the work had unrelated poses. All together, you come away from your purchase with a small assortment of unrealistic flashy poses, the kind of stuff you might find in a comic book. — Can someone point me to a decent sport illustration text, with boxing, wrestling, judo and such?

Now this is something that I have been looking for, for a very long time! As a (hobbyist) artist, it was always a struggle to find a good pose or a model that could make said pose for me to draw. But in these two books that I purchased, I get a very wide set of poses that trigger inspiration, as well as the joy to draw more! I only bought 2, but I will make certain to purchase them all when I get the chance! Thank you!

The poses were really helpful, and exactly what I needed! However, I had a little trouble with the pictures. They weren’t loading completely and that was a little frustrating. But over all, it was pretty good!
