Lessons from top artists Greg Land, Sean Chen, Paul Chadwick, Billy Tucci, and more will be featured in “Comic Artist’s Photo Reference: People and Poses,” a 144-page pose file book and CD-ROM package featuring 1100 color photographs by Buddy Scalera from F+W’s IMPACT Books. Sexy women and powerful men are photographed in superheroic poses to help professional and aspiring artists draw accurate anatomy in their comic books, storyboards, videogames and more. Professional comic artists offer detailed step-by-step lessons of how to utilize photo reference for maximum visual impact. The 144-page softcover book and CD-ROM package retails for $24.95 in major bookstores (ISBN-13 978-1-58180-758-5), comic book stores (Diamond Number: MAR063677), Barnes & Nobles, Bud Plant Comic Art, and Amazon. The seven art demonstrations include Mitchell (Drax, Agent X) Breitweiser, Paul (Concrete, The Matrix Comic) Chadwick, Sean (Wolverine, Iron Man, X-Men) Chen, Matt (Firestorm, GI Spy) Haley, Greg (X-Men, Birds of Prey) Land, Fernando (Betty & Veronica, The Joe Kubert School) Ruiz and William (Shi, Daredevil) Tucci. “The art lessons are by established, respected professional artists,” explains author Scalera. “Everything is tailored to the unique needs of comic artists, so you’ll see a lot of extreme perspectives, angles, foreshortening, and shadows.” Review by Comics Worth Reading calls it "a lovely gift for an aspiring artist."
