I've been wanting to add to this section for ages. Finally had some time to do it. These will be aimed mostly at things I've found that would be useful for Paper Modelers first and foremost. But ultimately great for anyone wanting to learn more about figure drawing. If you are wanting to build a good foundation for figure drawing & posing with a dynamic feel of tension or motion and not always wanting to refer to some static photos or poses for reference. Then a good place to start is : I think the covers speak for themselves. As this is exactly what you are getting in each book. Start off with Dynamic Anatomy & Dynamic Figure books as they go hand in hand. Then pick up Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery for learning how to make clothes that fit the figure and fold realistically. The other 3 are just icing on the cake. If you want more Head references or Hand references or want to work more with light and dark then pick these up as well. I had originally purchased these while in Art School and had toyed with the idea of doing Comic Book work. But I found these to be such a good grounding in the classical figure style as well. I am so glad I bought these as they are an invaluable reference for creating a believable and dynamic human mass in space. And are an endless source of inspiration. The Burne Hogarth Wiki entry~Floyd

Nice one, Floyd. I have the Burne's Dynamic Anatomy somewhere around the house. He is a master of the human figure. I did not know about the Wrinkles and Drapery or the light and shade book. I might have to look those up some time. Cool.

I've got one of those (and I don't remember which one, and it's not easily available), and I've been interested in getting others. Some day, when I'm making more money...
