Illustrator's Reference Manual: Children Hardcover – January 1, 1993

Over time, I've slowly collected this whole SERIES of books. Every model pose is shot from up to 24 angles--- a complete circle around the figure from a high angle, eye level, and low angle. If you're an illustrator or comic artist, this couldn't BE more helpful! Even if they don't have the exact pose you have it mind, they'll have something similar enough that you can probably work it out. I wish they'd made a few more of this series of books.

If you're an artist looking for a volume filled with photo references with kids but can't afford the rare and expensive Fairburn books, this is the book for you!

This book is filled with a lot of images, but I didn't give it five stars because of the definition of a lot of the images is difficult to make out. As an illustrator I don't just want body angles but need some definition in the lines. This would have been particularly helpful when it comes to the clothing. It seems like they tried to cram too much into one page. Larger images, and more spaced out, would have been better, or a CD of the images to help with the viewing.

The photos aren't really big enough to be that useful, it would've been nice to have these on a dvd, for enlargement purposes.
