NUDE: The Job of Figure Drawing

Images and book description are from Dark Horse:

In the world of contemporary pinup art, few artists can capture the sexy essence of a gorgeous woman as well and as wonderfully as Jim Silke. Silke’s best-selling art books include Bettie Page, Queen of Hearts and Pin-Up: The Illegitimate Art. This time, the pinup master strips his subjects of dress and other distractions to better reveal the delicious details that are usually hidden from admiring eyes. Silke adorns his intoxicating imagery with sage insight and cunning wit, as he recounts his long and exceedingly happy career flirting with fine art and foxy women.

  • His best-selling books include Bettie Page, Queen of Hearts and Bettie Page Rules.
  • Jim Silke’s Bettie Page: Queen of Hearts is one of Dark Horse’s perennial best-selling art books, currently in its fifth printing.
  • Includes two sexy centerfold inserts!

Pretty cool looking figure drawing book..

Think it might be applicable to a glamour photographer like myself, or is it strictly for painters and the like?

For instance, I just reviewed a book on the 1980's painter Patrick Nagel at https://www.glamourphotography.co/?p=3782,... and I think maybe he inspired the photoshop smooth skin look of today's glamour photos.
