The artistic drawing, object of this article, this time is not the digital one to be done online with the help of web applications that transform the mouse into a brush to draw on the screen freehand but the drawing done with the pencil on a sheet of paper by real professionals, painters and designers. Far from being an expert in pictorial art, however, I wanted to report a website where you can see 3D models of the human body in different positions, suitable for those who want to practice drawing human figures with a pencil on a sheet.
Probably this website can be interesting even for those who do not draw to see the human body from every angle with a very pleasant visual effect.
The figures look the same as VisibleBody and the 3D human anatomy sites on the internet complete with explanations and interactivity.
Posemaniacs instead is not an interactive web application but a collection of Flash files where a part of the human being or the whole figure appears, and you can turn it over as you wish.
The stated goal of the site is to give designers support so that they can have a model to copy .
The figures that can be seen are of all types, with 3D models that take moving positions: running man, sitting, standing, walking, jumping, dancing, staggering, desperate, in a position of reflection or meditation and so on.
In the Tools section there are several other ways to view details such as hands, feet or to browse randomly chosen shapes.
Each part of the body that is seen in detail takes different poses.
I think it can be a very useful resource for those who paint and draw so that they can copy the model and have a visual reference, without having to buy a mannequin or pay a model or a real model to make her pose immobile.
