In The Art Model's Handbook I think Andrew, an experienced life and photography model, really captured a lot of topics essential to both models, artists, art teachers and everyone involved in figurative art.Models play such a crucial part of any figurative artist’s work and with no real training out there, this book is definitely long overdue. Available from Amazon
Best of luck, Andrew!
The cover is a painting I have done of the author, Andrew Cahner in 2004

Antoine, Thanks for sharing the information about Andrew's book. There is very little information on how to gain experience in this field.
All The Best, Michael
Having been both a model and a figurative artist for many years, my reaction to this book was the exact opposite: this is no more than a basic overview of a topic that could have benefited from thorough research and professional writing. The personal observations of a single individual and a few contacts would make for a good hand-out at a college; it does not meet the standards for a book. Got it from Amazon, went through it in an hour; fortunately they allow returns.
