Figure Drawing Resource 6 - Posemaniacs
I found the link to Posemaniacs on Kathy Johnsons blog, The Quicksilver Workaholic. It is an absolutely fantastic resource. You can jump right into using the poses or use Google translate to figure out what the japanese text is about.
I have a copy of Virtual Poses that I have yet to use. Since I spend long hours on the net/computer I am likely to use this resource more often.
A few quick links on the site
A variety of poses which you can rotate 360deg on both axis.
Short poses and gesture drawings - 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90sec poses
Negative spaces
and
Google Translate
Update: September 13, 2007: I've just received a comment from the site owner for Pose maniacs
Today I added English instruction to 30 seconds drawing and random pose viewer pages.

I've used posemaniacs extensively since I stumbled upon your blog. I use it in conjunction with Nicolaides book 'The Natural Way to Draw'. Thanks so much for sharing your find!
what an interesting idea! I still stand a chance of tackling some of those exercises before year end then. Going through the book was a part of my art resolutions. I'm glad you found it useful. These comments spur me to look for more to put up here :D Hope you continue to stop by.
