"The" book for learning basic fashion drawing My daughter is a fashion design student and her fashion drawing professor suggested she try to find a copy of this book, which is out of print, since she said it is the last word in drawing bodies for fashion design.
A must buy At first i didnt want to pay the price without getting a good look inside, but when i traveled to Europe the fashion school I went to had several copies and I ordered it at once. Definitely worth the money!! Has everything you need for fashion drawing. either for beginners or advanced artists.
Best illustration instruction book--EVER! I took an illustration class and we used a different book and felt that my illustrations were still horrible, even after the class. I saw this book was being used for the next illustration class and looked at my friend's book and decided to get it. Upon receiving this book, I started really sketching and I got a lot of compliments on my new sketches! This is a great instructional book!
simply the best you will get! i could honestly say i have a ton of books and as a fashion designer this is the best book out there.. it will teach you step by step and the best thing to do is to get colors for modern fashion. You have both of these you are set. I had Nancy R. as a teacher and shes the best! the money is worth it !! it will be your fashion bible! :)
Excellent tool for illustration I can't explain what a great help this book has been for my studies. It is very indepth and the steps to creating the croqui are excellent. I am a first year fashion design student with very limited skills in drawing and this book has helped me improve in my class by leaps and bounds in just a short span of time. A must for all Fashion Illustrators.
