Product Description
The primary skill needed by anyone who works in fashion is the ability to convey—to clients and the general public alike—images of the designs. The impression given to the viewer depends on whether the fashion design drawings are good. Contemporary Fashion Illustration Techniques thoroughly describes the basics of fashion illustration, and covers the latest trends such as vivid images, sprightly movement, and garment material texture. After all, fashion drawing is not simply about sketching a body and face; only when you accurately reproduce the garments and their colors can the designs truly come to life.

Just purchased this book for the holidays and I must say I am in love with it. Not only are the croquis right on target with fashion illustration, but everything else within the book is as well. If you’re wanting to be inspired or want a different technique this is the book for you. The illustrations look effortless and are absolutely beautiful. I recommend this book for anyone that enjoys drawing fashion illustrations. This is a keeper.

I have been looking all over the place for a fashion drawing book that shows and teaches the drawing style coming out of the fashion schools in the here and now. There are books out there that show abstract rendering techniques, bland color palette, that isn’t what they are cranking out of the top fashion schools because that isn’t what real clothing companies are demanding to see. I have found some that are but they are expensive compendiums for real fashion students and designers.
For outsiders looking into this world, you want to start out with something light and simple but covers everything one needs to know including digital techniques. The price here is very very good. I offer a copy to the mature students(junior high school and up) because many younger kids are uncomfortable with looking at the nude female form even if they are only drawings, but its only a handful of pages. I was hesitant to buy but I saw this at my local art store. I bought it there for $25 w/tax. I should have waited and bought it off of here for the cheeper price but then I would have had to wait for over a week to get my hands on it and offer it to my students. But I didn’t want to wait. Too much good stuff in here. :)
