It has some nice pictures, but they don't teach much about drawing. There is also nudity for no real reason. Some of the illustrations look more pin-up than fashion. I find most of the illustrations very short waisted. Rating: 3 / 5 I got this book and was not thrilled. It has some nice pictures, but they don’t teach much about drawing.

It also included differing styles of collars, sleeves, etc., which seemed particularly helpful for those in the field.

Nordgren Tue, 16 Feb 2010 04:51:11 +0000 http://www.uaegarments.net/offers/figure-drawing-for-fashion-design#comment-78 I bought this book because I *just* wanted templates. (I know that as a designer, my strong suit is not in fashion sketching like this, never has been- but sometimes you have to.) <br /> <br />What this book provides is more of a how to create the bodies you want based off of the 9-head model. For some, this is great- a classroom in the book. For me, who has been working in this field for a long time and I just needed to crank some bodies out without putting in (for me) an excruciating ammount of work, it fell short. <br /> <br />Also, the proportions of the bodies are a little strange and the hand placement a bit rough. I spent more time fiddling with more natural hand positions on the templates than actually drawing the garments on them. <br /> <br />It is a good book for those who can't attend an actual sketching course, but if you're looking for templates- good luck.
