Book Reviews of Fashion Artist: Drawing Techniques to Portfolio Presentation (Fashion Design Series)
Book Review: Excellent book especially for fashion students!
Summary: 5 Stars
The fashion drawing techniques and illustrations in this book are excellent, plus it gets you up to speed quickly by focusing on key points. It is well laid out and can be followed step by step or dipped into wherever you feel you need some help with particular aspects of your fashion drawing or designing. The illustration styles are varied and inspiring - it covers fashion templates, flats and presentations for womenswear, menswear, childrenswear and even costume design!
The chapters on figure drawing techniques have some excellent advice and examples of poses, and those tricky things like faces, hands and feet. The chapters on layouts, presentions, mood & design boards, and getting a design portfolio together concentrate on the main points with examples of artwork from designers and illustrators in the fashion industry.
It is an excellent resource for those studying fashion or want to enter the fashion industry.
Book Review: GREAT For Beginners and Those Who Have Experience
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm wanting to become a fashion designer and i bought this book and i was amazed. it really teaches you how to draw fashion models (and people in general) in all different poses. it shows you so many different poses both with an actual person modeling the pose and then a block figure showing you how to draw it. after the structure is learned, it teaches you in a really easy way how to flesh it out, and then how to draw the clothes and how the clothes are supposed to look at folds and creases. if you like this book, i recommend Draw Fashion Models! by Lee Hammond, a great book that goes in depth into more poses and how you should draw the clothes and how they look when the arms are raised, when you're leaning on one hip, etc.
i really recommend buying this amazing book, it's straightforward and very helpful!
Book Review: Very helpful, well written, and easy to use.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my 16 yr old daughter who is an aspiring fashion designer. To get into design school & possibly qualify for a scholarship, she must prepare a portfolio. She expressed concern that her sketching skills would look amateurish so she asked for a book to help her.
This book shows in picture and text detail the supplies needed to do a project & an easy format to follow. She loved it and was so excited to have a guide to help her. This book not only helps in this regard, but has several sections that gives pointers on design elements and much more pertinent information.
If you or someone you know is an aspiring fashion designer, do not hesitate to get this book. It will be a valuable tool that will be put t good use.
Book Review: Title....Absolutely love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love it!...It is full of cool, colorful fashion illustrations. It makes drawing the fashion figure so simple! I really like the details that go into each page in the book...it is easy to follow the step-by step drawing techniques or just be inspired to go for it by looking at all the other artists' work included in the book.
There is a great section on drawing flats, and although it focuses on women's wear, has excellent chapters on men, children, costume design and the Fashion Portfolio - these are really useful as they are not often covered in other books that I've seen.
Book Review: Great book
Summary: 5 Stars
I was doing a sewing course and I ordered this book to start learning how to sketch my ideas for skirt and blouse designs. Easy to follow illustrations and no frills instructions make me rate this book very highly. I am a beginner with no design experience and very little aptitude for drawing. However I was able to use this book and started sketching basic designs in no time.
