Book Reviews of Fashion Artist: Drawing Techniques to Portfolio Presentation (Fashion Design Series)
Book Review: Not current in drawing style.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book a while back based on the stars and reviews but was actually really disappointed. Why? If you go to art schools that push fashion design as a major that work with actual major clothing labels... the drawings you see being cranked out of the top schools do not look like this. I actually recommend Contemporary Fashion Illustration Techniques by Naoki Watanabe. I had a chance to actually look at it at the art store down the street from my art school which is cranking out fashion designers for the actual job market.
I teach drawing to students between 3rd grade on up to high school. I have been buying books to expose my students to the various art industries and what they are looking for now so they can get themselves a head start if they so choose such careers later in their lives. This book was perfect and great when if first came out, but things have changed.
Book Review: It's ok
Summary: 2 Stars
This book didn't seem to help me much. Except how I should present my drawings. Yes, it is a ok book. But, Fashion sketchbook is hands down much better than this book.
