Great book to teach from and easy to show examples. Techniques are good and illustrations are great sources of inspiration.

If you want a resource to help with illustrating your fashion fantasies that reflects your own design aesthetic, then this book is for you. This is a thorough, but concise treatment of fashion illustration and design. It will show you basic strategies for putting together a journal that will document and communicate your design ideas.

i was told specifically to buy this as a gift for a friend when i asked what they wanted for their birth day
based on what they told me it fit their needs while in fashion school. they now make high end wedding dresses
and no they are not on amazon and i doubt if many could afford these without a 3rd mortgage

Love this book. I use it for fashion design in my high school Art classroom. I cut the spine off and put it in a binder. Helps with drawing fabrics and bodies in real and distorted proportions.

Libro dedicato all’insegnamento delle tecniche di disegno dei figurini di moda. Le info sono veramente molto molto base: dedicate unicamente ai principianti tipo: come tenere in mano una matita o il kit per iniziare. La qualità dei figurini e’ abbastanza scarsa. Un po’ più interessante la sezione dedicata ai tessuti e a come realizzarli (dal punto di vista del disegno).
Se non volete spender molto e volete dilettarvi nel disegno dei figurini questo kindle puo’ essere un inizio ma se volete qualcosa di più serio andrei direttamente su altri libri come Figure Drawing for Fashion Design di Elisabetta Drudi ed il fantastico Fashion Drawing di Bryant.
Per 2,99 euro paghi quello che compri. Nulla di che.

I liked it for the most part I guess. Could have shown more detail about the drawing but it was ok.

Creative Fashion Drawing is well written and easy to understand. It covers a wide range of topics from equipment and materials, anatomy, sketchbooks, to drawing garments, outfits and accessories. It also has a fashion illustration gallery at the end to show examples of different styles. This book has everything for the beginner or student. As a person with skills in life drawing, I found it perfect for me. I wanted to learn to draw fashion illustration and Creative Fashion Drawing was a wonderful guide.
