Fashion Details: 1,000 Ideas from Neckline to Waistline, Pockets to Pleats
From the first rough sketch pursuing the development of an idea into fabric choice and draping style, fashion design is an exercise in imagination and problem solving. When it comes to documenting the evolution of fashion as culture, we could safely say that illustration has become fashion design’s number one ambassador, covering a visual timeline of materials, techniques and styles that have graced the fashion world over the past century. This book features more than 250 illustrations. Practical exercises will guide you through creative activities focused on contemporary fashion illustration. The exercises include suggestions and tips, and are executed by practicing contemporary illustrators. Instruction provided will allow designers to improve their drawing skills and communicate their vision effectively through a range of illustration mediums that incorporate color as a contributing element for both style and texture. With this special attention to color and how it is perceived the illustrations highlight how subtle nuances or striking changes can occur when rendered using different techniques in gouache, watercolor, pencil, pastels or digital, and how these materials can transform the feel and mood of each illustration.

I saw this on Amazon a long time ago, when it was still a pre-order item, and was intrigued (especially since it was one of those books that doesn’t have sample pages to look at!!). I was excited when I came across it at a bookstore a couple weeks back, but it was wrapped in plastic so I couldn’t check it out. I decided to order it on Amazon, figuring I could always return it if I didn’t like, since Amazon’s great about returns. This book is great. It goes through sections by medium (pencil, watercolor, pastels, marker, digital/mixed media, I believe in that order) and has a illustrations in each section with step-by-step instructions for how they were made. There are larger images showing major steps of the process (like the initial sketch, basic coloring, more detailed coloring, completed image) taking up most of the pages, and smaller photos of the artists working on their illustrations line the bottom. I haven’t had time to sit and illustrate anything with the book as reference yet, but I’m looking forward to it!
