I love it! This book has been the answer to all my fashion drawing dilemmas. It explains techniques of fashion drawing and fashion design in really simple, basic steps that everyone can understand even if they have never picked up a pencil!
It shows you how to draw female and male poses, and even has a section on children and costume design! Faces, hands and feet were my nightmare and, using simple exercises and sketches, this book has made it all so easy.
It has excellent illustrations and fashion drawings, clothing/flats, fashion figures and templates. And the presentation chapter and portfolio chapters are really helpful. Every page is an inspiration! Buy this book now and, like me, I am sure you will never regret it!

If you are studying fashion or want to be a fashion designer you have to be able to draw reasonably well and meet fashion industry standards. This book makes drawing fashion figures, faces, hands, feet and clothing all so straightforward and simple. And the chapters on creating presentations and your design portfolio are also really important if you are serious about entering the fashion industry!
Every page is full of images - drawing techniques, drawing exercises, fashion illustrations and fashion designs. It has explanatory text, but not too much, just the right amount so that you can get on with the creative side of fashion drawing and illustration.
It really is a fabulous book.......a must have!

What a great book!! It got me sketching fashion figures so
quickly...even the faces and hands!!! It took the mystery out of fashion
illustration, and has made me feel full of confidence to develop my
drawing skills further. I want to be a menswear designer and it has a
great section on sketching men as well. And I found the section on
getting my portfolio together really helpful. Fantastic for fashion
students everywhere!

Fashion Artist has helped me sketch fashion illustrations really easily…it sets out simple techniques, and is especially useful for those of us who find drawing difficult. It has shown me how to draw the fashion figure, as well as the face and hands, really simply and develop a few poses which I can use and adapt for all my fashion projects. It even demonstrates drawing men and children and costume design...very useful.It includes lots of cool images/fashion designs/illustrations from various designers and illustrators which I find inspiring and has encouraged me to develop my own style of drawing. It has also helped me think about my portfolio and how to prepare it for the fashion industry.
I would recommend this book to all fashion students. It is really informative and inspiring.
