Fashion Drawing, Second edition: Illustration Techniques for Fashion Designers

I like the book. The seller sent a perfect condition’s book. I like it! It’s used but in a good shape. Everything is good!

Having pored over this (weighty) tome many times in the name of aiding my own fashion-centered cartooning, I can safely say that this is by far the definitive book for fashion designers and illustrators alike!We start off with a detailed summary of several decades' worth of fashion and the illustration styles that sprang forth from ever-changing sensibilities. From there, Bryant takes us through several chapters' worth of illustrated guides that are thorough enough to keep the absolute beginner on track, but not so strict that you can't interpret them in your own way (in fact, personal expression is encouraged throughout the book).In addition to the subjective matters of style, design, and colour, there are also sections dealing with various technical aspects of the craft. These are extremely useful, whether you are actually venturing into fashion design, or simply looking to increase your illustrative skillset.As expected from a book concerning the ins and outs of fashion design and illustration, there are numerous sketches, concepts, collages, and illustrations from a great many artists throughout. There is no shortage of inspiration and assignments to keep you stimulated, whether you are stuck for ideas, or simply looking for a fresh perspective on a certain subject. This is by far the best investment you can make in your practise, whatever direction you take!

I bought this for my teenage daughter who has a keen interest in fashion. It's a well written and thorough book ideal for a student who takes fashion seriously.

I teach art classes. So many art based books are a few useful pages and the rest a waste of trees to fill the book out. This is one of the most useful books in my entire collection. Wide variety of examples, and samples. Wish more books were like this.

Recommend for the beginner or a fashion illustration enthusiast.
