Product Description

Product Description

The primary skill needed by anyone who works in fashion is the ability to convey to clients and the general public alike images of the designs. The impression given to the viewer depends on whether the fashion design drawings are well developed. Contemporary Fashion Illustration Techniques thoroughly describes the basics of fashion illustration, and covers the latest trends such as vivid images, sprightly movement, and garment material texture. After all, fashion drawing is not simply about sketching a body and face; only when you accurately reproduce the garments and their colours can the designs truly come to life.

About the Author

Naoki Watanabe is a veteran of fashion design drawing who has taught for twenty years at Kuwazawa Design School, one of Japan s foremost fashion institutions.

For any beginner at fashion design or just wanting to familiarise themselves with illustration techniques, this is an excellent stepping stone you'll refer to time and time again. It covers the basic techniques from correct proportion all the way through to technical garment drawing - and beautifully illustrated.

Why pay over £100 to enrol at a summer course to teach you to draw when you can purchase this book and do it yourself at home. Worth every penny especially during these times when costs for education are getting higher.

Format:Paperback
It has good tips to handle illustration. Talks about body proportions, drawing heads and the rest of the parts of the body. It helps drawing poses and of course coloring. The book includes computer tips and technical drawing.
