Format:Paperback
As my review title says... FINALLY, I found a book that is packed not only with excellent info, lessons and examples of drawing, but also with pages, 350 of them, and each one is great! This book is the only one you will ever need to produce not only great illustrations, but flat drawings too. I wish this was the book we had gotten whilst studying fashion design, however, it was not, and until I purchased this one I actually thought I knew how to draw a figure and dress her in textured fabric. I was wrong... and the learning process continues. This book covers everything and its examples are detailed unlike most of the other books I have with quite messy and dull sketches. It really is worth more than the money :-)

I've been looking for a book like this for ages. Am only a person who simply enjoys drawing as a hobby.
However, I'm particularly interested in fashion drawing and this book covers absolutely everything. Amazing content for the price and beautiful just to look at if nothing else!!
Highly recommend this book. JUST BUY IT!!!!

An ok book, lots and lots of examples included, however, it's lots of plates of exactly the same figure and the same face. And unfortunately, that's all you'll be able to do after reading this book. Draw the same figure from imagination over and over again without ever developing your own style or flair.
For any aspiring fashion illustrator thinking about this book, get the fundamentals absolutely right from proper anatomy drawing books and life drawing classes. It helps to understand how the body actually works when drawing from imagination before you distort leg sizes and cheek bones for fashion.
Some absolutely super books on drawing the human form:
Figure Drawing for All it's Worth
and
Drawing the Head and Hands
Fashion books for inspiration:
100 Years of Fashion Illustration
and
Masters of Fashion Illustration
