Product Description
Product Description
This comprehensive reference provides hands-on techniques for created posed figures for fashion illustration. The first section illustrates various examples of nude and semi-nude poses (male and female). Later chapters illustrate the same poses wearing sportswear, sleepwear, dresses, suits, trousers and casual wear. The poses in each chapter are organised to show a progression including seated model (crossed legs, straight legs, seated on chair, seated on the floor); standing model (frontal view, three-quarter view, side-view from the back with crossed legs and straight legs); and moving model (running, walking, dancing). Each chapter begins with an introduction which is followed by images with detailed explanatory captions. With a focus on shape and form, the content covers marker and pencil techniques for a complete range of illustrated poses.

When I saw this book in a store, I just had to have it. The drawings are simple and clear, and the book has a very nice layout. There are four outfits drawn for each fashion pose. This book is perfect for the fashion Design student or anyone who wants to learn to draw fashion. The drawings are so nice that it actually helps me overcome paper fright. I just want to start drawing!

Many Beautiful Illustrations
21 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
This book has 100's of figures in different poses and different outfits. There are so many poses to choose from, you won't run out of choices. This looks like to be the work of three different artists each with his or her own unique style. The book is divided into different sections based on the pose: standing up, movements, and sitting down and each page has a croquis and next to it the draped figure. What I like most about the illustrations is their simplicity and ease of style, yet the garments have enough detail to make them interesting but nothing is contrived. There isn't much text for reading so if you want a book that's mainly a visual read, this is a good one.

The Best Illustrations are on the Cover
13 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was very disappointed with the quality of illustration in this book. Each page had 3 of the same figure; just detailed in different ways. I am certainly not a professional illustrator, but I have seen better illustration work from the freshman class at Mass. College of Art in Boston. Very loose drawings here and many ugly faces. I returned it as it was not what it appeared to be. The best illustrations in this book were on the Cover.
