Fashion Design Studio: Learn to Draw Figures, Fashion, Hairstyles & More

Great book, I love it. Thank you

This book has EVERYTHING you need to get very good at drawing croquis and fashion models. And, if you are thinking of going into a fashion design or illustration program at a school like F. I. T., or Parsons or Pratt Institute, then learning everything in this book will put you way ahead of the pack when you apply with a portfolio. I highly recommend this wonderful book.

Love every page into Fashion.

Got it for my niece. I hope she learns to draw and is able to explore her creativity with it. As someone with visual arts background, I felt it gave simple and clear strategies to learn to draw fashion. It's an attractive looking book too. The jury's still out; hope she's having fun with it.

It's wonderful to see Hart do a book for his fans on fashion design. While I already own a couple other books by different authors on this topic, it is always refreshing to see how Hart handles it. The instruction is superb and the things he includes are not only believable but things an artist in fashion design is going to use. Nothing foo foo found on a runway...this sticks to the simple yet chic instructions on how to draw fantastic designs. Anyone that is learning to draw the human body needs this book as well. They work well together...at least in my opinion.

Bought this for our 9 year old granddaughter, she loves it, learning to draw and sketch very well.

A great book to have on hand for reference from an expert illustrator. A must for fashion designers.

Christopher Hart is a genius when it comes to teaching art. Unfortunately, this book doesn't quite live up to the bar he's set with previous works. It teaches elementary figure drawing, along with faces, hair, hands, feet, and clothing. But his previous books did a much better job. This one skims over the basics, never quite giving enough information. The only element that sets this book apart is the fact that it touches on clothing and fabric, which his other books skipped. Its one redeeming quality is that it doesn't limit you to drawing stick-thin models. Some actually have curves! As for the clothing and hairstyles, much of it looks vague, lacking in detail. And the looks are seriously dated. The author's comic origins show through quite a bit, too. One model is wearing a cape with a triangular turtleneck collar, looking exactly like some alien superhero. I would not recommend this book if you're serious about learning fashion illustration. I know it's intended for girls who are learning to draw, but I wasted years of my life being unable to draw the way I wanted to, simply because I read books like this, instead of books that actually taught good drawing skills. I hate to be so critical, since Christopher Hart's other figure drawing books are so good. But this one just isn't. Recommended instead: * Figure It Out! (Christopher Hart Figure It Out!) Christopher Hart's essential book on figure drawing. * Human Anatomy Made Amazingly Easy Christopher Hart's other essential book on figure drawing. It focuses more on anatomy, so you learn which ankle bone is higher, how to shape collarbones, and so forth. Very useful if you want your drawings to look realistic. * Contemporary Fashion Illustration Techniques The text is translated, so it doesn't always make sense, but the illustrations are self-explanatory. * Fashion Illustration for Designers A high-end textbook for designers who want to learn fashion drawing, very in-depth. * Character Costume Figure Drawing: Step-by-Step Drawing Methods for Theatre Costume Designers Intended for theater costumers who need to design and draw their own costumes. Especially good for learning to draw dancers.

Nice shapes to help with fashion illustration.

Me ha gustado mucho, porque se ofrecen diferentes modelos de ropa y de accesorios de vestir. Algunos son muy elegantes.

This book, at an excellent price, was absolutely spot on. My granddaughter loves fashion, and drawing. This book demonstrates the whole procedure. The drawings and styles are easy to follow ans as I draw and paint myself, will copy some of the designs. The ideas and colourful figures are brilliant.

Love this book for the great instructions on different aspects of fashion drawing. Different poses , fabrics, hair and faces to practice, which you can combine into your own drawing skills as you improve

Very useful
