Michele Wesen BryantFashion Drawing, Second Edition: Illustration Techniques for Fashion Designers (Perfect book for Fashion Students)

I wanted to learn the basics of fashion drawing in a hurry and ordered 5 books. This was at least double the price of the others and the only one I am keeping. It is a very comprehensive book that includes history of fashion and fashion drawing as well as techniques with beautiful illustrations. Mostly it has given me the confidence just to draw my own style. A lovely reference book to have.

This book has a great blend of basic "how to" information and fantastic inspiration. Of all of the fashion illustration books I own, this one is by far the best. There are step by step instructions, assignment suggestions, and large illustrations to work from. While they explain the differences between various head to body ratios, I believe most of the examples are 9 head high figures. I prefer 10 head high figures but it hasn't been difficult applying their info to a differently proportioned figure. Tracing paper is recommended for many of the activities, so that can be a good idea to purchase when you buy this book.

This is an absolutely lovely book! It explains fashion, has templates, teaches drawings and proportions, etc.To me, it is one of the most complete books I've encountered. My hat is off to those who worked hard creating it! Ta Da!

This book has helped me tremendously!

I have been trying to draw fashion illustrations for months from YouTube with no understanding and videos were too fast. However, after receiving this excellent book that shows there is no wrong way to draw fashion illustrations, I was blown away and unafraid to draw, and this book is so detailed to drawing all genders, kids, and adults, and clothes. Also techniques are covered even for digital. I highly recommend this book for those struggling trying to find information to piece together, or just for anyone who wants to learn to draw illustrations for all mediums, you won't regret it!

i love this book! if you want to learn anything about designing clothes, whether it's for fashion or not, i would highly recommend this book. as soon as i opened it up i was immediately ecstatic to see how well done this is. i think if you are looking for some good inspiration and great instruction on designing this is the book for you. money well spent :)

It arrived with a bit of a tear on the front cover; though I'm not confident enough to say whether this occurred in transit or before it was packaged. Either way, the book was perfect otherwise and the small knick is nothing truly worth fussing over!
