Figure Drawings for Fashion Designers

The foundation of fashion illustration is drawing figures with correct proportions. Even detailed and flawlessly drawn clothing designs cannot reflect the true image without being draped and displayed on a correctly proportioned figure. Even talented fashion designers can struggle to identify the appropriate figure and execute the drawing correctly. This book, containing numerous figures drawn with correct proportions and suitable for various garments and styles, shows design students how to perfectly draw, drape, and render the figure. Students can copy suitable pre-made figures from this book, select from a collection of garment patterns and design details, and dress the figures to create professionally rendered, original fashion figures. All figures and clothing designs in the book are included on the CD provided with this book.
