Walter Foster Fashion Design Lookbook Book

My niece absolutely loves this book. She is an aspiring fashion designer and this book has so many great things for her to check out - patterns and shapes and colors. It's a great book.

This fun book has tons of great ideas for learning how to illustrate fashion. It has many excellent tips on how to make your fashion drawings look their best, including suggestions for facial expressions, accessories and hairstyles. There are also many different styles represented, including sporty, classic and retro, as well as seasonal looks. I really like how there is an appropriate pose shown for each of the looks.The drawings show all the steps to complete the figures and start with the basic shapes of the figure and proceed to filling out the details. I have tried out some different drawing materials per their suggestions including watercolor and fine line markers. Right now, I’m focusing on getting shoes to look right and the information and drawings are very helpful.

Not for someone just starting out.This is geared to persons who already know how to sketch the model first.I looked inside the book and saw basic sketches and assumed this was a how to - it is not e.g "Begin by sketching the basic shape of the figure with the help of proportion lines" - what proportion lines??How? and 'starting with simple shapes sketch the outline of the haute couture model. Use poses that models usually make on the catwalk" Huh??? This really is a "LOOK"book. I have to begin my search again! This is not helping me at this time.
