Fantastic fashion drawing and design book July 6, 2005
57 out of 58 found this review helpful
This book has been really helpful and I will continue to use it throughout my fashion design course. It has shown me how to draw the fashion figure, and even faces and hands, really simply. I like the way it shows you how to draw different fashion figures, draw the clothing and then make fashion presentations from your artwork. Plus it has lots of cool examples of fashion drawings by different designers and illustrators. I would recommend this book to everyone who is interested in fashion design. It is really informative and inspiring!
Great book! March 24, 2007

I bought this book for my 12 year old daughter who is just getting into fashion. It is a great book for beginners -- she started creating beautiful outfits from the very start. It looks like so much fun I might give it a try myself!
Title....Absolutely love it! January 29, 2007

I absolutely love it!...It is full of cool, colorful fashion illustrations. It makes drawing the fashion figure so simple! I really like the details that go into each page in the book...it is easy to follow the step-by step drawing techniques or just be inspired to go for it by looking at all the other artists' work included in the book.
There is a great section on drawing flats, and although it focuses on women's wear, has excellent chapters on men, children, costume design and the Fashion Portfolio - these are really useful as they are not often covered in other books that I've seen.
Amazing Bang for the Buck July 5, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
For years, I've sketched fashion/outfits, automobiles, and architecture simply as a hobby. Because of schedule conflicts, proper classes to develop skills have never been possible. Naturally, I began looking for a "text book" that would help me to improve my proportion and shading skills as I've had the most difficulty with "human subjects".
After numerous purchases of everything from how-to books to actual text books, I can confidently say that Fashion Artist by Sandra Burke is exactly what I needed it to be. With clear examples, step by step instructions and lists of required materials, this book takes what can seem to be an overwhelming situation (figuring out proper limb placement and size plus contouring) and breaks it down into engaging, easy to retain information.
As someone who appreciates all styles of illustration, I also enjoyed the variety of artwork used to showcase the amazing potential offered to a budding artist.
Some of the "problem areas" that this book covers are hands and feet, facial features, and fabric rendering.
Whether you're a fashion illustrator looking for a refresher, an artist wanting to expand, or simply someone who enjoys all things fashion, this book fits the bill. I highly recommend this book.
Good, clean book December 5, 2007

This ended up being a great book for our teenaged friend who wants to be a designer. It was one of very few that didn't dwell on drawing nude figures...a plus when you're giving it to kids :)
