Basics Fashion Design: Fashion Drawing

John Hopkins

Basics Fashion Design: Fashion Drawing presents a fresh perspective on the basic principles and practices of contemporary drawing styles, applied to a fashion context.

The title takes a practical approach to describing the process of fashion drawing, offering advice on the selection of materials and media and their different uses and applications.

It also considers the theory and history of fashion drawing, and the range of styles used by contemporary designers; from quick sketches to sophisticated digital pieces. This discussion is accompanied by interviews with designers and illustrators, a glossary, resources directory and templates.
