(Grades 4-10) Paperback E-BN Nonfiction
This book will please girls seeking to understand
the differences among various fashion styles, from the colors of the clothing to the
poses that make the fashion style believable. The fashion styles discussed include rock
star, Hollywood, skater, Harajuku, all-American girl, and girly girl. In a
four-step process, initial human body line drawings morph
into the final product, and this will help novices understand how body poses are created and how
brushes, pens and other drawing materials can accentuate fashion drawings. Artists will learn
the specific concepts used to pull together a particular wardrobe and how to experiment with
their own colors and patterns on their own finished products. This is a perfect book
for aspiring illustrators (especially of graphic novels), fashion designers, and art students. Buyers of this title
should be aware that it is reprised in Capstone’s Fun Fashions You Can Sketch, which presents each
chapter as a separate book. The
series books add a chapter about accessories for each fashion style. Excellent
ideas and factual knowledge are
presented that are necessary for fashion illustrators,
book illustrators, and art students interested in the
human body form.
The book is strongly recommended for all library collections, whether for browsing
or for information on fashion trends and the art of creating fashion. It is perfect for
fashionistas or art students.
Summary: For future fashion designers, art students, or those who wish to
illustrate books, this book provides contemplative tips on the components of various
fashion styles, coloring drawings, and making line drawings morph into a finished product.
