This book will please girls seeking to understand
what makes for feminine fashion, from the colors to the styles and accessories
that proclaim femininity. Starting with line drawings that morph into the final
product in a four-step process, novices will come to 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 feminine wardrobe and be able to
experiment with using their own colors and patterns on their own finished product and
contrast that with the clothing presented by the author. This is
a perfect book for aspiring illustrators, fashion
designers and art students.
Buyers of this title should be aware
that it
is a reprise of one chapter of Capstone’s Fashion Drawing Studio, which contains
additional chapters on other fashion styles. The other chapters in the larger book are the basis for the remaining titles in
the Drawing Fun Fashions series. Drawing
Fun Fashions looks at six fashion styles. It provides tips on
drawing the human form wearing the fashions. The core concepts of the
elements
needed to create a particular kind of fashion, and the use of brushes,
markers, and crayon, are covered in
these excellent books. They are strongly recommended for all library collections, whether for browsing
or for information on fashion trends and the art of creating fashion. They are 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
girly-girl
fashion, tips on coloring drawings, and the way that line drawings morph into a finished product.
