Fashion Illustrator (Portfolio) - Softcover

A comprehensive, visually-led overview that covers all areas of fashion drawing, presentation and illustration, Fashion Illustrator 2 both teaches students how to draw the fashion figure and provides an extended showcase of established and emerging illustrators. From initial inspiration though to finished illustration, the book teaches the student how to draw from life and accurately depict body proportions, but also includes advice on exaggerating proportions for effect. A technical chapter outlines the use of different media, showing students how to use colour, and features techniques for rendering different materials and patterns. Dedicated tutorials explore both digital and traditional media (Illustrator, Photoshop, photo-montage, mixed media, drawing, ink, embroidery) though the work of leading fashion illustrators, giving the student the confidence to experiment with different illustrative styles. This second edition has 32 extra pages and will contain 212 new images.
