Description

Fashion design begins in the designer’s creative mind, and drawing is the a very powerful next step to communicating creative ideas to others to bring those ideas to reality. Clear, expressive drawings engage and bring together people in patternmaking, production, marketing, and all other facets of the fashion business, ensuring that everyone shares the same vision that originates with the designer.

Kathryn Hagen brings decades of experience teaching design students how best to translate their ideas into drawings. She opens with basic drawing skills the usage of both hand tools and computer techniques before moving on to applying those skills to both the human figure and the specifics of more than a few types of clothing. All the way through the book she exposes designers to myriad techniques and styles, encouraging Every individual to discover what works best for her or him.

Every chapter ends with practice exercises in addition to visual references to review and improve material learned in the chapter lessons. Videos demonstrating hands-on examples can also be viewed online, with emphasis on distressed fabrics and novelty treatments. 84 pages of color present all kinds of rendering techniques.
