Fashion Design Workshop: Stylish step-by-step projects and drawing tips for up-and-coming designers (Walter Foster Studio) Kindle Edition

This book is AWESOME! But there is only one eye on the models. But otherwise great book. Really helps you with drawing. :-) I'm 8 years old and Idrew this with the help of this book.

Bought this as a present for my 6 year old niece who is into drawing fashion. I thought it may be too advanced for her, but it had good reviews and thought I'd try it. I went through the book when I got it and I think it's event too advanced for me. You never know what a kid is capable of and how they will use there imagination with it so I'm still going to give it too her. I think it would be a great book for a teen who has better fine motor skills for drawing and is into designing clothes for women.

My daughter loves this book and it has really taught her about drawing the human figure. We are religious home school family and so always eyes open for negative body image stuff especially overtly sexuality’s. Outside of the example drawings all showing very thin women, it doesn’t pose body issues that concern us. And we cover the topic of thin vs heavy anyway bc our culture already forces us to.

the book goes into small detail on how to draw a figure. it show pictures of eyes and brows, lips, hands, faces and profiles, but it does not go deep into how to draw them. it tells you to start your figures with stick drawing and from there you add the other details of the human body. not easy if you're someone who cannot draw a shaply leg, arm, hand or head. the book is nice, but it what it saids it is, tips.

This is more like a text book, but very easy to follow. My 9 year old daughter LOVES it. She's just starting to dabble in fashion sketches, and what's great about this book is that it breaks it down step-by-step. It's not just a collection of blank bodies to color (there are no stencils, stickers, etc.). It actually teaches you HOW to draw the bodies and faces, emphasizing proportion and scale. It has lots of vibrant examples to use for inspiration, but it's really about teaching you the concepts of design sketches. Highly recommended! Great quality.

8-year-old LOVES it. I was worried that it would be a skill-level that was would be too high and, therefore, discouraging, but she has really stepped up to the expectations. I got it with a pad of tracing paper and she is tracing the designs and even starting to combine parts of different designs and making her own creative works. Yesterday, she made a family portrait by assembling different garments pictured in the book. I looked awesome. Long, thin legs and great hair. Love this book!

I have a Degree in Fashion Design, and the one class I didn't get to take was fashion illustration. (They were cutting the program and I had to miss that class to get others in that were more important, sad.) I thought that this book was excellent. It really helped me to understand coloring and shading my sketches. I would suggest this book to anyone who loves to draw fashion sketches.

All of the people illustrated in the book are missing one eye and an eyebrow and a nose. It gives me a creepy feeling to look at them, personally.

We surprised our 9-year old daughter with this fashion design guide book. She had several similar books before and loves them, considering that she reckons her future occupation will be in fashion design. And I must admit her drawing and designs are getting progressively impressive. This book goes a little further than just playful craft. It's actually quite professional aimed at those with a serious interest in fashion design.Other than just models and dresses that can be coloured-in this book serves as an introduction to the fundamentals of fashion figure drawing. Out daughter particularly appreciated that the book also learned her to draw sketches of the human body. But there are overview of a large amount garment styles and variants.Through a stepwise approach a broad selection of styles is presented. Shoes, hats, and other fashion accessories are addressed as well. There is a fashion glossary in the back. And chapter 6 provides a series of fashion figure templates that can be copied for the young reader’s own designs.Very good almost semi-professional book, much better and of a higher level than expected.

I bought this for my neice who although is only 10 years old she is mature for her age and already very interested in fashion designing. I saw this and thought it might be a good option for a presen,t along with My Style Studio: Design and Trace Your Own Fashions by Klutz. It arrived quickly and when I opened it I was thrilled, it exceeded my expectations. It contains everything a budding fashion designer could wish for. Wonderful illustrations, ideas, comments, patterns and full of modern outfits, not dated at all. My neice loves it and she can't wait to show me her new projects each time I see her. It has been the perfect gift for her and actually I am a little envious as I would quite like to have one of my own.I would recommend this product.

Bought this book for a friends daughter and thought it was great so decided to get it for my own daughter.The book itself I think is really informative and she loves it as she just opened it today for her birthday, but as I was flicking through it I was a little bit annoyed to find someone had drawn over some of the faces! Not something you want to find in someone’s birthday gift!

My niece will love this book given her aspiration to be a fashion designer. Really well thought through content and pictures.

This arrived and looked great. However, this item was put in my daughters stocking and since opening it she has discovered that it’s used. Many of the characters and dresses have been coloured in already - she was upset. I have made a complaint and will see what they do - unbelievable. This product was bought as new and not clearly marked as used in any way.
