Not just another drawing book!5
When I bought this I was worried that I would be stuck with another "how-to" manual for fashion illustration. I just received my copy and wow! I'm so pleased with the quality of the illustrations and the variety of styles presented within- I can't wait to get drawing!

This was exactly what I was looking for, a source for stylistic inspiration to bring into my own drawing skills.

Rosanna and Cathy4
This was a really useful source book of current fashion illustrators. Both the layout and quality were very good.

good book on contemporary illustration4
This book consists of fashion illustrations of many contemporary artists. There are no tutorials in the book but finished drawings. They are prepared in many different mediums and with use of computer programs as well. For me they are great source of inspiration. I recommend the book.
