Product Description

From quick sketches to polished portfolio pieces, this essential collection leads the fashion student through every stage of the design process. Two hundred classic and modern templates of men, women, teens, and children show figures from every imaginable angle (full-length, three-quarter, back, and front-on), so would-be designers can showcase each stunning garment with the correct pose. Draw right over the templates using semi-transparent layout paper, a light box, or computer scanning. For more adventurous students, this will serve as a guide to create their own properly proportioned figures freehand and elongate the hands, feet, and legs for elegant curves that draw the eye to every unique style feature.

Customer Reviews

Served the purpose4
I was looking for a book that had fashion croquis and poses. I like most of the poses in this book, but it's not on a "high fashion" level. It's great for a entry level illustrations.

Ok.3
This book is ok. I agree with the other reviewer that it is best for entry level drawing. The croquis are decent minus the stringy hair, broad shoulders, and large, manly necks, but those are things you can fix. The color is horrible and many of the drawings just look downright strange and very much like strippers. I highly suggest to use this book as a starting point, no more.

Great Resource5
This book is a great resource with multiple poses for various fashion forms. It really helps you to generate sketches that better display your designs in poses you may not have thought of. Highly recommend it.
