Fashion Illustration: Inspiration and Technique

This is what Fashion illustration books should be like, inspirational, this book is truly inspirational. Doesn't just teach you simple techniques on how to draw figures but also has amazing and colorful illustrations that just makes you want to seat and start drawing. I love her mix of colors and her soft hand drawings, but more than anything I like the way she play with colors and the mix of media to create textures. I am not sure if this book will be good for a beginner, I am experienced fashion designer and just wanted to brush on my skills because I am updating my portfolio and I haven't being drawing by hand much except always in the computer. But this book takes you straight to the point, kind of assuming you already have some fashion figure background. On the fabric rendering session she just briefly explain what medium she uses but doesn't takes you step by step with demonstrations. But I guess for the price of this book it is well worth it to buy anyway, for any aspiring fashion designer to have for inspiration. The figure drawing session and flats session as well as dressing the figure I think has a good step by step tutorial. Overall I love this book I am glad I bought it. I wish this book came with DVD showing the author demonstrating drawing and doing some color illustrations, and the use of her different medias to do her illustrations, as well as her great fabric and color rendering, I wouldn't mind paying double. I believe the best part of this book are the color illustrations, even with not so much tutorial on how to do it. I hope that in the future she expands this book in to more color illustrations and fabric color rendering.

Want to learn how to draw fashion illustrations including instructions on how to achieve high-end haute couture clothing, styles? This is the book. It helps an artist with color, design, with an emphasis on the "whole look." A gift to young artist working in various mediums. Her beginning fashion designs showed real promise, but it seemed she didn't have a good reference book. It's important that the reader already has figure drawing talents, if it's just an inkling at this point. This book is to get the 'essence' of design. The colors absolutely took my breath away .. not seen anything as complete as this for a young designer. One needs a beautiful inspirational guide to move onto to higher levels of work. She loved this and was excited to get started. Happy that I also purchased a fine quality sketch book, also artist-quality colored pencils with this purchase. Very impressive, a great model for what an artist might be capable of, maybe to just to open an imagination. Beautifully written, there are illustrations and instructions to figure drawing, types of materials and how they are drawn, many unique creations to dream upon. A great purchase for anyone thinking of going into fashion illustrations for a career or for another creative facet of their artistry.

I purchased this book after reading the reviews, and I was not disappointed. I have referenced it so much, I purchased both the Kindle and physical copy. There are many descriptions on how to render fabrics, excellent picture references, not to mention the book is reasonably priced. This book is perfect for fashion designers, but those who are in other artistic fields would benefit from it. I would even recommend it to someone who is using midjourney to create reference photos, as the terminology will help with prompts. Don’t sleep on it; it’s a must have.

This is an excellent book that teaches you a variety of illustrating techniques from start to finish. It is a great tool for students and fashion professionals and simply for the people who loves great illustration. There are step by step instructions which are easy to follow. The authors style is unique and she is clearly an expert in her field. There are instructions on how to illustrate womens, mens, and childrens figures along with many different ways to use fabric and movement. I highly recommend this book!Love it!!!

I bought the book used and it was in good condition, for only $11.00. Definitely worth the price and will definitely purchase again from the author and Amazon. The book was recommended and the pictures and reading are simple to follow and understand.

I see this alot and n ebay. I got on unlimited which is fantastic😍 It has all of the techniques to get started. I have a collection of fashion illustration books I bought in Chicago. This book right here reminds me of a vintage illustration book I had since the seventies its black and white contour line drawings with specific technique driven. Guess what I gave it away thinking I would find it again ...no chance 😑 ☺ BUT this one has the techniques with color and artistic quality. I will be buying hard copy for my collection 😍😍😍

I have never seen an illustration book as beautiful as this one and the bonus is the price tag. Anna Kiper is very talented and looking through the book is an absolute delight. If you are an aspiring fashion illustrator or a fashion designer this book is a treat, the most important part is that she makes it so much easier to illustrate difficult things and make them look realistic. Who would think to use a sand paper to create a perfect tweed texture, or use an actual tulle to illustrate one in seconds? Well, she has million of shortcuts like these. Anna Kiper is my art and design professor at FIT in New York, NY and this book is an exact material that we learn in class, so if you don't have the time to attend her classes, this is the best next thing. -Milana

A great book for fashion illustration! Anna Kiper is such a wonderful designer/ illustrator/ educator! She has a magic hand that can draw everything and can render everything. This book is my bible- I referred to it million times when I was designing and doing fashion illustrations. She has thorough details of each technique and all the explanations are very clear and easy to follow. Very resourceful and great book to have!

An amazing book, very well written, contains all information about designing, very transparent and helpful.

Excelente muy educativo

Helaas in nederland vragen ze de jackpot prijs ervoor. Lekker goedkoop op Amazon. Dankjewel Amazon !

Es muy bonito los bocetos son increíbles eso sí no te dice como hacerlos pero ...este libro ya es para diseñadores que ya tienen una noción de dibujo y color

ممتاز جدا
