Figure Drawing for Fashion Design (Pepin Press Design Books)
Customer Review: A great help for a beginner.
Ive never written a review for amazon before despite buying the majority of my book/cd collection from here. The other reviews on this book though were a great help when I was deciding whether to purchase which is why im writing this one. The first thing to note about the book is its size. Its a big old bumper book and has lots of content. Not too much writing, mostly just footnotes across the bottom. It has lots of different figure templates. Different body sizes and poses. I cheated a little a traced the outline and then freehanded my designs over the top (My creativity is not matched by artistic talent unfortunately so I find it difficult to get proportions correct.) As someone else mentioned the shoes and hairstyles are a little dated. However I did find the pages at the back of the book really helpful detailing how to draw accurate collars/pleats/neck lines/backs of garments. For a tenner Im really quite happy with it. More than I expected and definitely value for money.

Customer Review: great books
Thank you so much for the swift delivery of these books. They are both beautifully illustrated.
