Product Description
Product Description
This text provides a step-by-step approach to drawing the basic fashion figure, identifying the elements of a garment, and discussing the various techniques used to render fashion illustration. The book also benefits the advanced user by its exploration of concepts such as manipulating the figure, drawing draped garments, and creating flats. It is the author's belief that without knowledge of the past, it is impossible to design for the future. Using designer garments, Stipelman helps the student understand a specific concept, the designer and the garments place in the history of fashion. By the end of the book students will have an understanding of the concepts of fashion drawing, both basic and advanced techniques, of their own talents and goals, and a glimmer of their own personal style. New to this Edition: -- CD-ROM with demonstration and discussion by author of rendering techniques for specific chapters -- Four-color illustrations throughout depicting rendering techniques from basic to advanced -- Illustrations depicting current designers and their garments in addition to historical designers and their designs to familiarize students with fashion history -- Discussion of the concept of "style" and an understanding of the concepts of fashion drawing to student's talents and goals -- Chapters begin with an overview of the subject, including a brief fashion history or the relationship of the garment detail to the figure

Insightful techniques and easy to grasp concepts,
By "aesthetica" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illustrating Fashion: Concept to Creation (Hardcover)
I did not realize how resourceful a book this was until I actually sat down and looked through it. I had this book and another fashion illustration book (by Kathryn Hagen) for six months and all this time, I was referencing the other book only to gain insignificant knowledge of fashion illustration. While the other book contains beautifully drawn illustrations, it did little to enlighten me to the techniques, which is important when learning.I didn't look through Steven Stipelman's book before because I deemed it boring and uninteresting based on a brief flip through. When I actually sat down to start reading it, it all seemed to make sense. What Mr. Stipelman does that other books on this topic fail to really do is to talk about technique and concepts. He outlines standards for drawing croquis (working sketch) in steps, which is a must because a croquis is a foundation for fashion illustrations and will eventually lead to a final drawing. He also applies the step by step explanation of how to do different poses and how clothing rests on the body in different ways. A big bonus is that he also provides a historical background wherever he can to each section because each period of time had its own ideal for "the" silhouette or body type. It really just ties in well because you get a broader understanding of fashion's past and its relation to the current ideals of fashion. Whereas some fashion illustration books merely display pages of illustrations done by the author or professionals in the fashion industry, this book is written and arranged in such a way that you feel you're actually in the classroom being taught one-on-one all that it takes to illustrate fashion effectively and beautifully.
