Big Book of Fashion Illustration: A Sourcebook of Contemporary Illustration Paperback – February 5, 2008

Decent book with lots of different styles of illustration. I was looking for something that could show me examples of more basic styles, such as 9-head figures. There is actually not a whole lot of that unfortunately but still a fun book.

Got this for the wife, and it is exactly what she wanted. Very good quality of print and a great reference book for the fashion designer.

Love the images in this book. They inspire my artistic side

Packed with inspiration! The book is divided by subject type, women, men, children, street culture, sports, etc. Many styles of art and approach are represented. A solid offering.

this is not a how to\& real characters fashion drawing, it's just an illustrations and high resolution pictures of ads and on each ad. there is a name of the one who created it, i got tricked buying this, it's cheap but heavy for a shipping. if u r the kind of guys who likes to draw and know how to draw (portraits, comics, real life, landscapes, etc..) then NEVER go for this AT ALL, the ONLY thing that attractes me and tricked me to buy this is the cover illustration.

Book contains great ideas on being creative when rendering fashion designs. This book shows different styles and differen t interpretation of the human figure using various mediums.

Nice to deal with quick to send. Very nice Item. I recommend

I absolutely love this book. It has so many different art techniques and I love how the title of the book actually gives you what it promises. Awesome book.

This is quite a hefty, good-sized paperback.Described as a "source book of contemporary illustration" it pretty well is just that; aside from a few pages of introduction, that is the only text - the book is packed with page after page of full-colour artwork executed in a wide variety of media; there's a good ratio of traditional drawing/painting examples to digital or digitally combined work, with Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator as prominent as good o`l pencil n` paper, gouache/watercolour and assorted graphic materials. The illustrations are split into seven sections under the loose headings of Womanswear, Menswear, Youth Culture, Children, Sport, Accessories and Beauty.An inspiring collection of work from a wide range of artists and designers making this a hugely enjoyable and very useful volume indeed; it should appeal to anyone interested in drawing/painting, design, illustration and - of course - fashion.

A square book, glossy page after glossy page of images of fashion illustration.This small book is strong in the broad variety of illustrating styles that it covers.It inspires, although not every style of illustration pleases.A wonderful resource that reveals contemporary, commercial trends in illustration.

Bought as a present and was really happy with the large amount of different styles of fashion illustration, well worth buying if that's your thing.

I saw this on a guide of ideas - what to buy your teen who wants to be a fashion designer.It had good reviews and I bought it as a Christmas pressie. My daughter is enjoying it and found all the different designs inspiring. There is not much text though - it is illustrations.

Stuffed full of amazing, creative and original drawings, this book far exceeded my expectations. I fail to see how anyone could not be inspired by this book with its plethora of styles and great layout. I suspect that the target market is fashion students but my 9 year old budding artist absolutely adores it and so do I as someone with a casual interest in the subject.
