Among the many components of fashion illustration, one of the most
fundamental is the expression of clothing designs as flat drawings.
Despite their apparent simplicity, it is necessary to pay careful attention
to certain details that are often overlooked in order to convey the
desired shape, volume, and texture of a particular garment. At the
same time, the flat drawing proves to be an easier method of illustration
than that of drawing three-dimensional human figures, offering
the illustrator an equally effective, faster, and less complex way of
expressing their ideas. Essential Fashion Illustration: Details is perfect
for those looking to polish their drawing skills or for those who find
difficulty in drawing the human figure and are searching for the right
tools to express their clothing designs on paper.
Covering an extensive range of garments including pants, skirts,
dresses, shirts, jackets, swimwear, and underwear, this compilation of
flat drawings provides a complete overview of the different varieties
within each garment and features the styles that have been the most
relevant throughout the history of the wardrobe. An essential part of
any design, accessories like shoes and hats have also been included
to aid designers in achieving the most complete design possible. Most
important, however, the illustrations will serve as a reminder to pay
attention to crucial details such as stitching, pleats, and wrinkles,
which often make all the difference in lending a realistic character to
a drawing.
Flat drawings, although perhaps less visually attractive in comparison
to other techniques, form an indispensable part of fashion illustration.
A basic and straightforward representation of a garment as a flat
drawing is the first step in expressing an idea for a design on paper,
and given their simplicity, must be executed with perfection in order
to convey all of the qualities and characteristics of a particular piece.
Essential Fashion Illustration: Details intends to provide those looking
to develop their own drawing skills with a practical and useful source
of inspiration that holds the keys to mastering the art of the flat drawing
in the world of fashion design.
