4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, but some similar information, March 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Draw Fashion Models! (Discover Drawing) (Paperback)
I own other Lee Hammond books, and some of the information from them were re-used in this book. The sections that are new are great! The photographs are wonderful and the step by step drawings are very helpful. I believe the best part of the book was "Drawing the Fashion Face", which had many tips on eyes, noses, ears, and proper proportion. I recommend this book to any beginner or intermediate artist wanting to draw fashion.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's good, but not for a total beginner....., September 22, 2003

This review is from: Draw Fashion Models! (Discover Drawing) (Paperback)
This book definitely showed me how to draw the figure and the face by using shapes, but I need more focus on the clothes and the movement of the body. It's very helpful in showing you how to draw the fabrics to look lifelike so it is a very good book, but not for someone with no experience at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Draw Fashion Models!, September 19, 2003
By 
Globalmar (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Draw Fashion Models! (Discover Drawing) (Paperback)
I found this book to be a incredible help in my art work. I have spent hours in book stores looking at books on pencil art work instruction on drawing people. Among all the books I looked at I found nothing that comes close to Lee Hammonds technique in the use of shading. I also am a photographer and I understand the importance of light values which Lee stresses in her teaching which creates such a realitic look to your drawings.

I am so thankful I came across this book. Lee Hammond states in the acknowledgments of the book she could not find any source or school to teach her the style and pencil technique she teaches so she turned to self-teaching. I also purchased her book "How To Draw Real People" this book has also given me some great ideas to add to my drawings of people. I am in the process of purchasing some of her other books as well on sketching animals. Thanks Lee for sharing your artistic talent!
