5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic fashion drawing and design book, July 5, 2005
This book has been really helpful and I will continue to use it throughout my fashion design course. It has shown me how to draw the fashion figure, and even faces and hands, really simply. I like the way it shows you how to draw different fashion figures, draw the clothing and then make fashion presentations from your artwork. Plus it has lots of cool examples of fashion drawings by different designers and illustrators. I would recommend this book to everyone who is interested in fashion design. It is really informative and inspiring!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, March 24, 2007
By M. Logan "Inner Synergy" (Mendota Heights, MN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for my 12 year old daughter who is just getting into fashion. It is a great book for beginners -- she started creating beautiful outfits from the very start. It looks like so much fun I might give it a try myself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Bang for the Buck, July 4, 2007
By Vee (Hollywood and Hudson Beach, FL, USA) - See all my reviews
For years, I've sketched fashion/outfits, automobiles, and architecture simply as a hobby. Because of schedule conflicts, proper classes to develop skills have never been possible. Naturally, I began looking for a "text book" that would help me to improve my proportion and shading skills as I've had the most difficulty with "human subjects".

After numerous purchases of everything from how-to books to actual text books, I can confidently say that Fashion Artist by Sandra Burke is exactly what I needed it to be. With clear examples, step by step instructions and lists of required materials, this book takes what can seem to be an overwhelming situation (figuring out proper limb placement and size plus contouring) and breaks it down into engaging, easy to retain information.

As someone who appreciates all styles of illustration, I also enjoyed the variety of artwork used to showcase the amazing potential offered to a budding artist.

Some of the "problem areas" that this book covers are hands and feet, facial features, and fabric rendering.

Whether you're a fashion illustrator looking for a refresher, an artist wanting to expand, or simply someone who enjoys all things fashion, this book fits the bill. I highly recommend this book.

This book didn't seem to help me much. Except how I should present my drawings. Yes, it is a ok book. But, Fashion sketchbook is hands down much better than this book.
