My teacher recommmended that I get this book and I absoulutely love it. Karen Hagen is a great illustrator and gives a variety of ideas of different mediums to use and how to coordinate them all together. This book is also great for those who don't quite know how to draw. There are step by step instructions and the illustrations are great!

i teach from this book and it is instrumental in creating enormous breakthroughs in students' sketching abilities. you will never tire of this book. loads of information. a must.

I found this book the best for examples on learning to draw draped garments on the body. Although not explicitly meant for this purpose, this book divides each type of garment by chapter and gives examples for drawing them, appropriately. I find her approach realistic, and her style excellent. She definitely helped me!

I have a lot of worthless books on fashion illustration, however, this one is not one of those. It is worth the money and then some. She is clearly a good teacher, the illustrations are great and the videos are a bonus. Buy this book, you won't be disappointed.

I have purchased almost every book on fashion illustration out there, and this is still the best. It covers all media, has beautiful full color illustrations and hundreds of black and white. It also shows how to illustrate males and children of all ages.

As an industry professional I purchased this book to polish my illustration skills but the book was a huge disappointment. 90% of it is black and white, the other 10% barely contains any rendering instructions. The book is poorly organized - the information is scattered and confusing. For example, the same spread can contain human anatomy samples, clothes details, and Photoshop tips. The same drawings are recycled over and over again throughout the book. The illustrations look over-worked, comics-like, and dated.

This book is worth every penny- it is clear and concise and shows you the basics of fashion illustration.

I needed this book to help me render my sketches. ITS THE BEST BOOK YOU CAN BUY!! it comes with two DVD's and the book is hefty and about 300 pages, each one with valuable information!

I really enjoyed the illustration in this book everything is easy to understand. It makes life much easier as a fashion designer to know how to structure the garments in a way so it can flow. Also it helps with your drawing stills. I would recommend this book to anyone.
