New Fashion Figure Templates: Over 250 Templates (Paperback)

Key Phrases: Letraset Promarker

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

From quick sketches to polished portfolio pieces, this essential collection leads the fashion student through every stage of the design process. Two hundred classic and modern templates of men, women, teens, and children show figures from every imaginable angle (full-length, three-quarter, back, and front-on), so would-be designers can showcase each stunning garment with the correct pose. Draw right over the templates using semi-transparent layout paper, a light box, or computer scanning. For more adventurous students, this will serve as a guide to create their own properly proportioned figures freehand and elongate the hands, feet, and legs for elegant curves that draw the eye to every unique style feature.

Huff "Kris" (Charleston, SC) - See all my reviews This book is ok. I agree with the other reviewer that it is best for entry level drawing. The croquis are decent minus the stringy hair, broad shoulders, and large, manly necks, but those are things you can fix. The color is horrible and many of the drawings just look downright strange and very much like strippers. I highly suggest to use this book as a starting point, no more. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, August 19, 2007 By  Crissy "Crissy" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews This book is a great resource with multiple poses for various fashion forms. It really helps you to generate sketches that better display your designs in poses you may not have thought of. Highly recommend it.
