Release Date: September 26, 2023Language: JapaneseLength: 144 pages The author, a lecturer at a fashion college, provides an accessible, step-by-step guide to fashion illustration, starting from the basics. The book begins by teaching how to draw the human figure—covering proportions and poses—in a way that is easy to understand even for beginners. Next, it uses clear illustrations to explain the structure of various garments, showing how fabric is cut and sewn to create them. It covers how and where wrinkles form when a person wears clothes—distinguishing these from intentional design elements like gathers and drapes—and explains essential structural features such as darts and tucks. Additionally, the book introduces tips and techniques for coloring, including how to render different fabric textures and apply patterns. Packed with design variations and illustrative examples, this book is a valuable resource not only for fashion illustration but also for anyone drawing comics or character art.
