Fashion Illustration | Colin Barnes
1 post
Illustrated throughout with examples from the work of international fashion illustrators, such as Eric, Arari, Michael Roberts, Lawrence Mynott, Zoltan, Mats and Phan van My, this is a reference work for aspiring fashion illustrators. The book's wealth of visual beauty is balanced by a comprehensive text. All aspects of the art - its history and origins; the basic techniques of line, figure drawing and poses; colour, texture and pattern; materials; reprographic techniques - are fully explained in words, pictures and drawings. Practical and informative, this book also gives advice on setting up in business - preparing a portfolio, commissions, briefings, agents and copyright.

I did a lot of fashion illustration when I was at art school (a long time ago!) but kept hold of a few of my books.... I particularly love the vintage one (Fashion Drawing) that was my great Grandad‘s.... he was a oil painter and carpenter..... 🎨💕

Leftcoastzen Very cool! 5y
ValerieAndBooks Didn‘t know you went to art school 😍! Do you do any thing art-related these days? 5y
KarenUK @ValerieAndBooks yes for 5 years I studied art. And no, not at all now. I have huge anxiety about it now.... it‘s like a blank page phobia.... I keep saying “this year” and never do..... I haven‘t put a pencil to paper in over two decades.... I also stopped playing the piano for the same amount of time. But started playing again recently..... but can‘t play a single note if even my hubby is in the house. I hope one day I‘ll get over it..🤷‍♀️ (edited) 5y

Cinfhen Beautiful books and how come I NEVER knew this about you????? 5y
ValerieAndBooks Hugs! Don‘t give up! Remember the bracelet you sent me with the book exchange 😊! I understand though— I have similar issues with creativity. 5y
KarenUK @cinfhen I‘m so embarrassed about it, I feel kind of silly. I guess it‘s a whole fear of failure thing.....🤷‍♀️ @valerieandbooks I exercise my maker/creator side in the kitchen, I play my piano when literally no one can hear, but I just can‘t seem to start drawing again.....but thank you for your kind words 💕 5y
