Fashion Illustration
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.

Disabling Barriers, Enabling Environments
