This book’s aim is to submerge the
reader in the world of illustration. The first section ranges from
how to start to draw a human figure to the techniques to stylize and
synthesize it. This section provides a large amount of figures in
different poses, as well as hands and feet—often the most difficult
parts— in diverse postures and angles. However, in the field of
fashion it is also essential to know how to draw fabric, and even
more important to know how to draw the folds of clothing. The items
of clothing are presented as much in technical drawing as in figures
in movement, and forming light and shadow is also explained, as this
gives quality to the illustration.
The second part of the book revolves around color and the different
techniques with which one can work: watercolor, wax, pastel, and so
on. All the drawings that appear constitute a brief exhibition of
the changes that the fashion world has experienced and with this in
mind a path has been laid which starts in 1900, illustrated in
watercolors, and finishes in 2000, illustrated in pencil. The goal
of this volume is to uncover the reader’s desire to paint and to
provide him with some of the secrets that will encourage him to do
so. After all, experience is the most effective way to learn,
whatever the subject.
