A Complete Resource on Rendering Clothing and Drapery

 In order to effectively draw clothing and drapery, an artist must recognize the basic shapes of clothing and how the principles of physics act upon those shapes. 
 Beginning with the basic shapes of clothing and the anatomy of folds, and progressing to final rendering techniques of both sculpted and loose drapery on solid forms - including how motion affects wrinkles, folds, and waves, The Artist’s Guide to Drawing the Clothed Figure presents a novel and completely thorough approach to understanding the mechanics of drapery. 
  This comprehensive resource examines the mechanical principles behind the formation of folds: simple wave patterns, intersecting wave patterns, and tertiary effects upon these two, such as twisting and flowing forms. The book breaks down all clothing into three types: sculpted forms, loose drapery, and, most especially, tubes.
 Once these mechanics are established, various techniques for rendering clothing are presented, including how factors such as the stiffness, thickness, or texture of a particular material can affect the appearance of an article of clothing. Throughout, the author examines examples from master draftspersons - old masters, cartoonists, illustrators, and fashion illustrators, including Leonardo da Vinci, Ingres, Degas, Joseph Christian, Leyendecker, Charles Dana Gibson, Raphael, and Will Eisner - to see how they interpreted this information.

Illustration is one of today’s fastest growing creative disciplines. Its versatility has made it a key visual element in fashion, lifestyle, editorial design, and advertising. Illustrations depict and enrich content in magazines and other publications. They help advertisers to address target audiences more precisely. Illustration appears more and more frequently in fashion and packaging design, and the combination of illustration and photography has resulted in a new, more complex visual language.

The Beautiful presents the work of 100 of today’s most sought-after illustrators in the areas of fashion, lifestyle, editorial design, and commercial illustration. These include Autumn Whitehurst, Cecilia Carlstedt, Daniel Egneus, Ed Tsuwaki, Gabriel Moreno, James Dignan, Jenny Mörtsell, Jules Julien, Julie Verhoeven, Kareem Iliya, Lina Bodén, Linn Olofsdotter, Liselotte Watkins, Makiko Sugawa, Margot Macé, My Dead Pony, Piet Paris, Ricardo Fumanal, Sara Singh, Stina Persson, Tina Berning, and Will Broome.

The book was compiled by Anneke Krull, who has established herself as a respected developer, designer and art director of a variety of fashion magazines over the last ten years.

Well-crafted and class-tested, this guide to figure drawing features a unique teaching method. It focuses on learning to draw complete figures prior to the study of individual components, and it stresses action figures rather than the customary static examples favoured by most drawing and anatomy texts. Employing more text than typical art instruction books, it presents thirty figure drawing lessons and fifty-six drawings and figures. Each lesson includes detailed instructions on anatomical drawing, accompanied by visual examples of strokes, boxes, and measurements.

Author Alon Bement taught art instruction to future art teachers at Columbia University and later founded the prestigious Maryland Institute of Art. His students included Georgia O'Keeffe, who regarded him as a mentor and major influence. Bement's nontraditional approach offers students at all levels an excellent opportunity to build their visual acuity and technical skills.

As feminine-themed illustrations and decorations become more and more popular in our daily lives, this book showcases the work of talented artists around the world, as well as a collection of lifestyle and entertainment products. A bonus "Behind the Scenes" chapter offers a precious peek inside artists' studios and their creative process.

The New Age of Feminine Drawing demonstrates clearly how and why illustration in fashion has made an amazing comeback. Having virtually reached saturation point, photography is no longer the all-powerful medium of creativity, and has once again given way to the age old art of drawing.

The drawings featured in this exciting new title represent many different styles and a broad cross section of artists. All works featured have one thing in common: they possess a uniquely feminine power of seduction.

Categories covered include magazine covers, posters, cosmetic advertisements, lifestyle advertisements and entertainment products. Artists featured include Akari Inogouchi, Annika Wester, Carine Brancowitz, Cecilia Carlstedt, Cedric Rivrain, Christina K. Coco, Elisa Johns, Laura Laine, Lotie, Maren Esdar, Jarno Kettunen and more.

The Sketch book provides a readily available support for anyone to put down on paper one's thoughts, ideas, notes. Sketch books are highly personalized and eventually result in interesting compilations of text, scribbles, simple pencil sketches, elaborate ink drawings, color renderings, photographs, collages and photomontages. It is both useful for the artist who fills up the pages as a record of the development of one or various projects and for others to see the evolution, step by step.

Watercolour painting, the painting with pigments suspended or dissolved in water, is one of the oldest forms of painting. It is also a form of painting that is very suitable for practical applications, as the subtle colours allow for a wide array of uses. Watercolour Patterns contains a collection of some 140 patterns, which were especially made for this edition by Joost van Roojen, who has specialised in watercolours since the 1950s and has gained a fabulous technical mastery of this medium.

Agile Rabbit Editions contain stunning images for use as a graphic resource, or inspiration. All the illustrations are stored in high-resolution format on the enclosed free CD-ROM and are ready to use for professional quality printed media and web page design. The pictures can also be used to produce postcards or to decorate your letters, flyers, etc. They can be imported directly from the CD into most design, image-manipulation, illustration, word-processing and e-mail programs; no installation is required. For most applications, single images can be used free of charge.

One of the most extensive pictorial collections of its kind, this volume of 700 full-color illustrations provides an authentic and fascinating glimpse of what fashionable women were wearing more than 2,000 years ago.
Like many of today's young ladies, fashionably dressed women of ancient Egypt favored pointed sandals and dresses of transparent materials. Off-the-shoulder gowns were popular, as was costume jewelry. Assyrian females liked fringed accents on their tunics and gowns, while Greek and Roman ladies of fashion were partial to loose robes that frequently revealed upper and lower limbs. Head coverings from helmets and shawls to wide-brimmed hats were de rigueur. Organized according to region--Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek, Roman, and Greco-Roman--the finely detailed drawings are accompanied by brief identifying captions.
A valuable reference for costume historians and designers, this extensive pictorial collection will delight fashion enthusiasts as well.

WOOSH! is a collection of personal spaceship sketches created by entertainment designer Lorin Wood as he decompressed on his couch after a long day at work. While “analog” in its execution, there’s nothing dated about his vision of the future. His detailed ships will have you dreaming of space exploration with every line and brushstroke. And artists, hobbyists, and anyone who enjoys sketching will also appreciate Wood’s tips on what traditional tools to use and how to render.

About the Author:

Lorin Wood was raised in an extraordinarily creative home with family members who encouraged him to pursue the visual arts from his earliest years. His love of illustration and design was refined by copying his father's industrial design portfolio and getting a healthy dose of the work of Syd Mead, Joe Johnston, and Ralph McQuarrie, among others. Wood s passion for spaceships and robots led to a career as a conceptual designer that has spanned nearly two decades, working across multiple facets within the entertainment industry from animation, visual effects, and previsualization, to product and installation design. Some of his film credits include 2008 s The Day the Earth Stood Still for 20th Century Fox under legendary visual effects supervisor Jeffrey Okun, 2006 s A Scanner Darkly by Richard Linklater for Warner Independent Pictures, and Unique, a film pitch with David Goyer at the Walt Disney Company. He also contributed to the video game Aliens: Colonial Marines for Sega and the popular Borderlands franchise at Gearbox Software, where he created the game s muse robot, Claptrap. Lorin Wood is the founder of the popular blog Nuthin But Mech, which is also a popular book series featuring mech designs by some of the world s top concept artists and designers working in the industry today."

What pareos, sarongs, saris, shawls, scarves, capes, and bandanas all have in common is that they consist of one piece of fabric. However, they differ enormously in size and shape and how they are wrapped, draped and secured. Linking the roots of one-piece clothing with modern fashion design, Wrap & Drape Fashion offers a comprehensive overview of the historical and cultural particulars of unstitched garments. Furthermore, this book contains practical instruction on creating new prints, and many unique examples of how to cut fabric to create exciting, fashionable one-piece apparel. This is accompanied by original cut designs, complete with measurements and fabric recommendations.

Contains more than 400 excellent, professional drawings, including many step-by-step examples of how to sketch the figure. As a source of inspiration and instruction, this book is an essential tool for fashion enthusiasts, students and professionals.
