Figure Drawing For Fashion Design Vol 2

In this highly detailed second volume about technical drawing in fashion design, authors Elisabetta Kuky Drudi and Tiziana Paci demonstrate how to translate 3D images to 2D. Aimed at fashion students and designers, it covers every aspect of garment representation for all kinds of clothing, from skirts to beachwear to accessories, including shape, proportions, cuts, tailoring details, and fabric types. Technical drawings, or flats, are an irreplaceable means of communication to translate in a visually clear and legible way, the sketch of an outfit where stylistic details, actual volumes, lengths, and other elements of the garment are not displayed in depth. In straightforward, descriptive language, this book teaches readers the most effective ways to draw a detailed and accurate representation of the garment that pattern cutters and machinists can read and implement.
