Fashion illustration is an essential tool every would-be designer must master, and in this practical and enlightening book for artists of any ability, instructor Bethan Morris covers all aspects of the art form. Beginning with "Inspiration," the chapters in Fashion Illustrator are chock-full of vibrant illustrations and professional advice on subjects like sketching figures, understanding body proportion, and the different range of media available (drawing, collage, digital), presented along with useful case studies, practical exercises, even tips for putting together a professional-looking portfolio. Morris also includes profiles of influential fashion illustrators, who offer valuable insight into the industry.
Fashion Illustrator is one of two titles this fall from Abrams Studio, the imprint dedicated to providing artists and designers with innovative, affordable books to help them improve their skills.
Bethan Morris is a lecturer at the West Wales School of the Arts and a visiting lecturer at the University of Wales Institute. She holds a Master of Arts in fashion and textiles from Bath Spa University and has been an artist-in-residence at many schools and colleges. Morris lives in Cardiff.
