Wonderful – with a quibble,
There is much to learn in this book by Bil Donovan. He is a tremendous talent. I’ve been a fan of his illustrations for years.
His book is packed with images at the edge – illustrations like Rachel Ann Linday’s fantastical “continuous line drawing” are not to be missed.
And the exercises and multimedia techniques will appeal to artists, illustrators as well as fashion designers. One of my favorites is the chapter on media, where we see the same image repeated on various papers, using different mediums including digital.
My only quibble, and it is minor, is despite an abundance of brilliant, fresh imagery, I also found safe, old-school figures. The cover, as example. At first glance it’s another ho-hum stereotypical runway mannequin. Look a tad closer and marvel at the technique in line and body.
I was hoping for an even larger ratio of high-risk, underground imagery – the kind found in Laird Borrelli’s “Fashion Illustration Next”.
Nonetheless, there is plenty of greatness in “Advanced Fashion Drawing.” The book is an achievement and a classic. It should be a staple for aspiring illustrators for many years to come.
