one of my classroom favorites.......2000-04-14

This is a terrific book--if a little dated. The basic techniques are applicable for any period. My fashion design students really enjoyed this book--so much so, that it disappeared.Every papge is in color, and the basic body drawing and fabric treatments are clear and easy to follow.

Book Description

"Illustration for Designers" is a fashion drawing textbook that has been developed by Kathryn Hagen, utilizing her twenty years of experience teaching fashion drawing at the prestigious Otis School of Fashion at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Already in its second edition, this up-to-date book contains over six hundred illustrations of various poses and garments, step-by-step drawing charts and proportion templates for flats, fashion heads and male and female figures. Fashion poses are analyzed anatomically and structurally, and include a variety of ethnicities, age groups and attitudes. An easy to read text provides important hints for rendering fabrics, developing effective compositions, understanding historical context and developing drawing methods that are both creative and efficient. In addition to the drawing information, the book also seeks to explain an easy approach to the design process. In the section "Designing and Illustrating a Group", the reader is taken through a ten step process that progresses from defining the customer to creating a master sheet to visualizing a final layout, and finally, to illustrating the group.

"Illustration for Designers" is suitable for use by a broad range of people, from the young teen who is interested in fashion drawing, to the fashion professional who wants to put their ideas on paper more effectively. It is being used as a textbook in a number of colleges and art high schools across the country. Teachers and students appreciate its user-friendly features that include a sturdy spiral binding [that allows the open book to lay flat], labeled tabs so different sections can be found quickly, and a detailed index for locating specific information efficiently. Educators who are interested in using "Illustration for Designers" in their classroom will also appreciate that it will be partially revised and updated every two years so that the information will remain current.

Customer Reviews:

Inspirational.......2005-09-09

I loved this book. From the moment that I got it. It makes you wanna draw all day. Kathryn Hagen is an excellent artist and she gives you so much to go on. My weakest point is drawing the fashion figure, because it's somewhat different from normal figure drawing. So it would have been helpful to me if Ms. hagen could have also givin us some tips on how to make sure that everything is in proportion to what a fashion figure should be. But this book hands down is wonderful still!

Top-notch guide.......2004-07-09

This book is the ONLY complete guide to fashion illustration. Besides the lovely and numerous, current illustration examples provided, Ms. Hagen's writing style is so inviting that it makes exploring illustration at this level a pleasure. It is written to encourage individuality while outlining what are considered standards in the fashion industry and the templates provided allow even the very beginner to explore ideas and create valid and useful work quickly and efficiently.

Not bad for the money could be better.......2004-05-04

this book isn't a bad illustration book if you already know how to draw fashion but its not a good book for beginners I would suggest buying the book Fashion Sketchbook first then maybe 9 heads and then this one. This book is best used if you're a seasoned illustrator.

Great Resource for illustration.......2003-07-29

I have to admit, my weakness is sketching/illustrating and I needed help. This book has already helped me observe things about drawing I never considered about shaping eyes, prespectives of a 3/4 head turn, the stance of a figure, etc... It features stylish croquis, how to develop a good pose, and even defines words typical in the fashion industry. The book is spiral bound, looks cheap at first, but it does make it easier to keep on a particular page or section. It's also pricy, but well worth every penny.

EXCELLENT FASHION DESIGN BOOK.......2003-02-06

as a high school student, i take classes at f.i.t. hoping to go to college there next year. this book will help me on my journey. it helps you draw all different types of poses and croquis, including men, flats, heads, body parts, swimwear, pants, evening wear, casual wear, tailored garments and so much more. and for beginners, they have great crouquis you can trace as a base for your own!

Book Description

Celebrate Valentine's Day as only the Peanuts gang can, complete with love notes, chocolates, and lots of laughs!

Customer Reviews:

Brightly colored, and a lot of fun!.......2003-04-17

This cute little book (29 pages, excluding the title page and so forth) is another excellent example of the work of the incomparable Charles M. Schulz. In this book it's St. Valentine's Day, the time of love, candy and Valentine cards. Peppermint Patty sends a card to Charlie Brown, but it's the Little Red-Haired Girl that his heart goes out to. Now, if Charlie Brown can only get her to notice him...

When I was a child, I absolutely loved the Peanuts, and I am so pleased that my own children have now fallen in love with those same funny characters. This book is large and attractive, with brightly colored pictures that are sure to please the young reader (and Peanuts fans of all ages)! My kids really loved a scene when Charlie Brown decides to practice giving the Little Red-Haired Girl a valentine with Snoopy, who surprises him by putting on a red wig!

This is a great book, and my family and I highly recommend it to you!

Be my valentine, Charlie Brown!

For the first time in one irresistible book, here are fifty love-struck years of Valentine’s Day strips from the inimitable Charles Schulz. Could this will be the year that the little redheaded girl sends Charlie Brown a valentine? For the Peanuts gang, love is in the air . . . along with laughter and friendship. This charming collection is a perfect way for you–and someone you love–to be a part of the fun!

Customer Reviews:

Simply adorable.......2003-02-13

I'm a big Peanuts fan so this was a must-buy for me. It's a great collection of Valentine's day strips spanning almost 50 years. You can see how the characters' images have changed through the time. The simple truths they say about love are simply adorable. This book is great as a collectible or as a gift to someone special.

Charming book for the Peanuts lover, or the lover of one.......2003-02-13

This brief collection, like the "Peanuts Christmas" book released a few months ago, takes Peanuts highlights centered around the chosen holiday and presents them in quite a nice format.

While not nearly as big or as long as "Peanuts Christmas," this short book has all of the heart and charm of everything Charles Schulz ever touched. All of your favorite Valentine-related strips are in here -- Snoopy's mountains of cards, Schroeder defending a Valentine-less Charlie Brown, and of course, laments for the Little Red-Haired Girl. Worth buying if you're a Peanuts fan or if you're in love with one. And I certainly hope this series continues -- let's see a "Peanuts Halloween" this fall!

Customer Reviews:

He really had something. Before he lost it........2006-12-05

Unfortunately, Charles M. Schultz hung in a little too long. Although I do respect his decision to not let others take over the strip for him. Thankfully we've been spared a mass-produced daily Peanuts knock-off.

But it is easy to think of reading Peanuts in the newspaper and remember only the tremulous, punchless, demented strip we found in our newspapers in the final decade of Schultz's life. Formulaic and running on fumes, his latter era chicken-scratches were found to actually bombard readers with unstable free radicals, knocking weeks off their lives with each Linus-uttered aphorism.

But the old books are still around, and kids who discover them will have the same chance as those of us before to identify with the Peanuts characters. It's a good reminder that, before the strip went downhill, before the TV specials became popular as nostalgic kitsch, Peanuts was popular because it was the first cartoon to be aimed at children but populated by complex and rich three-dimensional characters. It was the first cartoon to celebrate the wonders of childhood while acknowledging the horrors. Turns out kids do ponder existential questions. Kids do sabotage their interpersonal relationships with their character pathology. And then they lie awake at night replaying the events. Their pets mean the world to them and their parents fade into irrelevancy.

Pretty much the same as the special,(except for the Pawpet Show),
Charlie Brown waits for valentines with pie in the sky hopes. Snoopy makes a music box out of paper, while Sally makes a diamond and a club, and Charlie Brown watches his "something that is very nice" fall apart.

This book was really funny. Charlie Brown, Lucy and Snoopy are probably the best charaters.

A cute and funny story for all kids on Valentine's Day!.......1998-05-19

Charlie Brown and the Peanuts Gang celebrate Valentine's Day. The story captured the imagination of my 20 month old and is now a staple of late-nite reading...even way past Valentine's Day. We had to explain to her that not all of the story is appropriate...Charlie "almost" punches Linus in the nose. Older kids will understand, but the story is still a good read to younger kids.
