Summary: Out Dated
Review: In general, the book delivers what it sets out to do...teach the beginner a "how to" in illustrating fashion. Although, the croquis (models drawn) are quite out dated. Now-a- days, designers and students use 12 to 15 head croquis, Ms. Abling although talks about the idealized long figures but fails to demonstrate the current lengths. Besides this "technical" outdate I found a few (very few) other outdated parts to this book (i.e. color marker and flats section) But for the sake of not being too critical, I think this book is still worth buying!

Review: The first time I saw his book, I was amazed. It is a wonderful book for fashion illustration which includes male, female and children's positions and facial features. Also, it shows seam lines in great detail. I encourage everyone interested to buy this book, it's worth it.

Summary: Fashion Sketchbook by Bina Abling
Review: This is an excellent and comprehensive book for all fashion design students who wish to learn the art of fashion illustration or for anyone who desires to perfect their skills.
As a fashion figure drawing instructor I suggest that if one's budget only allows them to purchase a single book I would highly recommend this one. In addittion to the female croquis, it touches on the male and juevenile croquis as well as illustration techiques, flats and portfolio presentation.
