I thought this was a really well illustrated book on how to create fashion drawings via different media. Very descriptive and lots of steps by steps instruction on how to draw along with brilliant tips. Highly recommend.

This is a great book that introduces the reader to the world of fashion design. There are excellent illustrations and plenty of information to use as a reference. I was very impressed with the quality of information put in terms that are not limited to just a school course. Would be great for an older child who is interested in fashion design as well.

This is a great book to learn to draw people, fashion and how to design items too. Moving with more body positive times, we get tips to help draw figures in wheelchairs or with crutches as well as able bodied people too of a range of sizes true to life.



There's tips and a quiz to help find your style, multiple ways to colour/create your illustrations such as mettallics, white pen on black card, watercolours etc and how to adapt outfits to be smart/casual or suitable for certain events with figure templates to help you get started and help/tips on how to create a fashion collection of your own to draw and inspire you using an item or colour palette etc.



This is the best book I've ever read about art, design and drawing by far if you want a career in fashion this would be a great basis to start from!



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

This book was simply beautiful. The illustrations were so pretty and had descriptions. The illustrations were body positive with representations. There was a template of a person on a wheelchair, another with crutches, it was a really nice feeling seeing such an inclusive book.

I recommend it to everyone who's interested in fashion, it will be really helpful for you.

This is a fun how-to guide for drawing fashion design renderings aimed at a middle-grade or high school reader. Refreshingly, the models depicted are a range of body types and ethnicities, which gives young fashion enthusiasts with images of representation. I remember growing up with Fashion Plates in which all the bodies were slim bodies and all the facial features stereotypically Caucasian, and this book is such a welcome change. Recommended for someone with an interest in fashion design and a knack for drawing.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Whether you are a budding fashion designer or illustrator, a fashionista, or just have a fondness for art then Fashion Design Workshop: Remix is for you. Its inclusivity is wonderful to see and inspiring to artists young and old. The breezy narrative lends to the charm. Stephanie Corfee has a new fan and she has already inspired me to try a doodle or two.

This instruction book contains information on art tools, basic figure drawing, and many other topics, including drawing fashion for plus size bodies and adaptive fashion for those with physical disabilities. The book includes questions for aspiring fashion designers to consider while finding their particular style, as well as step by step projects. These projects teach artists to draw the human figure and add clothes and styling to it. Stephanie Corfee, the author, is a favorite of mine when it comes to learning to draw and illustrated. I would strongly recommend this book for anyone who wants to work on improving their drawing skills or fashion design.
