“CFMF/ Colors for Modern Fashion is a complete course and guide to drawing modern fashion in color. It teaches skills and techniques that enable new ideas for fashion to be communicated with precision and flair. This 500+ page book includes step-by-step drawings and photo sequences, as well as clear and complete textual explanations, which provide all the technical information and expert guidance needed to sketch all types of garments.
With over 1,000 original, full-color drawings, and numerous other illustrations, CFMF shows how to draw garments made from all types of fabrics ranging from high fashion to everyday wear, including casual, club, street, beach, and active sportswear for Women, Men, and Children. Drawings suitable for all types of situations are shown, from elaborate renderings for portfolios and design presentations to quick concept sketches useful when time is limited.
Separate chapters demonstrate how to draw Fabrics — the key to showing the real look and drape of a garment—and how to draw the Body and Head, with emphasis on facial features and the variations of skin tone and makeup. A chapter on Color and Design introduces color theory and the principles of design from the point of view of fashion drawing in color, fully illustrated with fashion-based examples.
CFMF is designed to be used by readers of all levels and abilities. For Beginners, the chapter Beginning to Draw, establishes the foundations of good fashion drawing, with detailed step-by-step breakdowns of simple, basic garments that can be mastered before progressing to the more complex garments of the later chapters.
