Delve into the art of menswear illustration and learn what it takes to create professional, praiseworthy fashion sketches.

With over 300 color examples, illustrator and educator Lamont O'Neal uses a mixture of watercolor, marker, pencil and digital tools to help you master fundamentals such as anatomy and proportion. Later chapters focus on garment drawing, the principles of balance and movement as well classic poses and how they can highlight a design.

There's also a guide to the history of menswear illustration, with introductions to some of the most influential practitioners and discussion of how to develop your own individual style by using hand drawing as an expression of individual style and creativity. There are also reference photographs showing how sketches and illustrations relate to the finished garment, making this the ultimate guide to drawing and rendering the male fashion figure.
