"all rights reserved.whole or partial reproduction and use of text and drawings in any form for any use by any means including photocopying to substitute book pucharse is strictly forbiden any breach or violation will be prosecuted by law"what does this mean?does that mean i can't use the drawings in the book as reference?

It was clear explaining and practicing the examples. It shows good details ..I liked the whole book..

OK - but must practice on the "folds" more

An exhaustive study on how to capture all the nuances of drawing and painting fabric. A good addition to an art book library

Was a gift....and she loved them!

Purchased for my son who was interested in expanding his knowledge of drawing people. He loved it

OK, rather rudimentry, little on draping

Really great content!! Educational and Civardi's drawings are gorgeous.

There are some drawings of clothing with folds in, some discussion of different ways things can fold, some discussion of how different fabrics fold differently. There is the redundant advice that when drawing fabric from life you should look at what you are drawing. And some history of art.There are also a number of pages that are rather generic, I strongly suspect they might reappear in the author's other books. And then about twenty pages of largely uncommented drawings; very nicely executed, but not much use for learning from. The author has the skills I would like to learn, but doesn't really pass them on to the reader with any significant success.

Really good book. Fast delivery. As described in advert

Good for reference but hard to put into practise.

Excellent book, thoroughly recommended!

very good. worth the money
