Watercolor Fashion Illustration: Step-by-step techniques for illustrating fashion and figures in watercolors

Francesco Lo Iacono is a fashion illustrator who may yet turn out to be the finest of the 21st century. That he is giving us a wonderfully detailed look into his process is nothing short of a blessing! His beautiful pieces are given such space to shine, printed on a stock akin to a thinner watercolour paper.Advice is handily dispensed on rendering a wide variety of clothes, tones, materials, and models in watercolour paint, Copic markers, and coloured pencils. Once the technicalities are covered, Iacono then moves onto more detailed tutorials, giving step-by-step instructions on how he creates his beautiful pieces.The concluding chapters cover digitising your traditional artwork, musings on mixed media, and Iacono's live event work (these pieces being just as gorgeous as their more laboured counterparts).Whether you wish to pursue fashion illustration as a hobby or career, or even just watercolour painting in general, this book should definitely be one of your top choices!

This book is amazing! I’ve only just started going through it and am already picking up new skills. Totally recommend it!

I highly recommend this book. It’s a very interesting step by step guide for all levels. Every corner is covered with information on materials and colour etc.

Very nice well illustrated book.

This has to be one of the best books on fashion illustration for beginners. The author covers details you won’t see in other books giving a glimpse into his life as an illustrator. I love that the book has a good amount of tutorials to help develop your skills. The illustrations are lovely!

Got this book before time.. alot of information related fashion in one book.. really interesting..

Un livre très complet pour apprendre ou se perfectionner en aquarelle, plus particulièrement sur les visages et les illustrations de mode. Francesco Lo Iacono nous donne toutes les explications avec beaucoup de pédagogie et de détails. Beaucoup d'illustrations nous accompagnent pour avancer depuis la page blanche jusqu'aux tuto ! Les aquarelles de l'auteur sont superbes et très inspirantes. Une belle énergie, un livre qui donne envie de créer.

Watercolour fashion art books are few and far between. I have been searching for months, and couldn’t find anything. I thought there would be dozens of titles, but this is the first one I’ve found. It looks like a very good, clear and comprehensive book.
