 a good tips ideas book February 23, 2005
11 out of 15 found this review helpful
Lots of different styles of clothes are shown with scenes of how to fit them to a body. But you are only given the final image, nothing about construction lines. Another problem is all the figures are the perfect 15 - 25 year old types. No children, old people, fat, etc.
 An extensive and impresive guide!! =^-^= February 7, 2005

If you are wondering why this book costs nearly twice as much as the other HTDM books in the series, the answer is: it's twice as long. Instead of the standard 120-odd pages, this one has 238 pages. And it's worth every penny. Every page is packed with pictures of all sorts of clothing, there is no nudity except for one page explaining body types and how they affect clothing (and it's only a line-drawing; you can draw underwear on them if worst comes to worst). The supposed section on how to draw men in women's clothing-which almost dissuaded me from buying the book-turns out to be an insignificant section at the end of a page, telling you that men are leaner in the hips than in the shoulders and that they aren't curvaceous. Boy. You could have fooled me.br /br /This book is divided as follows:br /br /1. How to Make the Most of This Book: (introduction)br /About eight pages long, this preface has about eleven different girls wearing different costumes devised through use of this book. They are really cute and have neat poses, and there are arrows pointing to all parts of their apparel telling you what type of sleeve or dress it is, and on what page it can be found. There are some tips and information on making your own creations. (I really love this part!)br /br /2. Chapter One: Shirts, vests, skirts, pants jeans, dresses, jackets, coats, capes cloaks.br /This is, as you can guess, the longest chapter in the book. It covers all aspects of pretty much anything you could ever put on your body. Everything is for women, however, but many styles and clothes are genderless so it can work both ways. I like the section on dresses the best, but it isn't too extensive (if it was the book would be three times as long) but dresses are more or less the combination of shirts and dresses, so be creative! Everything is done in line-drawing with no use of screen tones, the pages are split into sections dialoguing each type of clothing and its characteristics. The clothes are all drawn on models, standing and sitting, and from all different angles. Very useful. =^-^=br /br /3. Chapter Two: Necklines, collars, sleeves, cuffs.br /Basically what the title would suggest. It isn't very interesting to look at or read, but very useful to add that little touch to your picture that brings it all together. Great as a reference. If you have ever had a dilemma over whether to choose a mandarin or chimney collar on your character's outfit, or can't stop drawing sailor suit tops, this is the chapter for you. It's good for making a creative, detailed look.br /br /4. Chapter Three: Hats, scarves, neckties, shoes, intimates, pockets buttons, pleats, jeans slacks.br /Another useful chapter, with a very useful chart of the different kinds of heels and their names. Don't let `intimates' scare you away, it's just some underwear, nothing `naughty' (except for the thong underwear) that covers sports bras, slips and even some men's underwear. (No men's clothes yet you have some men's underwear...but whose complaining?) br /br /5. Appendix: Creases, basic fashion knowledge, silhouette lines.br /Some useful info on drawing fabrics on different body types, attaching screen tones to clothes, assorted pleats and cuffs, and the cuts of some fabric. Then there are the silhouette lines that describe the way clothing hangs on the body. Useful for talking `designer talk' and impressing your friends.br /br /All in all, I loved this book, and it was definitely worth the money. Whether or not you draw manga, get the book; it's useful for fashion students, even cartoonists, not just manga artists. It's better than watching a fashion shows for ideas (fashion shows are nothing more than soft porn nowadays) because you see the line drawing of the clothes, and not have to guess how to draw the 3D color television image on your own. Buy it now!br /br /

I am an aspiring manga artist, (I admit I'm not very good yet) and clothes have always been an issue in my drawings. This book is invaluabe. It covers every kind of clothing you could imagine. It also touches on combining different styles to form your own costumes. br /br /br /This book is a nessesity, I let my friend borrow my copy of it for a few days, and it is nearly impossible to draw without it now!
Manga-lishious! December 29, 2004

Wow! A great book! Im a begginer to drawing Manga, and I couldnt figure out how the wrinkles on the clothing worked, or any cool looking clothing peorid. After this book, I was able to draw some really neat looking clothing, instead of the 'flat' and boring look I was drawing before.br /br /One last thing, this book was greatly priced. ^.^ I found it in a comic book store for like $30, but here I saved 50% and got the same thing for $15!
 VARIETY! August 26, 2004
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
The only reason I'm giving this book 3 stars and not 4, is because the way this book was organized, was a little confusing. It's always hard for me to find a certain peice of clothing in it. I had to flip through the WHOLE book just to find a pair of friggin' pants. Other than than that. This book was very helpful to me. it has lot's of good ideas, but sadly, nothing as creative as the characters on the cover. TRUE, I usually find myself guiltily judging a book by it's cover *Slap self in face* I can't help myself! You'de think I'd have learned by now! But I would definetly reccomend this book to people who KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING! But as the title of this revew says: VARIETY!
