description: This handy studio reference teaches draping drafting and drawing the way they are practiced in the by integrating them throughout the creative process. Integrating Draping Drafting and Drawing illustrates the design process encompassing sketch and garment pattern development and creates bridges between studio methods and design illustration. Chapters are presented as hands-on learning experiences with lessons that mimic classroom demonstrations. Step-by-step photographs portray the draping process in a sculptural way rather than using illustrations which cannot truly depict the response of fabric draped on a dress form. Throughout the book instructions for producing patterns and slopers-skirts bodices necklines and collars and sleeves-are presented along with variations so that students will be able to drape draft and draw complete garments. The concluding chapter of the book is devoted to drawing exercises based on the work of 20th century designer Donald Brooks.
