To keep this effect, beware of too rounded curves. After the Sketch is finished, some accents should be put in, in places where Shadows would naturally be; this gives added interest to sketches. From the first, observe and work for texture. Notice how delicate, light lines express thin material better than heavy.

Download or read book Costume Design and Illustration written by Ethel Traphagen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethel Traphagen's work Costume Design and Illustration is a detailed textbook for use by those working to create and accurately represent costumes using illustrations. This is clearly intended to be an instructional work for aspiring and practicing costume designers. Before offering technical advice, Traphagen highlights what she believes to be an important distinction between designers and illustrators. Designers are those who must create a garment from their imagination and represent it on a page, whereas illustrators must take a garment that exists and accurately represent it through a drawing. Traphagen believes it is vital for both designers and illustrators to have an intimate knowledge of the skills and requirements of the other's task, and thus presents this book as essential to both groups. The information presented in this textbook follows a logical progression. Early chapters detail strategies and techniques for effective sketching, including information on sketching both with and without models. Later chapters discuss specific methods to use when sketching, the use of colour in illustrations, the principles of effective fashion design, and specific information on period fabric selection, amongst other topics. Costume Design and Illustration is a brief and accessible work. The images presented within the book are useful and effectively illuminate the text. While this book would be most useful for those with some experience in costume design and illustration, it can also serve as a worthy introduction to the topic. At less than 200 pages, it can be read in a day, but would probably be best served by slowly digesting the techniques presented within and spending ample time practicing. For anybody involved in costume design, or for those interested in getting into the art, Costume Design and Illustration would be an excellent addition to your library.

Download or read book Textiles and Costume Design Classic Reprint written by Evelyn Peters Ellsworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from d104iles and Costume Design Indeed, ermine is a striking example of a misused accessory in a costume. It is fascinating, because it conjures up visions of royal personages, knights and ladies. The laws of the Middle Ages (edward III) required that it be worn only by nobles, and to-day in Europe ermine is worn on state robes; the rank and position of the wearer is in many cases indicated by its presence or absence and the disposition of the black spots, and when worn in crowns or coronets it is a recognition of heraldry. Therefore, at all times it should be reserved for state occasions or worn for mally with certain royally textured and dignified clothes and fabrics, just as velvets and satins are reserved for formal gowns and not for kitchen or garden work, just as large velvet hats are not worn in the morning with workaday clothes or short skirts, and just as royally plumed, large velvet hats are suited only to formal afternoon or evening gowns of velvet or satin. Much might be written upon this subject of good taste and imagination in the wearing of clothes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Creating the Illusion Turner Classic Movies written by Jay Jorgensen and published by Running Press. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marilyn Monroe made history by standing over a subway grating in a white pleated halter dress designed by William Travilla. Hubert de Givenchy immortalized the Little Black Dress with a single opening scene in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. A red nylon jacket signaled to audiences that James Dean was a Rebel Without a Cause. For more than a century, costume designers have left indelible impressions on moviegoers’ minds. Yet until now, so little has been known about the designers themselves and their work to complement and enrich stories through fashion. Creating the Illusion presents the history of fashion on film, showcasing not only classic moments from film favorites, but a host of untold stories about the creative talent working behind the scenes to dress the stars from the silent era to the present day. Among the book’s sixty-five designer profiles are Clare West, Howard Greer, Adrian, Walter Plunkett, Travis Banton, Irene, Edith Head, Cecil Beaton, Bob Mackie, and Colleen Atwood. The designers’ stories are set against the backdrop of Hollywood: how they collaborated with great movie stars and filmmakers; how they maneuvered within the studio system; and how they came to design clothing that remains iconic decades after its first appearance. The array of films discussed and showcased through photos spans more than one hundred years, from draping Rudolph Valentino in exotic “sheik” dress to the legendary costuming of Gone with the Wind, Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, Bonnie and Clyde, Reservoir Dogs, and beyond. This gloriously illustrated volume includes candid photos of the designers at work, portraits and wardrobe tests of stars in costume, and designer sketches. Drawing from archival material and dozens of new interviews with award-winning designers, authors Jay Jorgensen and Donald L. Scoggins offer a highly informative, lavish, and entertaining history of Hollywood costume design.

Download or read book A Manual of Costume As written by Herbert Druitt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Costume As: Illustrated by Monumental Brasses The adequate acknowledgment Of an author's indebted ness to authorities, in a work of this kind, presents many difficulties. It was intended that a Bibliography should have been printed at the end of this book, i which would have shown the range of these obligations; but it was found to be impossible to include this, as it would have increased unduly the Size of the book. This bibliography will be issued, with some additions, in a separate form at a later date, when it is hoped that it will prove of service to the student. But it must be stated here that the author's chief indebtedness is to the Rev. Herbert Haines' Manual of Monumental Brasses, now, unfortunately, out of print, and comparatively costly, but which for more than forty years has been and still remains the standard work on the subject. Many of the illustrations are from photographs, taken directly, of the brasses themselves. The author's grateful acknowledgments are due to Mr. E. M. Beloe, junr., for his photographs of the Elsing brass; to Mr. W. H. H. Rogers, F for his kindness in allowing the use of some thirty blocks, made from his own carefully prepared rubbings; and to Mr. H. K. St. J. Sanderson for the use of his block of the brass at Cople.

Download or read book 1950s Fashion Print written by Marnie Fogg and published by Batsford Books. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential sourcebook of prints from a key fashion decade. The 1950s was the decade when an analytical approach to design, with a lightness and freshness, combined with whimsical imagery and idiosyncratic subject matter. Showcasing hundreds of print designs, this book celebrates the heyday of postwar fashion design. From Lucienne Day and Robert Stewart to Maija Isola of Marimekko, the designs and influences of the print icons of the time are all covered. In addition to finished prints, the book contains exclusive illustrations and original artworks. The major themes of the period are explored, including: narrative and novelty; abstraction, exploring the distorted and attenuated forms used in print; artistic licence and the influence of contemporary art on fashion print; and finally kinetic prints that capture the influence of the era's 'mobiles, doodles and spasms'. Each short chapter introduction is followed by a range of illustrations with captions to give provenance and relevance, making this a unique sourcebook for contemporary designers and students.
