• I do believe that this would become a good resource to have for a course on the subject. I would adopt this book and would consider this for students that were interested in learning to draw flats.

  Jasonpaul McCarthy, Parsons The New School for Design, US

• This text provides insight to how flats and specs are rendered both by hand and by using Adobe Illustration and Photoshop. Commentary from the Guest Artists add strong value to the textbook as the Artists discuss how they create and display a flat, the specific techniques they use to develop a flat, and the type of challenges they have experienced during the rendering process. This provides a special enhancement to the textbook.

  Mary Simpson, Baylor University, US

• An in-depth guide to drawing flats and technical fashion drawings. It also offers the flare of designer fashion illustration. I don't think the students will get bored with the assignments or the reading and topics.

  Christy H. Frederick, Norfolk State University, US

• Yes, it fits our students' needs because it is more suited to the academic environment, with the approach of transforming the conceptual to the technical with student examples, utilizing worksheets, practice pages, and assignments (instead of showing only page after page of "industry" and standard specification computer images).
