This inspiring sketchbook is part of the new 20 Ways series from Quarry Books, designed to offer artists, designers, and doodlers a fun and sophisticated collection of illustrating fun.

Each spread features 20 inspiring illustrated examples of 45 themes - black dresses, summery hats, stylish shoes, faux fur coats, and much, much more--with blank space for you to draw your take on 20 Ways to Draw a Dress. This is not a step-by-step technique book--rather, the stylized dresses are simplified, modernized, and reduced to the most basic elements, showing you how simple abstract shapes and forms meld to create the building blocks of any item that you want to draw.

Each of the 20 interpretations provides a different, interesting approach to drawing a single item, providing loads of inspiration for your own drawing. Presented in the author's uniquely creative style, this engaging and motivational practice book provides a new take on the world of sketching, doodling, and designing. Get out your favorite drawing tool, and remember, there are not just 20 Ways to Draw a Dress!

This year I invested in creating a whole sewing studio for my niece and wanted fashion sketch books for her to engage in to keep her interest. But this book only has drawn items it does not have any notes, instructions and don't teach anything. I have to pass not what I'm looking for it's better to buy a sketch book

This book is great with a wide variety of things to draw like shoes, dresses, skirts, and even belts. It is comprehensive and well illustrated. The drawings are not fussy and complicated, but they're stylish and attractive. I give it 5 stars without complaint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like the Title Says - And More...
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016

I purchased this book for my six-year-old who wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up! She and her nine-year-old sister both use this book as a handy guide to get ideas on how to draw different outfits when they draw characters. My girls are children, so their fine arts talent is limited presently, but this book isn't too complicated and inspires them - fuels them with options that are doable - and in a variety of styles. They also love just flipping through and picking their favorites on each page. It's more than just dresses too - shoes, jewelry, men's jackets, etc. etc. etc. I think this book has a lot of life for teaching them how to draw as they finesse their skills. It's a win.

LOVE this series of art/drawing/doodling how-to books. They're all so much more than the title -- we have at least five of the titles and LOVE them all. As a mom, I like the different ways of drawing different things -- they help me with ideas when my kids ask me to help them figure out how to draw something.

My 11 year old daughter is pretty interested since it's similar to the fashion games she plays on her phone. I wish it came with step by step directions because my daughter gets frustrated when she can't achieve the same look as the items in the book.

She wants to be a fashion designer but complained to me that she cannot draw! This book contains simplified drawings of fashions to stimulate her imagination with blank pages she can sketch on. It provides a language she can use to communicate designs without several years of anatomy and drawing classes! How perfect was this birthday gift for a 13 year old aspiring to be a wedding dress designer!

I love these books. They are of high quality. The texture of the cover is fascinating and the binding is perfect for a drawing book. It lays perfectly flat. The images within are fun and varied. They give me a great jumping off point and help me past creative blocks. Note: This isn't a step by step, but it provides examples and those examples are simple enough that you won't need step by step directions.
