Character Costume Figure Drawing is the essential guide that will improve your drawing skills and costume renderings. Step-by-step visuals illustrate the how-to’s of drawing body parts, costumes, accessories, faces, children, and different character archetypes, such as maternal, elderly, sassy, sexy, and evil. By focusing on the foundations of drawing bodies, including body proportion, bone structure, body masses, facial expressions, and appendages, this guide shows you how to develop sketches from stick figures to full-blown characters.

The third edition features a new chapter, Digital Mixed Media Costume Rendering. This chapter introduces the basic usages of Photoshop tools to enhance and improve costume designs, in order to provide easy delivery design ideas to the director and design team; to provide easy changes and alterations during the design process; to virtually apply actual fabric swatches over costume sketches; and to help visualize lighting effects.
