Advanced Fashion Drawing is a practical book showing not only how to draw the figure but also how to illustrate it in today’s fashion and lifestyle market.

Designed specifically for those interested in illustrating fashion and lifestyle commercially, Bil Donovan demonstrates how to create an illustration with a sense of fashion, rather than one that concentrates solely on the fashion figure.

A series of demonstrations and exercises help the advanced illustration student hone their skills and increase their level of draughtsmanship, while establishing their own personal style.


Bil Donovan is a fashion illustrator who has worked and lived in New York, Paris and Milan. He has recently been appointed Dior Beauty’s first artist-in-residence, and his work has appeared editorially in various publications and promotional advertorial campaigns throughout the world. He currently resides in New York where he teaches at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Excellent Book

Worth every penny. This is one magnificent eye catching and eye opening book, it's as if the teacher is talking with you guiding you through your every perceptive step. I've noticed a change in the way I'm working and in where I'm going, making the art of drawing enjoyable once again. My inspiration is now honed on those better aspects of artistic design.
Thank you for this most remarkable and inspirational book Mr. Donovan. Glad that I bought this wonderful book and will treasure it for a long time to come.
