Fashion Sketchpad

How do you get your fashion ideas down quickly and neatly? Fashion Sketchpad from Chronicle Books is an English-language tool for anyone who wants to sketch clothing designs and develop them in a professional way. The book has 105 pages and includes 420 figure templates, or croquis, in 20 different fashion-forward poses — ideal for sketching, styling and building out your collection.

Fashion Sketchpad: your base for fashion design and sketching

At its heart, Fashion Sketchpad is all about working with croquis: pre-drawn figure outlines that let you sketch garments and details straight away, without first drawing proportions. That makes it suitable for beginners who want to capture their first ideas, as well as experienced designers and professionals who need to develop and present concepts quickly. Use it for fashion sketches, look development, design concepts and your personal portfolio.

From first sketch to finished concept

With 420 templates and 20 poses, you can turn ideas into visual designs in no time. An illustrated garment glossary helps you distinguish between typical silhouettes and details, such as a caftan, sheath or maxi. That makes Fashion Sketchpad not only creative, but also a useful learning aid for anyone practising fashion drawing.

A specially formulated Pantone colour means the figures disappear when scanned or photocopied, so your design stays in focus and is easy to work with.

Whether you are taking your first steps in fashion drawing or preparing a collection professionally, Fashion Sketchpad gives you a solid foundation for strong ideas, precise sketches and confident presentations.
