I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good books or websites that taught fashion drawing (from the basics)? Personal recommendations would be good too! Thanx!!

Remember that when you are drawing a sketch you don't have to draw human details( you don't need to give people a face!) Just learn how to draw the outline of a body- shoulders, neck arms and legs. It doesn't have to look good it just needs do be the "model" over your drawings of clothes...thats what is really important. Also, like many others said, drawing classes can seriously help. Even a drawing book that gives instructions could help. Good Luck!!

Most fashion designers like to stylise the human body, by making it longer than it is, the trick is to keep it in proportion.
the head is roughly like a egg in shape, with the pointed part at the chin. the eyes are in the middle. most people make the mistake of putting the eyes to close to the top of the head, but they are dead centre. and the hands are the same size as the face, one third of the head.
the body is about 7 and a half heads high, if you stretch the body, then you must do it in proportion.
its worth doing some evening classes in figure (life) drawing, and then you will need to look at techniques to shade. fabrics collect light in different ways to skin, and you need to be able to reproduce these light effects to make your illustrations jump off the page.
best of luck
