How to Draw Costume Chronicle #2: Underwear Chapte

At last--the mysteries of undergarments are revealed in all their glory! An important part of producing any variety of art is a thorough knowledge of how to draw clothing and how it drapes over the human form--and knowing how to draw what's under that clothing is also vital. This book lays bare, so to speak, the construction and function of many different types of underthings: panties (yes, this book is just full of panty shots), bras of all types, negligees, slips, stockings, waist cinchers, girdles, bustiers... just about anything you can imagine. Although most of this book covers garments worn by women, male underthings are covered too. A look at various types of pajamas is also included, and there's even a section on historical garments (the page on the evolution of the bra is, um, revealing). Filled with simple line drawings, this book is a fantastic reference volume, and you'll find yourself referring to it over and over again! The text is in Japanese, but the images can be easily understood by anyone. Check out the other books in this series, too--they're linked below! Softcover with dust jacket. All text is in Japanese.
