I am adding two new books to my list of favorites. Fashion Illustration for Designers (2005), by Kathryn Hagen, has almost 600 pages of excellent drawings of clothed people, along with a great deal of instruction. She is very good at simple line drawings that seem to represent real, attractive, people rather than cartoon characters. She also does very nice cartoonish people. Her earlier book, Illustration for Designers (2000), is similar but has less material.
Another book, Illustrating Fashion (1977) by E. Sloane, shows a variety of styles and demonstrates that a fashion illustration can be appealing even if some of the faces and figures are not even close to realistic.
