Fashion Illustration/Sketching/Drawing : Tools, Croquis, Templates & Books

Fashion Illustration Books and others

Adviced Fashion Illustration Books or Tutorials or other Foruns focused only in Fashion Illustation? Can someone advice? I'm mainly focused in Shoe Design Illustration?

Contemporary Fashion Illustration Techniques by Naoki Watanabe, is what I mainly use. It's very good.

I am newbie here... Does anyone help me out it getting fashion related..

I know this question had been made ad infinitum here but most of the links are expired and I'm having a hard time finding good sources online.

I'm thinking about going back to college to study fashion design since that was always my dream and I feel it would do wonders to improve myself as a garment creator. I'm pretty confident in the whole thing except for the most important part: sketching. My background is in sciences and I only had the most basic of art classes back when I was a little kid. I was never good at drawing.

Are there any good books available online for download? I only have a few months to see what I can do and make up my mind and I'm not finding anything in physical stores (I found one book called "The Fashion Design Course" and it had nothing on sketching).

I already bought a few basics: sketching pencils, India ink pens, an assortment of paper, rulers... I've been watching a few videos on youtube but it's all very confusing due to the variety of techniques. I spent 2 hours today trying to follow a video by a channel called Fashion Teaching and I ended up eating icecream out of a bucket feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't get the torso right. I think I'm even drawing worse than I was before. Does anyone know of good videos that teach in very simple, very complete ways, for people on the very very beginning? I'm not a fan of the whole "drawing over pictures" process as I'm afraid to gain some bad drawing habits.

Thank you and sorry for the long post.
