Summary

This volume presents an introduction to learning illustration, offering a variety of approaches to beginning artists. Fundamental concepts, techniques, styles, and mechanics are highlighted in a compare-and-contrast format, with functional, step-by-step visuals. The author includes theoretical aspects of illustration, including idea generation; the fundamental building blocks -- concept and composition, value, color, line, pattern, texture; subject matter; and the links of history, culture and taste, cross-cultural and ethnic references. Additional chapters explore the uses of various media such as drawing media, painting media, pens and inks, airbrush, woodcut, graffiti, collage, paper, fabric, and illustrating done with the aid of a computer
