Book Description

This book serves as a general introduction to illustration for the college-level student. In this book, students will learn the basics of putting together illustrations for various purposes, will learn about professional aspects of the field, and will consider assignments in botanical, poster, middle grade narrative, comic and picture book illustration, and illustration for self promotion.

Case studies, interviews, and examples of illustrations from college-age illustration students give the reader a secondary point of view from someone at the same stage as them.
