The Fundamentals of Illustration: (2nd Edition) - Softcover

The book truly lives up to its title: It's all about the fundamentals, and it covers all the bases. It goes into depth about medium choices, different kinds of illustration (editorial, publishing, advertising, etc) and self-promotion ... great for a young student who might be thinking about getting into illustration, or perhaps someone who wants to start a new craft with a clear view of how the illustration industry operates. The book also poses questions to get you thinking, and exercises to get you creating. But I think the thing I like the best is the objectivity in which the material is presented. It's honest, sharing the ins and outs, ups and downs to everything it offers. It lets you make the call. * Penelope Dullaghan, Illustration Friday, 2012 *
