Introduction To Illustration

Illustration is one of the first thoughts that usually come to mind when mentioning art, like the portraits of people and any life drawing, which can easily be described as both fine art and illustration. The subject illustration covers an extensive range since it has everything to do with sketching and idea making. A good example of where illustration gets used is the concept art that went into making an animated movie. They range from expressions to the portrayal of anatomy. These steps are vital as they cover what the core of this subject is all about.

The composition of the illustration is what matters most for any finalised piece created. As stylising is heavily involved in for whole process and it gives the piece a more engaging and creative appearance.
