After a decade of catching up with technology, modern illustration is digitally literate and full of stylistic attitude. Today’s illustrators work across a broad range of traditional skills and software and are much in demand. Recognising illustration as a freelance profession, “The Fundamentals of Illustration” explains best working practices appropriate to all industry sectors, including how to market and promote work effectively. It also includes a useful section on copyright and the legalities of selling work. Accompanied by engaging visuals and examples from the world of professional illustration, “The Fundamentals of Illustration” offers a unique and comprehensive insight into the world of professional illustration.
Review:
This book is absolutely wonderful. It is superbly written, beautifully designed, and contains examples covering a vast array of Illustration styles that tie in perfectly with the text.
While the focus is obviously on illustration, I would highly recommend that freelance people in the related disciplines of Web and Graphic Design read this too, since there’s a lot of more general information about the challenges of going it alone. I would hope that educators are integrating books like this into their curriculum, since it’s important for students to understand these challenges before being unleashed into the world!
Thanks for a great book!
