Illustration

Design and Creative Software

Illustration is the art of creating visual images—by hand or digitally—to accompany, explain, or decorate text, such as in books, editorial pieces, advertising, packaging, or concept art. Illustrators use tools ranging from traditional pencil, ink, and paint to digital software like Procreate and Photoshop to develop a distinct visual style. It's practiced professionally by freelance and staff artists in publishing, entertainment, gaming, and marketing industries, and as a hobby by artists who enjoy visual storytelling.
