Renowned professor on the subject examines the practice of drawing for illustration through case studies and sketchbooks.
This beautiful, in-depth reference book by illustration professor Martin Salisbury explores drawing for illustration. Salisbury places a special emphasis on drawing, treating it as a fundamental skill that every illustrator should engage with. Assisting students through exercises and case studies, this guide explores the often-unseen world of draftsmanship that underpins finished illustration work.
From book illustration to graphic novels and caricatures to commercial design, this attractive volume draws on sketchbooks, projects, and historical examples to show how they started as drawings from observation and drawings from imagination.
Salisbury starts out by explaining the fundamentals of this exciting discipline before outlining the basic principles of line, tone, composition, and color through inspired examples. Different approaches to drawing, including anecdotal, sequential, and reportage, are examined to help students acquire their own personal visual language. Interviews with illustrators also provide valuable insights into the creative process, as they discuss the challenges, rewards, and what drawing personally means for them.
Visually appealing, Drawing for Illustration features detailed analysis of works by key illustrators from the past and present, including George Cruikshank, Ronald Searle, Sheila Robinson, Laura Carlin, Alexis Deacon, and Isabelle Arsenault, looking at the differing roles drawing plays in their particular illustrative languages and how styles have changed over time.

This is really not a good review, just a fast one for now. To tell you the truth, I just keep flipping thru it. Haven’t read much. This book is so loaded with inspiration and sooooo many different approaches that I can’t imagine a person that wouldn’t find something they love. I will try to update with some photos, but which ones? Who could decide? I LOVE everything. I could have this book instead of dessert!

Il libro è stato consegnato con velocità ma una delle pagine è danneggiata.

This brilliant book is full of fascinating insights into the work of professional illustrators and reinforces the importance of drawing as the root of all illustration. Written in an accessible way and illustrated with beautiful artwork, I can see it being a book I turn to again and again.

Interesting looking at illustration by so many diverse and gifted artists

I just received this book. Purchased on recommendation of a favorite artist on youtube. But as I read the Introduction I come across what appears to be a minor, glaring typo. Until I’m mistaken and I hope I am, is there any school of painting spelled Scool. As referenced in last paragraph, page 6. City if Birmingham Scool of Painting. It bothers me when I come across typos in published books. But maybe that is how that School spells Scool.

This is nearly all large tightly packed Text Bricks with tiny Postage Sized Art Samples placed on White Pages.
Very disappointing ( . )
The provide art work isn’t even full pages of art work, but cut out samples of a full image.

Buch besteht zum größten Teil aus Kommentaren von Illustratoren, wer ein How-To Buch erwartet, wird enttäuscht.
