this book only has one small problem: small captions.
That’s it! It is everything that says in the book description and more!

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!

As an aspiring illustrator, I was looking for a book that would not only tell me the different avenues I could pursue as an illustrator, but the pros and cons to each path, the best process to follow and how I could become a successful illustrator. This book really had it all! I highly recommend it to anyone getting started in illustration.

This book is currently being used as our “unofficial textbook” in my illustration class. A very good overview of illustration careers and practices. Also, this book is great eye candy. I’ve been inspired to experiment a little more based on the different types of illustration in this book.
Excellent for art students and those considering careers in illustration or graphic design.
