lustrations are a visual way to portray or illustrate a written text. They might help explain an idea or tell a story or provide decoration. They come in many forms both traditional and digital. Drawings—in both black-and-white and color—are one of the most widely used styles of illustration. Pencil drawings allow both soft lines and sharp edges. Ink drawings gorgeously showcase contrast. Charcoal drawings can create dramatic shadows and are often the tool of choice in illustrating stories. Lithography, an old drawing-meets-printmaking technique that has since been modernized, has also recently been making a comeback. illustrative paintings use watercolor, gouache, and acrylic to tell their stories. Watercolor illustrations evoke a general feeling of softness and femininity. Gouache paint is a bit more rich, and commercial artists often choose it for posters and comics because of its speedy drying process. Acrylic is easy to use, versatile and can be used on many surfaces.
