Children's book illustrations as Fine Art Form October 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am very much enjoying this book. Not only does it introduce biographies of children's book illustrators, their training and early influences, but it also instructs on how to read an illustration and the various techniques used in creating fine art illustration. Among the questions it answers: how is emotion conveyed; what techniques are used to create that effect; how has that technique changed over time, how is movement conveyed; how is a picture book conceived and planned out?
Beautiful design, interesting writing June 11, 2008

The illustrations are reproduced beautifully. The biographies are well written and give you a sense of the personalities of the illustrators, as well as some useful information on technique. Loved it.
