About This Book

Basics Illustration: Thinking Visually by Mark Wigan features a wide range of work, demonstrating diverse visual languages, context, ideas, techniques and skills. It also looks at the ways in which illustrators develop their own personal visual language. Contemporary illustrators from all over the world engaged in a diverse range of approaches to the discipline have contributed their artwork and commentaries on visual thinking and the working process. The text also features the work of recent graduates, present students and observations from educators past and present. This edition has been updated to include a new chapter on illustration for the digital context and new approaches to working. A host of contributors will also be supplying new work, broadening the international scope of the book.

The

quest 

for

intelligent, 

conceptually 

rigorous 

and

meaningful 

illustration 

is

a

journey 

with 

no

beginning 

or

end. 

Learning 

is

a

lifelong 

activity. 

Being 

open 

minded 

and

letting 

learning 

happen 

is

the

illustrator’s 

first 

task. 

Learning 

to

think 

visually 

is

a

skill 

that 

must 

be

practised 

daily. 

As

in

sociology 

and

anthropology, 

people 

and

their 

socio-cultural 

context 

in

the

world 

are

our

subject 

matter. 

Being 

observant, 

listening, 

looking 

and

participating 

in

the

world 

are

necessary. 

The

discipline 

of

illustration 

has

a

vast 

and

rich 

history. 

Contextualising 

one’s 

work 

within 

and

beyond 

that 

history 

is

a

way

of

establishing 

your 

own

critical 

dialogue.

In

order 

to

communicate 

visually, 

the

illustrator 

must 

be

interested 

in

humanity 

and

in

literature. 

Intellectual 

curiosity, 

hard 

work, 

ambition 

and

passion 

are

all

essential, 

as

is

the

willingness 

to

engage 

in

creative 

play 

and

experiment. 

It

is

important 

to

bring 

your 

own

personality 

and

concerns 

to

a

project.

This 

chapter 

will: 

Introduce 

ways 

of

recording 

interpretations 

of

what 

you

see

Provide 

ways 

of

visualising 

ideas 

and

thoughts

Showcase 

the

techniques 

used 

by

leading 

international 

illustrators.
