CHOICE Review
This beautifully designed book not only showcases full-color illustrations from working professionals in many styles, it provides a wealth of information for individuals looking to make it in the world of professional illustration. For students, this title is a must, as their next step is the work world. Undergraduates may benefit particularly since they have the most time, before entering the profession, to implement the bounty of suggestions, guidance, and advice given throughout. Written by two authors with extensive knowledge and experience in the field of illustration, this title is authoritative, thorough, and practical, with a comfortable writing style. Going beyond titles that address only free-lance work, it speaks carefully to other opportunities and options for anyone seeking to become a successful professional illustrator. Meant to inspire as much as to inform and guide, this volume does not focus on techniques or art creation itself, but rather on key information related to marketing and running the business side of the profession. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals; general readers. J. C. Burns Dixie State UniversityThere are no comments on this title.
