Secrets of Digital Illustration

by Lawrence Zeegen

Illustration is a subject in high demand. Professional designers, illustrators and students are all looking for a well-researched, informative, well-presented and practical guide to this area of design, and Secrets of Digital Illustration provides all of this and more.

New research shows that with only 41% of designers having a university degree the majority are now teaching themselves, and such a book will prove essential to the learning process. Continuing on from the highly successful Digital Illustration, which sold 5000 copies within 3 months, the book further develops the themes within this area. It makes a feature of work from countries with emerging graphic design industries, such as China, Singapore and India, exploring the differences between cultures.

Using the same step-by-step tutorials format as the previous book in the series, this time it expands upon this to include working sketches and thumbnails which provide greater depth. Each chapter includes a brief introduction to the subject area, leading onto portfolios of leading image-makers, and concludes with a step-by-step tutorial. All of this makes the book a succinct, informative and highly enjoyable exploration of this popular area.
