noun
a picture or a drawing, often used to explain something or to decorate books, magazines etc.
Illustrations have been a crucial part of my life. Without my passion to draw I wouldn’t have studied Graphic Design and therefore might have chosen a completely different career.
Like most people I began with conventional tools like pencils and crayons, but when I started studying I discovered digital painting tools as a great addition to traditional art.
After a few years I also started to recognize vectors as powerful instruments to create not just logos but illustrations, too.
