In this section, we curate a list of some of cool illustration artists. We showcase new talents and famous illustrators from all over the world. These artists have a variety of style, concept and technic such as line, vector, minimal, black & white, fantasy, abstract. Some artists use a computer to create an artwork which is defined as digital illustration. Some others draw with a pen and ink or paint with acrylic, oil, watercolor and pastel. Illustrators explain stories using different subjects like animals, flowers, clothes, nature, characters, geometric shapes etc. You may find here illustrator portfolios including some of their illustrations and a description about their artworks and life. We have published a great collection of illustrations from famous artists. These artworks will inspire who is interested in illustration art. There are many ideas for beginners.

For this project, you will re-create the album art for a favorite album, OR you will create album art for a favorite playlist.

Your album art should communicate the meaning, message, and mood of the album.

Your artwork should showcase excellent craftsmanship, creativity, and clarity of message. You can use any media or imagery to create your artwork.

When you are done, you will ask two people what musical artist or genre they think your album art is for/about (if you were clear with your album art, they should be able to guess at least the genre and/or time period).

And.. as always...

1. Brainstorm/Mindmap. As yourself these questions:

1. What are three adjectives/feelings that come to mind when thinking about or listening to the music? (basically, what is the "mood" of the album)?Examples: Chaos, pain, calm, peace, angst, fear, sadness, love, breakup, etc. How can you evoke those feelings in your artwork?

2. What is the album about?

3. What is the music genre? What is the time period it was made?

4. What imagery, colors, shapes, textures come to mind when listening to the music? Example: Scratchy lines, darkness, smooth textures, bright happy colors, trees, a pool, outer space... it could be anything!

2. Thumbnails

1. Review with peers. Be sure that your composition evokes the album's music, mood, message, etc.

3. Draft

1. Review with peers

4. Final

**Always drawing from resources**

# data[].attributes.body
You will be recreating the album art for a favorite album. You will not be copying :)

You can also create album art for a favorite playlist of your own making (10 extra points for this!).

Known as the "go-to" resource for illustration, the Directory of Illustration is an invaluable tool for searching, referencing, and connecting with the most talented artists in the world.

At the beginning of each year, the Directory creates a gorgeous printed printed book, distributed free of charge to thousands of creatives.

It lands on the desks of those who regularly hire freelance illustrators and animators. And at Creative Boom, we've had a sneak peek before the 36th edition is released. It contains almost five-hundred pages filled with thousands of illustrations from the best commercial artists working today. And this year's compendium features original cover illustrations by Lisa Perrin, with art direction by award-winning designer/illustrator Dave Plunkert of SPUR Design.

It was an impossible task with so much talent on display, but we've picked out 20 of our favourite illustrators - artists both new and established, and who we think will make a significant impact in 2020.

Award-winning Italian artists Alessandro Lecis and Alessandra Panzeri have been the team behind Ale + Ale for more than 20 years. Based in France, they're known for their unusual collages, plucked from children's books to corporate imagery. The duo is represented by Morgan Gaynin.

Gail Armstrong works with paper, creating 3D illustrations of people, animals, buildings, landscapes or even graphs. Her crafted sculptures have appeared in National Geographic and attracted the attention of Rotary Watches, Anchor Butter and Milkybar. And to think her intricate works each begin with a flat piece of paper! We've seen paper become increasingly popular throughout 2019; we expect that trend to continue over the next 12 months, with Gail being one of the leading paper artists. She is represented by IllustrationX.

Iker Ayestaran specialises in digital, gouache and graphic art, and his work is full of texture, soft lines and retro colours. Represented by Shannon Associates, he's often hired by Fortune, The New York Times, Variety, The Washington Post, The Daily Telegraph, and The Economist for his stunning editorial illustrations. Based in Spain, he's won many awards and is recognised as one of the most celebrated illustrators in the world.

Represented by Mendola Artists, Kirsten Ulve is an illustrator and designer from New York City who mixes crisp conceptual design with bold colour and heaps of fun. She specialises in fashion and lifestyle, caricature, toy and game design, and her clients include The New Yorker, Glamour and Volvo.

This talented Norwegian has lived in London since 2000. He has a BA in graphic design and since 2002 has been the political cartoonist for The Times. Alongside this, he produces weekly satirical animations for the newspaper's online and tablet editions.

As politics continues to dominate the global conversation, we can expect to see even more of Morten in 2020. He is represented by Début Art.

An award-winning illustrator and designer, Lisa Perrin also calls herself a collaborator, entrepreneur, educator and general mover and shaker. Represented by Frank Sturges, she graduated in 2013 with an MFA in Illustration Practice from the Maryland Institute College of Art and today works full-time as an illustration professor at MICA. During her spare time, she creates art for clients such as Macy's, Penguin Random House and Anthropologie. One to keep in your sights.

Represented by Folio, Michael Driver is a London-based illustrator whose work is created using both digital and analogue techniques. He crafts gorgeous fictional characters and produces lush textures for clients such as Apple, Deliveroo and The Guardian. Predominantly editorial, his work can also be found in advertising campaigns and publishing.

Based in Toronto, Canada, Sue Todd has literally carved out a niche with her lino-cut technique which she then colours digitally. It's a mixture of two worlds - analogue and digital - to create her colourful illustrations that have won over clients such as Barnes & Noble, The Wall Street Journal and Walmart. There's a heavy influence of medieval woodcuts along with the art of Jim Flora, Frans Masereel, and Jose Francisco Borges.

Figurative illustration is the main dish served up by UK illustrator Richard Beacham, sprinkled with a dash of humour. He's depicted everyone from the Queen and Theresa May to President Trump and Angela Merkel - specialising in editorial artworks for some of the world's leading publications.

The soft sketches, textures and bold colours seem to leap from the screen when you first lay your eyes on Matt Chinworth's illustrations. If you visit his website, you'll notice his name follows a similar style, as though sketched in charcoal with a dash of animation to make it wobble. It's this tactility that draws us to Matt's work. He's recently created illustrations for The New York Times, The New Yorker and The Washington Post.

Mercedes deBellard is an illustrator from Madrid who specialises in portraits. She has something of a hyperrealistic speciality. Yet the people she delicately draws have an indefinably light touch. You'll have spotted her work before, as her clients range from Warner Brothers and Random House to The Sunday Times. She is represented by Folio and one of our favourites for 2020.

Jeremy Booth was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, where he still lives. His love of drawing began at a young age, but it wasn't until his twenties that he pursued graphic design. It was during that time that he discovered digital illustration, and the rest is history. Today, he is represented by Artistique and his work, that centres around light and shadow, is something he calls 'Vector Noir'.

Children's books and whimsical editorial illustrations are the focus of Francesca di Chiara, an illustrator who mainly works with international and Italian publishers such as Fabbri Editori, RCS, Piemme, Einaudi, La Coccinella and Usborne Publishing. Cute and lovable, we think she is one to watch for 2020. Francesca is represented by MIA Milan Illustrations Agency.

Bursting with bright colours and inspired by old printed ephemera, vintage illustration and hand-painted signage, we can't get enough of Ruby Taylor's fun artworks. Represented by Central Illustration Agency, colour plays an important role in her illustrations, which are full of warmth, humour and character. Her clients include Adidas, Harper Collins and Penguin Random House.

Originally from South Korea, Uijung Kim now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She studied Art and Design at Gunsan University in South Korea and Illustration at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.

Inspired by her childhood experiences and the family and friends she grew up with, her work is firmly rooted in Korean culture through colour, tone and narrative. If her artworks make you happy, that will undoubtedly make Uijung happy, too. Another one on the books of Central Illustration Agency.

Aart-Jan Venema uses digital and traditional painting techniques to create his multi-layered and fantastically coloured illustrations, anchored with a keen compositional eye. He loves to fill his artworks with stories and surprising details for all to discover.

The winner of both the Overall Professional and Design awards at the World Illustration Awards 2017, Aart's diverse portfolio has led him to work with clients such as Google and The New Yorker. And his first picture book, Night Windows, received much acclaim. Based in The Hague, Aart is represented by JSR.

Victoria Borges is quite the traveller. Born in Germany, she has lived in many places including Hawaii, Austria, and more recently, Richmond, Virginia. She has a degree in Communication Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University and now works as a designer and freelance illustrator, making work for both home decor and editorial publications.

Represented by Artistique, we love her exploration of various media, from oil painting, watercolour and screen-printing to stop motion, gif-making and digital illustration. Her style is versatile, whimsical and textured - something that we expect to see more of in 2020.

Represented by Rapp Art, James O'Brien is an illustrator and artist whose impressive client list includes American Express, Colgate and Microsoft. With soft colour palettes, plenty of texture and the odd moving image, James creates conceptual and decorative art and design for editorial, commercial and publishing.

Lars Madsen is an award-winning German artist based in Hamburg. He creates illustrations, animations, logos, and custom letterings for clients all over the world. 2019 has been quite his year, as he scooped the Communication Arts 2019 Award of Excellence and was the American Illustration Chosen Winner, too. We expect great things from Lars over the next 12 months.

Based in Antwerp, Fatinha Ramos is an award-winning illustrator and visual artist originally from Portugal. After working in art direction and design for 12 years, she took a giant leap and followed her dream to become an illustrator.

Since then, her work has appeared all over the world, and she has won lots of awards, including one from the World Illustration Awards. We love the way she tears down conventions and avoids the usual clichés, creating poetic and often surreal artworks full of textures and vibrant colours.

Upside down drawing finals.

Please conference with me when you are done drawing your figure and BEFORE you add background or any other media :)

If you finish early, you can work on a logo/sign for NAHS!

# data[].attributes.body
How to Get Started:

1. Research: Screenshot at least 5 linocuts that you like. You can search instagram, tiktok, pinterest, etc. Be sure that the artists name/handle is visible. They do NOT need to be artworks you want to replicate... just art you honestly really like!

2. Resources: Start gathering image resources to create a great drawing. (A great print starts with a great drawing). Put those resources into a Google Doc and email them to me: bookers@nostoschools.org

3. Thumbnails: While drawing from resources, create at least 2 different thumbnail sketches for your idea. Show them to your peers.

4. Draft: Choose your favorite/best to turn into a detailed draft. Be sure your draft is the exact size of the printing block you will be using.

5. Critique: Show your draft to your peers. Give and take feedback. This is your last chance to make important changes.

6. Transfer: We will then transfer the image to your block. We will stain it with India ink, you will mark which areas to carve (with "x" for example), and you will get carving!

** REMINDER that everything prints backwards. If you have lettering, you need to be sure to flip your drawing before you transfer it. I will show you how to do this, do not worry!**

When you feel you're gotten the hang of it, do a few thumbnails of what you want your final to look like! What media? What background?

Let me know when you're ready for final paper!

# data[].attributes.body
Steps:

1. Mind Map: Create your own mind map around your idea

2. Planning: Create at least two thumbnail sketches for each idea. Make sure your compositions are balanced. Share your ideas with your peers! FEED FORWARD!

3. Resources: Have resources out at all times -- your sketches are great but do not count as resources :)

4. Draft: Start experimenting and making a first draft! When you get stuck, ask for help from peers and your teacher!

# data[].attributes.body
1. Get set up for watercolor. Play with the paints for a few minutes.

2. Watch and paint along with "Watercolor Tips and Tricks" on GC.

3. Paint avocado without help.

4. Paint avocado Bob Ross Style with me! Recording is in GC under "Watercolor."

5. Paint from one of the other "Watercolor Image Resources" on GC. There's an apple, beet, peach, etc.

6. PLEASE repeat step 4 if you're asked to or want more practice. We should focus on color matching (I'll show you a great trick with an index card!)

Once you're completed with all four of the above, you can start working on a watercolor painting of your own choice! Still, I recommend fruit, veggies, flowers, food, candy, desserts, etc (things from the natural world).

# data[].attributes.body
You *must* use resources when you're drawing. They can be the ones I provide or YOUR OWN!

You should focus on detail. If you are "done" drawing before the end of the allotted time, please add texture, background, clothes, scales, feathers, etc.

After you receive your exquisite corpse back, you can edit it to your liking. You may also choose to transfer it to final paper if you'd like :)

A general rule is: A compliment AND suggestion :) Here are some things you can give compliments and suggestions on:

1. Composition: Are the objects in the picture plane balanced with each other? Is there a focal point? Does the character make sense in its setting? Can you tell which compositional strategy the artist is using?
2. Negative/Positive Space:  Is there too much/not enough negative (empty) space? Is there a good balance? What can you suggest that the artist do to address the empty/negative space?
3. Accuracy: Is the drawing accurate? Are there any obvious flaws that the artist shoudl address? What do you notice that should be fixed? Give them a suggestion.
4. Craftsmanship: Is the artwork neat? Does it need to be cleaned up? Give a suggestion for where/how they can "clean up" their work.
5. Values: Are there a range of values (darks and lights or color blends) or could the artist use more dark darks and light lights or more blends? Let the artist know.
5. Color: Does the artist use color well? How could s/he improve? Give a suggestion.
6. Meaning: Can you infer the meaning or story of the piece from the images or is something getting lost? Does the artist need to clarify their message? How can s/he do that?
7. Other Perspective: If you (the critiquer) were to create this piece, what would you do?
