Children's Book Illustration & Design II

Rating:
Summary: Useful resource for the budding illustrator...
Review: As my fellow reviewer mentioned, the title of this book is a bit misleading (albeit unintentionally misleading). However, the book can still be an invaluable resource for those interested in woking in the picture book field.

While not a guidebook or "how to" manual, "Children's Book Illustration & Design II" does give an informative overview of various styles established illustrators have used with their children's book projects. As such, the book can be a useful tool for the novice commercial/picture book illustrator who may need inspiration when faced with a particular assignment.

Like a set of picture files on various topics, books such as this one are very handy to have in the artist's studio.

Summary: this title is misleading.....
Review: The book should be called "Conversations with Childrens Book Illustrators" I was expecting a book that gave information on the process of creating childrens book illustration, some tips for beginners,painting technique how-to's, etc.Well, you won't find it in here....if that is what YOU are looking for, buy "Writing with Pictures" by Shulivitz.
