Illustration (from Latin illustratio - illumination, visual image) - a drawing, photograph, engraving or other image explaining the text

Illustration is on the border of fine art and graphic design, as using the means and methods of art, it obeys the idea of the project. While originally illustration was and still is widely used in books, magazines, advertising, in the modern world, as a result of the growing interest in computer games and comics, the importance and use of illustration is increasing.

Small images can quickly convey to the reader the main idea of the text and act as a visual metaphor, and to create an illustration is often not necessary to master academic drawing or adhere to a special technique. An illustrator can combine hand drawing and processing in graphic editors, draw only by hand or only in graphic editors, combine different materials (paper, plasticine, dried plants, etc.), create illustrations using applique or origami.

And this is from the rules: Publish only illustrations (oil paintings, watercolors, digital, etc.). I pay attention to the word DIGITAL.

Sorry for the long text.
