STORYTELLING IS AN ESSENTIAL SKILL FOR ALL ILLUSTRATORS. WHETHER YOU’RE PLANNING A CHILDREN’S BOOK, OR AN EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATION FOR A MAJOR PUBLICATION, YOU’LL NEED TO TELL A STORY.
Fine arts professionals know the importance of storytelling in their art, but how do you achieve the fine balance between too much and too little? Let’s talk about the basics behind visual storytelling and how it can infuse your work with context and importance.
