Traditional illustration

Traditional illustration refers to creating visual images using manual methods before digital tools became common. It involves techniques like drawing with pencils, inks, watercolors, or paints on physical surfaces such as paper or canvas. Artists carefully plan and execute each part of the image by hand, focusing on craftsmanship and attention to detail. These illustrations are often used in books, advertisements, and art projects, valued for their tactile feel and unique character. Traditional illustration requires skill, patience, and an understanding of composition, color, and media to produce compelling images without relying on digital technology.
