Illustration for Inspiration


  The best way to see a painting is to go to the museums, galleries or other place where you can feel the vibrancy of every brush stroke, to see delicate transparency of layers or the lucidity of canvas. The live dialogue between the viewer and the painting can not be recreated by any other means. A digital reproduction is never an accurate representation of the real painting.
  Illustration, being specifcally tailored for mass production, is better suited for viewing on the monitor. I often look at the work of several illustrators for inspiration. It's always nice to discover new artists on the internet.
  Yoshitaka Amano is one of my favorite artists, here are some examples of his gorgeous works:
