Digital Illustrations

Illustration• The origins of illustration began with decorative

manuscripts as early as the tenth century. Most of these works were painted in watercolor and commissioned by the church. After the invention of the printing press, publishers were able to include an illustration on the same plate as the text. From the sixteenth century on, the image and the text were printed separately, allowing for the illustration to stand alone. As technology progressed, engravings were put onto metal. Images of realistic portraits, geographical maps, and scientific images were popular during the nineteenth century. Some of these methods, such as dry point, etching, and aquatint, continue to be used today.

• • Major movements in illustration include satirical

illustrations of the eighteenth century, narrative illustration of the nineteenth century, humorous realism of the Victorian age, post-war mass communication trends, pop art and consumer culture movements, and finally the digital revolution of today.

Illustrator Terms

Pen Tool: draws a path by plotting an anchor point. Anchor points connect until you complete the shape. You will see a circle next to the pen tool when you are completing a shape.

Path: a vector line or shape. It does not have pixel information. It can be transformed with out losing quality. You must apply color to it or outline it or else it is invisible. This is your drawing.

Anchor Point: the starting point of a path, the structure of the path.

Selection Tool: black cursor- selects the entire path. Allows you to move it, scale it, rotate it, copy and paste it.

Direct Path Selection Tool : white cursor- selects the individual anchor point, allow you to stretch it and move it to smooth out the path line.
