A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The creativity never stops with Il-LIST-ration! Il-LIST-ration is a remarkable and unique book featuring 75 ludicrous lists to help artists, doodlers, and sketchers with daily inspiration! Inside, you'll find 25 complete illustrated lists, 25 partial lists, and 25 blank lists to help guide you through a world full of illustration ideas and motivation. Each list has a distinct theme or fantastical topic. What world would you create using Modes of Miniature Transportation? Could you doodle out dozens of Drinks for Dragons? And how would you create your Recipes for Disaster? These themes include lines for twelve descriptive names, and plenty of space for your accompanying illustrations. The first 25 lists in Il-LIST-ration have been completed by artist Jaime Zollar and many of her accomplished illustrator friends to demonstrate the general technique. With art contributed by: John Hendrix, Calef Brown, Julia Rothman, Meg Hunt, Brian Rea, Whitney Sherman, Mikey Burton, Julianna Brion, Roman Muradov, Aya Kakeda, and Wilson Swain. The next 25 lists are partially completed offering readers an entry-level invitation to engage with the technique and interact with different styles. The final 25 lists are blank encouraging you to fill the space with your own visions. There are endless possibilities! Return to lists later to provide a different take on each theme, or join friends to create new lists! Contributing Artists Include: John Hendrix Calef Brown Julia Rothman Meg Hunt Brian Rea Whitney Sherman Mikey Burton Julianna Brion Roman Muradov Aya Kakeda Wilson Swain
