More about black and white illustration

In a world where we are often dazzled by colourful communications, sometimes it’s nice to get back to basics. That’s when black and white illustration is very effective. It’s a way of capturing an idea clearly and succinctly, getting straight to the point. No dazzle. No confusion. That’s not to say black and white illustration can’t convey a tone or feeling. Some black and white illustrators create highly rendered monochrome images using the finest sketching, hatching and shading techniques. Etching-style artworks are another popular branch of black and white illustration – full of charm, with a traditional feel.
