Precedent Studies : Digital Illustration

Digital Illustration Definition

Computer illustration or digital illustration is the use of digital tools to produce images under the direct manipulation of the artist, usually through a pointing device such as a tablet or a mouse. It is distinguished from computer-generated art, which is produced by a computer using mathematical models created by the artist. It is also distinct from digital manipulation of photographs, in that it is an original construction "from scratch". (Photographic elements may be incorporated into such works, but they are not the primary basis or source for them.)


Digital Illustration Artist

Yuko Shimizu

A freelance illustrator. Yuko Shimizu (not to be confused with another artist of the same name who designed Hello Kitty) creates illustrations that are utterly modern, yet undeniably colored by her experiences growing up in an old-fashioned Japanese family. Somehow simultaneously delicate and bold, the New York-based artist’s work has appeared in magazines like Mother Jones and ad campaigns for Microsoft, Pepsi and The Gap.
