Every illustration project begins with visual direction. This style reference library explores illustration aesthetics across a range of popular subject matter, to help establish a clear creative direction before final artwork begins.
By comparing mood, texture, colour and composition, clients can confidently select a visual language that remains consistent throughout an illustration project.
Comparing multiple artistic directions early helps ensure consistency across an entire illustration project.
This is purely a style reference sheet, not a representation of finished artworks or specific projects.
