For many designers and visual creatives, illustration is the gateway through which they begin their pursuit to become creative professionals. As children, we were enthralled by the images in our books, inspired by the cartoons we watched, and spurred on by the thought of filling a blank page with our imaginations. Personally, my admiration for illustrators started at a very young age.
Like many of you, I collected comic books, traced and studied my favorite Disney and Loony Toons characters, and doodled incessantly in the margins of my school notebooks. To this day, I still draw in my notebooks and create visual narratives just for fun. Illustration nowadays is a very exciting as new techniques and styles are being explored everyday.
With that in mind, we decided to look for some the best illustration websites to keep you inspired and motivated.
