Story Telling:- Illustration has long been an integral part of the process of storytelling. Today, narrative fictional illustration is mainly found in children’s books, graphic novels and comic strips, along with thematic compilations and, increasingly, animations. Telling stories with or through illustration involves thought about sequencing, characterisation, atmosphere and pace. The illustrator also needs to understand the subtleties of the relationship between words and pictures and the expectations of genres in terms of style and appearance. Making up a story demands imagination and creativity, which is why much innovative and exciting illustration appears in fictional narratives.
