Illustration

The aim of illustration is to generate expressive images that effectively convey certain information via the visual channel to the human observer. Additionally, illustrators and visual artists in general create images that follow principles of visual harmony such as color combinations, scene composition, contrast, dynamics or other aesthetical aspects.

You have to make thousands and thousands of drawings before an illustration is perfected.

Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium through the use of a set of signs or symbols (known as a writing system). It is distinguished from illustration, such as cave drawing and painting, and the recording of language via a non-textual medium such as magnetic tape audio.
