Are you drawing or illustrating? This
is a right question to begin with, in order to
get familiar with the course.
For example, with this output, can you guess which type it falls into?
That’s a drawing.
It doesn’t make an illustration (yet).
Page 10 of
ADM Module in TLE ICT Illustration
Now, the next interesting question is "Can you become an illustrator
even though you have no drawing skills at present? "
Having such skill definitely helps. Your hand-drawing skills
is essential in every illustrative work you will take on. You just need to
practice, practice, practice!
However, techniques for creating illustrations changed over time. In
the old days, artists relied on paper, paints, pencils, but with the digital
era advancement, even artists comfortable to traditional mediums and
materials started working digitally with the help of software such as
Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Freehand, for example.
So you can take a deep breath if you are not exactly an expect
drawer. If pen and paper fail you, a computer or tablet may be your
savior. You can apply your creative vision just as successfully with
design software.
Actually, there is no shortage of careers in illustration. Let us explore
the numerous roles that exist within the wider illustration industry.

What’s New
Can you guess the tools and equipment used in the given
illustration? Pencil? Watercolors? Brush? Do you think the illustrator
used a computer in doing this artwork?
Majority of us began drawing and illustrating when we were young.
Back then, tools and equipment were not that big deal. Having a pencil
and paper was enough. But as we grew and started to get serious about
“artwork”, we desire to have the very best materials, tools and
equipment possible.
As an illustrator you can have all the talent in the world, but you
still must have a better understanding and skills of the tools and
equipment you are using.
What is It
A. TOOLS IN ILLUSTRATION
A tool is any instrument or object that you hold in your hands and
use to do a particular kind of work. There are a numerous variety of tools
used in Illustration.
The tools discussed in this module include most of the basic ones
but necessary enough for your understanding about making illustrations.
Page 22 of
ADM Module in TLE ICT Illustration
1. PENCIL - is a tool used for writing or drawing.
The traditionally known as 'lead pencils' are graphite
pencils. To differentiate harder and softer pencils,
manufacturers rank pencils on a grading scale. There
are two grading systems for pencils - US and European.
The US system is numerical and goes from 1 to 4, while
the European system uses the letters "H" and "B" to note how hard or
soft a pencil is.
A good thing to remember: A “B” grade means will make a bolder
and darker line (blackness of the pencil’s mark, indicating a softer lead).
An “H” grade means will make a lighter, finer line. (the harder the writing
core, the lighter the mark left on the paper)
Usually, an HB grade about the middle of the scale is considered to
be equivalent to a #2 pencil using the U.S. numbering system.
2. BRUSH - is a brush used to apply paint or
sometimes ink. They come in different sizes, shapes,
and materials. Thicker ones are used for filling in
while thinner ones are used for details.
3. UNI PIN - is a fine line drawing pen that has
various tip sizes and colors including black, sepia,
grey, red and blue.
4. ERASER - is a piece of rubber or other
material used to remove markings made by ink or
pencil.
5. INDIA INK - is a popular black ink used for
drawing and writing. is primarily used with ink-drawing
pens, or for calligraphy work.
6. WATER COLORS - type of paint that can be
mixed with water to create bright layers of color on
paper.
7. ACRYLIC or OIL PAINT - painting mediums
like watercolors. Oil paint is said to be "oil-based",
whereas acrylic paint is "water-based” and dries faster.
8. CRAY-PAS - is a drawing stick. Unlike oil paints
and watercolors, it is dry to the touch. There is no
mixing required.

two equal sides meeting at a 90-degree angle and to a third side at 45,
