Illustration is a wide ranging field that offers many
opportunities for employment. Digital Illustration can encompass
traditionally created works that are scanned or otherwise imported
into a computer and saved in appropriate formats for many possible
uses. Of course, it also includes works that are created entirely or
partially with digital tools. Many fields have a need for
illustration work including: finance, health, biotech, marketing,
advertising, science, cartography (map making), daily newspapers and
periodicals, book publishers, comics and animation, game design,
packaging, logo design, to name a few.
