What is good illustration?
Will it stick in your head?
Emotional response?
Makes you want to look at it more?
I think two pieces of illustration that answer all these questions are Vania Zouravliov's Baby Yaga and George Butler's work.
These pieces are stylistically very different, the first one has so much detail. It's really an impressive drawing, I love the texture and patterns that are included. It brings the story of the Baby Yaga alive and really helps to visually communicate it.
Then Butler's style and drawings are so different because of the lack of detail and lines. He doesn't include everything he possibly could when he's drawing the areas he's in which works well because it doesn't over power the image. He's a reporter for war zones and quickly has to sketch out scenes and i think this style works very well.
These images are appropriate for the context and personally I want to look at more so I think these are very good pieces of illustration.
