How do you find an illustrator to create a piece of artwork? At present, there are a number of methods: Looking through myriad agents' promotional books; browsing annual competition collections; trying to find that pile of unsolicited illustrators' cards you just had on your desk the other day; searching the Web-for a few hours; asking a colleague. All of these methods can work, but they're all time-consuming and haphazard. What if you need someone to draw salad on a plate with a glass of wine next to it? You could go through the above processes, and - after a while - you'd probably find someone to draw or paint it in the style you wanted.Or you could simply pick up Big Book of Illustration Ideas 2 , flip to the section marked Food and Still Life, and find pages and pages of illustrators who can draw all kinds of food in all kinds of styles: pencil, crayon, watercolour, collage, and so on, and so on. It's a smorgasbord of illustration ideas. In fact, within these pages are the best illustrators from all over the world, found together in one place along with all their contact information.
