What is Illustration? Part 2: Aesthetic

Here are five illustrators I feel have a cool aesthetic quality to their work:

Chris Samnee
Chris Samnee is a comic book illustrator whose work I love. He draws comics with strong bold lines and classic comic quality to them. He currently draws Daredevil, which is largely the reason its my favourite comic book at the moment.









Jack Teagle
Teagle's work stands out to me because of how basic it is. He doesn't work with intricate illustrations, however he makes very sound compositional pieces.







Kristyna Baczinski
I love Kristyna's style. Her work has such a fluid, yet static feel to it. She also has a great understanding of colour which is something I really need to get my head around








Skottie Young
Young is well known by comic enthusiasts for creating variety covers of Marvel comics however he also illustrates children's books. He has a zany drawing skill and over exaggerates his characters to the extreme.







Bryan Lee O'Malley
Perhaps best known for the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels, what I like about O'Malley is his ability to infuse asian influences into a western culture. His line work is broad and powerful and with the Scott Pilgrim Novels he stayed away from colour only using black, white, grey and halftone.
