General illustrations are used in educational, commercial, government, literary, gaming and media publications. They use a variety of narrative, informative, decorative or conceptual approaches.
These types of illustrations can be created in different media, including lead or coloured pencil, inks, paints, chalks, pastels, collage or mixed media. They can also be produced using computer programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or 3D Studio Max. The style can also vary enormously, from rough sketches to 3D rendered graphics.
