A fantastic resource for educators and art instruction enthusiasts.

Reading each carefully crafted syllabus offers fresh approaches to illustration and its many niches, and is just plain inspiring. I made notes to myself to take on some of the instructors' challenges to push my own work.

I did feel some instructors held back, protecting their proprietary writing (and I don't blame them) by including a lack of detail. (i.e. "Homework Week 1" rather than detailing the assignment) Particularly enjoyed the humor and approach to the chapter about illustrating metaphors.

Sort of a missed opportunity on this cover though in terms of illustration and design. Not the best face for this resource -- "illustrat……..tion", the hasty spot illustration in black and white, etc. Surprised the editors didn't want to lead by example.

Inspiring for teachers and learners alike. Sometimes frustrating to not be able to see the actual examples / details only mentioned in lesson plans but i guess sometimes you just have to be there.
