Illustration is a field that is overflowing with imagination. From the various styles and mediums that illustrators have at their disposal, imagination seems to be about the only limit to their work. One area in particular that never seems to be lacking in imagination is the Japanese styles commonly known as manga and anime.
While typically meaning forms of comics and animation, these terms have become somewhat encompassing for particular styles of art. And in both genres, the character work and often exciting, vibrant pieces are ones that do more than just reflect imagination, they exude it. So take a tour of this showcase we’ve prepared for you of manga and anime illustration to get inspired.
