Illustrations generally come from graduates of any department of the Academy of Fine Arts, but many real illustrators have never been to the Academy of Fine Arts, and many of them graduated from animation or comics.

Illustration majors will learn that illustration is a course that uses patterns to express images. In line with the principle of unity of beauty and practicality, try to make lines and shapes clear and lively, and make them convenient. In the field of modern design, illustration design can be said to be the most expressive, which is closely related to painting art. Many expressions of illustration art are borrowed from painting art, but illustration has made great progress in stimulating the diversity of expression forms and in the depth and breadth of design theme expression. Illustration course mainly studies PS, AI and other software, as well as basic hand-drawing and board drawing.
