Those guys Foster, Starr made each panel of their strips a very involved situation that could stand on its own as a single illustration. The comic book artists of today are even more blending illustration and cartooning.
Some elements of style or specific tools of visual language may differ from one artist to another - or one type of commercial art vehicle to another - but ultimately, all artists doing work for commercial purposes are illustrating something. To my way of thinking, that makes them us all illustrators. I'll close off this series of posts with a few more remarks from Tom Sawyer who was, during his years as a commercial artist, a member of both the National Cartoonists Society and the Society of Illustrators.
Tom offers his always candid, entertaining observations about the two groups. I find that boggling. I never imagined nor experienced such pretentiousness nor "attitude. I was at the bar with Leonard Starr, and the club was having a show of Jon Whitcomb 's work. A couple of older members were beside us, making smartass remarks about Whitcomb, putting his illustrations down. As they wandered off, Teddy, the club's wonderful bartender, confided, as he cleared away their glasses: "I hear a lotta members make fun of Mr.

Illustration also allows you to tell a story, but the main difference between these two include the work environment and work itself. A cartoon is a type of illustration, sometimes animated, typically in a non-realistic or semi-realistic style.
Someone who creates cartoons in the first sense is called a cartoonist, and in the second sense they are usually called an animator. Cartoonists draw pictures that are usually meant to be humorous and may have a message behind them, typically stated in a single frame. Comic artists draw pictures too, but they use multiple frames, such as in a comic strip, comic book or graphic novel, to tell a story.
The jobs of cartoonist and comic artist are similar, so there is a great deal of overlap in their job descriptions. Both cartoonists and comic artists draw pictures to convey ideas. According to the Art Career Project , many artists still draw in the traditional way using paper and ink. They may scan their work into a computer, where they can edit and add color to their work.
Other cartoonists use technology exclusively, employing drawing software such as those recommended by Drawing Coach.
