Digital illustration is a form of visual art that uses electronic devices and software to create images. This method allows artists to produce detailed, vibrant artwork, often used in children's books to engage young readers with colorful and imaginative visuals. With the rise of tablet and graphic design software, digital illustrations can be easily manipulated and refined, making them an essential medium in modern children's publishing. Illustrators can work with layers, textures, and a wide variety of colors that traditional mediums may not offer.
