Favourite book illustrations

There are a lot of great illustrators and a lot of great book illustrations! I really like Ernest Howard Shepard and his Winnie the Pooh illustrations, I like how simple they are!

Also The little prince illustration by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry!

The Hobbits is a definite win, and it’s an irreplacable favourite. The main thing is because how detail the artwork is. It looks, surreal despites being B&W.

The Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark trilogy. Want to see some?

I remember reading “The Dot” as a kid and even tho they’re simplistic I still remember the illustrations in that book :joy:

My cousin drew that flamingo drawing, then it was put into the book. I’m related to Denise Brunkus, the illustrator for the Junie B Jones books. I think she married my cousin.

I don’t think I have any favourite book illustrations, but maybe the @Artists do?

When I was little, we used to read a book called Leonardo’s dream where this little pinguin sees a albatross fly over his head and wants to fly as well, and the illustration were amazing.

Goldilocks and the three bears, that book had some really nice illustrations as I read along with it watching the amazing art in it.
There was an art for every scene.
