A sequel to the highly successful Pen & Mouse, Hand to Eye features forty-five illustrators from around the world. Including both commissioned artwork and experimental projects, the work collected here shows that cutting-edge computer illustration is still thriving and continues to push boundaries. In the last two years, however, there has been a noticeable move towards a handcrafted style, perhaps a logical reaction to the torrent of digital imagery. More and more image-makers are turning to traditional tools and techniques, and their methods vary widely: some work solely with pen, pencil and paint; others create images using tapestry and embroidery, and many incorporate digital elements into handmade art. Hand to Eye reflects these diverse approaches to image-making, from the cleanness of slick, vector-based work, through photorealism, to a lo-fi, handcrafted aesthetic; from exquisitely detailed, brightly coloured collages to simple, single-colour sketches.

Bought this book to spark some inspiration... Didn't do the trick for me personally; although all I've read about it is rave reviews. It's just a collection of so called 'contemporary' designs. The illustrative quality is poor. Seems to me that contemporary art or design doesn't require the artist to be particularly good at drawing or adapt at traditional art. Give someone a computer, some software, and hey presto. I'm totally in the minority here, cos as I said; there only seems to be positive reviews on this book...
