Illustrations, from a traditional perspective, always work as visual explanation of a text but rarely included in a specific category of art. Today, in Chinese reading market, more and more people realized that an illustration is not just an explanation served for a text. They can be presented in a wide range of styles and techniques, and used in various fields and media.
Starting from the idea of ‘Mind Mapping’, we gathered 15 top illustrators from China to showcase their masterpieces, share their creation process, and give insight into how they create imaginative illustrations.
The 15 invited artists are: Hu Rui(Ray), Ouyang Pengjie(OY), Lu Bo, Gui Tu Zi, Bu Lin, Zhao Moran, Zhou Suolan, Fan Yuqin, Fu Chunqiang, Huang Juanxian, Liu Peipei, Liu Xiaoding, Zhang Yun, Feng Zimu, Zhang Liang. Some of them are independent painter, some are art teacher, movie director, or commercial illustrator. Despite working in different positions, they are all well known in China and successful in their respective fields.
Distinguished from the other publications that only introduce some painting techniques with illustration portfolios, this book focuses a lot on a fundamental dimension of painting approaches and the creative dimension of storytelling and composing, trying to analysis the creative thinking of each talented illustrator in details.
With the book, you can know more about how to use visual elements playfully and also logically. Another highlight of the book is that each collaborated illustrator has made his or her own mind map. This is the valuable part for all readers. Everyone can learn illustrations better and easier.

Reviewed by Wang Shouzhi:
From childhood to nowadays, ‘illustration’ always keeps pace with the times to show its visibility, variety, and interestingness. The book Mind Map of Illustration can be seen as a‘ mentor’. 15 talented illustrators from China showcase their artworks with their vivid and impressive visual languages here. It will help everyone well to get closer and get into the world of ‘illustration’.

插畫師越來越吃香，就連設計師也必須具備點插畫功底，才能在基本技能水平相當的條件下脫穎而出，讓別人注意到你。這也是當下非常多人去學習插畫的原因之一。但是，插畫怎麼學呢？
 
插畫的創作除了技法的靈活運用之外，還有一個非常重要的先決條件——在動筆創作前的創意構思。
就是在閱讀文本或者了解客戶需求之後，腦海中構思畫面的思維方式。
好的作品起源於好的創意！可見畫面構思是非常重要的。
 
縱觀目前市場上的插畫類圖書，基本都是繪畫教程或者作品選集為主，讀者很難去了解到成功的插畫師在創作時的創意思維。
而今天要推薦的這本插畫類的書，既不是純粹的技法教程，也不是單一的作品集。
書中的商業或個人創作案例，都附上了詳細的創意概念、構思步驟、創作草圖、細節分析和故事來源等等。
 
《插畫思維導圖》，由國內藝術設計類圖書出版新星——gaatii 光体 策劃、編輯、設計，並聯合國內十五位一線插畫大咖一起出版，
書中匯集了他們的代表作品、創作思維導圖、執行技巧等等。乾貨滿滿！
 
該書最有價值的部分，是將插畫師的創作思維模式以直觀的“思維導圖”形式呈現出來，
並且每一張“思維導圖”都由插畫師本人根據自己的藝術特點獨立創作，充分體現視覺的個性和信息的直觀。
對讀者來說這是非常難得的學習和掌握“從文本思維到視覺思維轉換”的一手資料。
