Story Elements Illustrator

The illustrator makes the pictures in a book.

An illustrator can paint, draw, take photographs, or other artistic processes to make pictures for books.

Pictures and books are sometimes as important as the stories. The way the pictures are made can represent the illustrator’s feelings, thoughts, and ideas about the words on the page.

Some illustrators can be the author also. This means that they write the words and make the pictures for the story.

Eric Carle is the author and illustrator of many books. The Very Hungry Caterpillar The Very Clumsy Click Beetle The Mixed Up Chameleon The Very Quiet Cricket The Very Lonely Firefly The Grouchy Ladybug The Very Busy Spider The Tiny Seed Pancakes And many others

In some books, Eric Carle is only the illustrator. Brown Bear, What do you See? Polar Bear, What do you Hear? Panda Bear, What do See? Baby Bear, What do you See? Why Noah chose the Dove And many others

Eric Carle likes to illustrate animals and insects.

Eric Carle’s pictures look different than other people’s because he paints on tissue paper with acrylic. Then he cuts them out and glues the pieces together to make his animal characters.
