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.

Product Description
Review
So with the launch of new book, Hand to Eye, it's refreshing to see real illustrators taking pen to paper rather than mouse to mousepad. And Hand to Eye, features a whole bunch of contemporary illustrators that were, have been, and always will be, hell bent on their art form without that pixelated touch - artists who never sent a thank you note yo Adobe. ... Hand to Eye is proof that while it's possible to turn everything into a series of O's and 1's, the real talent lies with the human touch. -- Dazed & Confused
