A Collection of Works & Making-of by Popular Illustrator Hiromi Matsuo!

Derived from the illustration yearbook ILLUSTRATION 2016, the ILLUSTRATION MAKING & VISUAL BOOK series shines a spotlight on leading artists. The third volume features the much-loved illustrator Hiromi Matsuo.

Her retro-modern aesthetic brings to life elegant women and lavish ornamentation. In addition to creating illustrations for numerous books, her first commercial volume, published in January 2016, has already gone through multiple reprints – marking her as one of today’s most talked-about illustrators.

This book not only showcases a carefully curated selection of her works but also includes step-by-step features on two newly created illustrations, an in-depth interview, and rough sketches – all condensed into a single volume. It is a must-have not only for fans, but also for anyone who wishes to uncover the secrets of a popular illustrator and improve their own drawing skills.
