The thesis covers the description of the drawing process at each stage, and all basic elements for creating book illustration are discussed. This thesis employs a practice-based approach as it consists of theoretical part that covers the process of illustration and its fundamental elements. The second part is a practical one that showcases the own creative process of the author and explains its different stages.
As a final result a cover design of the book and illustrations for the poems chosen by the author were created. During the working process the author’s drawing technique and skills were developed and improved.
