A great illustrator I know,
Aja Wells, posted a simple yet fantastic diagram about
creating interesting illustrations. A few weeks ago Aja helped me work through some illustration hurdles I was dealing with. She reminded me what the difference is between a pretty picture and an interesting one.

It's far to easy to make a cute dog, but it's all so far too boring. The skill is in making the illustration of that cute dog tell a little bit about himself. Check out Aja's blog for her great diagram and explanation of how a dynamic illustration is different from a boring one.

(Aja, if you're reading this, I was serious about wanting a poster version of your diagram for my "studio" wall! )
