I have always been fascinated by very brief sketches, caricatures, that with just a few seemingly rough strokes, lines, dots and curves, illustrates all sorts of things and objects, especially people which, despite the lacking of minute details, you can recognise them instantly.
A newly published book called 'Illustrations now! Portraits.' united 150 portraits of well known faces of present day celebrities in different professions: entertainment, politics, fashion, photography, singers, dancers, models, actors and directors ... All by famous contemporary illustrators and artists of the international panorama, and in a wide variety of techniques and styles, from realism to caricature and cartoon. They depict the personality of them with the minimum detail but all the essentials, also the body language and their physical presence.
It's definitely the book for many to enjoy and keep.
