How to define Illustration style?

The illustration is a visual, graphic or pictorial representation, used to accentuate, improve, detail or extend a text or a musical / audiovisual composition (press article, comic strip, film poster, etc.). It can take several different forms: drawing, engraving, print, lithography, illumination, collage ... From sketches in watercolor on a board to the graphic work produced via software, the possibilities of expression of the illustrator, the engraver or the graphic designer are endless, the only limit being his imagination. The most famous illustrators are Gustave Doré, Alexis Lemaistre, Robert Falcucci, or even Mario Ramos.
