Like the cartoonist, an illustrator is asked to create visual representations that can be developed using different techniques.
The illustration can be in the form of a drawing, a painting, a montage.
It's typically used in publishing to describe or match a written text, but it can also be decorative or used in advertising as a basis for storyboards for movies and animations.
Today, the illustrator can engage in different activities: children's books, essays, education, concept art for movies or video games, advertising and editorial illustration.
