Perhaps the most important tradition of medieval art in regard to the development of picture books is the Poor Man's Bible, which sought to make illustrations of important Biblical events so that they could be understood by the illiterate. Nowadays, modern picture books often aim to aid with children's language development or understanding of the world from the author's perspective.

    Procreate Tutorial: how to draw Frankenstein

    Discover tips to illustrate, step by step, Frankenstein in Procreate for Halloween 2021 with illustrator Rafael Sarmento. The creation of Frankenstein is part of the wide range of classic monsters that exist in the cultural imaginary of horror. Although Mary Shelley's creature has become an icon of popular culture, there are still some aspects about it that continue to confuse people, from mistakenly calling it by the name of its creator (Frankenstein) to illustrating it as green when, in her book, Shelley describes its skin as yellowish and translucent. Illustrator Rafael Sarmento (@rafsarmento) is fascinated by creating fantastic narratives in his illustrations. Stories contained in a single image, where details, characters and environments are the subtle narrators of mythical sagas in distant worlds and times, universes where science fiction and fantasy intermingle in such a way that we can barely differentiate the incredibly advanced technology from the pulsating magic that permeates everything. Over the last decade, he has worked with clients such as Wizards of the Coast, Riot Games, ArtStation, Universal Pictures, DeviantArt, Procreate, ImagineFX, MaxPacks, among many others. Rafael is also cover artist for Dark Horse Comics and DC Comics and sometimes creates his own music.
