I work with a lot of illustrators, and I've noticed that feedback for illustrators has some unique considerations. Illustration sits at this intersection of fine art and commercial art, and the feedback needs to address both the artistic and functional aspects.
Unlike some other visual arts, illustration often has to communicate specific ideas or narratives. So feedback for illustrators needs to consider not just technical skill and style, but also clarity of communication.
What specific approaches work best for feedback for illustrators? How do you balance feedback about artistic style with feedback about communicative effectiveness?
