After a busy summer at Illusion, we have packed this issue with ideas to inspire.

Cover artist Sean Avram talks about his obsession with dragons and shares with Illusion specially created dragon designs as well as two stunning step-by-steps. Not only did Sean create an original front cover but a first for Illusion, he is also the back cover artist too.

Brady Neher shares his love for painting on dolls as well as humans! Causing shudders of horror from the Illusion team, this feature is a must for die-hard fantasy artists.

Nick Wolfe talks about his need for originality and his designs will certainly make you laugh.

Fans of one stroke painting will love to read about Claire Howkins and her journey into one stroke painting. This new approach is challenging more traditional face painting techniques.

Pashur back from his workshop on the waves cruise tells Illusion his love for face painting and shares inspirational designs for us all to try.

It wouldn’t be Illusion without plenty of step-by-steps and this issue includes 12 designs for you to add to your repertoire.

There is also a round up of reviews too!
