It wasn't easy to do, but I had fun.
I understand that lots of people are obsessed with the Japanese manga/anime style these days... for some reason.
Oh well.
I think achieving the proper balance in realistic illustration is best. If an illustration gets too realistic, it too closely mimics a photograph, and then there's little point. It becomes merely a stunt without viewpoint or expression. That's fine if your objective is simply to deceive the viewer by proving you can simulate photography. Before the invention of the camera, this was indeed a great feat. But now? Just take a photograph. lol
As far as color, there are times when black and white is preferable, just as it can be in cinema. Color can distract from the details and nuances of a well-rendered illustration, diminishing certain effects the artist originally intended. My Star Trek cover illustrations were done with this in mind, never relying on color to uplift or rescue the design or composition. In fact, I was most often disappointed by the color application in the final publication.
