34. Sports Illustration

Sports illustration is an exciting field of art that spans editorial, publishing, licensing (posters, prints, etc.), and the fine art gallery circuit. Those who love sports, or one particular sport, can focus their career on the creation of images that reflect their love of the people, actions, and settings of those events. There are specialties within this market such as artists who produce landscapes of golf courses, cartoon/comical sports art, fitness and exercise instructional drawings, and illustrated biographical images of sport stars and historical moments.
