Colin King is an illustrator of children's picture and information books, particularly visual explanations of science, technology and the human body. His work includes Usborne titles such as See Inside Science, See Inside Your Body, See Inside Trains and How Things Work, where cutaways, labelled scenes and comic details help explain what is happening inside machines or beneath the surface. He has illustrated more than sixty children's titles for publishers including Usborne, Ladybird and Macmillan, often working on books where the pictures need to carry factual information as well as hold a child's attention. King's drawings are detailed, clear and often lightly humorous, rewarding close looking rather than serving as simple decoration around the text. Readers are most likely to encounter his work in illustrated children's reference and science books, where diagrams, cutaways and busy explanatory scenes make subjects such as bodies, trains, ships and machines understandable through looking as well as reading.
