Line 3:
There are three ways this can work. First, the illustrations may accurately follow the text. Second, the illustrations may include prominent details that don't contradict the text, but also aren't mentioned. Third, the illustrations may [[Unreliable Illustrator|outright contradict the textual descriptions.]]

* [[Sherlock Holmes]] and his deerstalker hat, added by ''Strand'' artist Sidney Paget (but only when Holmes was in the countryside).
* In the [[Magic School Bus]] books, the text and illustrations complement each other, with the illustrations and dialogue frequently including details the text leaves out. For example, the text of most of the books doesn't mention any of the children's names, but they are all worked into the dialogue.
Line 24:
* Snape is never described as having a beard in ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'', but the goatee Mary Grandpre gave him became [[Fanon]]. However, it's been largely superseded by [[Alan Rickman]]'s portrayal of him in the movies.
** Before the films, a lot of ''Harry Potter'' merchandise seemed to copy the look of Mary Grandpre's illustrations, including kind-of-sort-of keeping her "soft geometry" art style.

* [[Heidi]] is described as having short, black, curly hair.
* W.W. Denslow's illustrations for ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]'' show a dark-haired Dorothy, while John R. Neill's later illustrations showed Dorothy as a blonde. In a case of [[First Installment Wins]], the [[The Wizard of Oz (film)|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film]] followed the Denslow illustrations, and [[Adaptation Displacement]] did the rest.
* The original illustrations from [[Conan the Barbarian]]'s magazine serialization depict him as the now-stereotypical [[Loin Cloth]]-clad brute, but in the actual text what Conan felt to be one of the advantages of his stature was the ability to wear very heavy armor (usually chainmail over leather) while remaining agile and unencumbered.
* [[The Dark Tower]] books... in some of them, Jake is described as having blonde hair, but in one illustration has black hair.
* The Pauline Baynes illustrations of ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]''. She contradicted Lucy's [[Hair of Gold]], but people still believed in her chosen colors for the rest of the (never-described) kids enough to complain about the [[Adaptation Dye Job]] when the recent movies gave Peter blond hair and Edmund brown/black hair, the reverse of how she drew them.
