The teaching of fine arts, particularly illustration drawing for eighth-grade students at SMPN 03 Lawang, highlights the necessity for developing innovative media integrated with more interactive teaching methods. This need arises due to indications of students' limited comprehension of the subject matter. This research focuses on developing an e-module combined with a game-based learning approach to optimize the learning process of illustration drawing. This research aims to assess the need for enhancing students' understanding of illustration drawing concepts, describe the outcomes of developing an e-module integrated with game-based learning, and evaluate its effectiveness, validity, and feasibility. The method used in this study is the research & development method with the Four-D model. This research approach combines qualitative and quantitative methods with trial subjects involving teachers, students, and experts.
