what does "illustrating " mean?
Henri Laurens—the taciturn artist whose friends included Braque. Gris. Picasso, and Modigliani (the author of a magnificent portrait of a bearded and long-haired Laurens)—had remained unknown to the world of evening galas. The exceptions in this crowd, however, were two famous collectors who happened to be at the Train bleu premiere: Jacques Doucet and Charles de Noailles (the one owned a "fountain" and the other a "fireplace" by Laurens). The artist had also been known to Raymond Radiguet, whose Pelicans he had just finished illustrating. Fame arrived late for Laurens. Only after World War II did he receive the attention he merited. Ironically, the proud sculptor had long said: "We are all the products of our time and social environment—that is, if we are not plagiarists of the past." ]

as "pelican" is a drama, what does "illustrating "mean?

Answer

right, Les Pelican (1921) is drama, Henri Laurens illustrated a book for his friend Pierre Reverdy.

Answer

Illustration / illustrating is commonly used as a term for drawing occasional pictures, to be inserted into a novel or literary work. Therefore, Raymond wrote a book called 'pelicans' and Laurens drew / painted pictures to be inserted into the book, or perhaps on the cover.
