Pardon my ignorance, but what would be the difference between

Drawing and painting would probably be fine arts focused, so a lot of fundamentals. figure drawing, still lifes, landscapes.

Illustration would be teaching you things like compositional storytelling, character design, writing.

Both would assume you have fundamentals down already, but drawing and painting would further focus on them, and illustration would attempt to apply them.

also the picture you posted would probably be something done in an illustration class and not a drawing and painting class.

Might just be a difference in medium and format.

Charcoal and oil/aquarel/whatever on large paper or canvas vs ink and aquarel/markers on paper in smaller formats.
