I get asked a lot, “How’d you do that?” So I thought I’d post a little show-and-tell for this illustration I made for GOOD’s collaboration with Pictory. Click the images for larger versions.
I start out with a pencil sketch. I try to get this as close as I can to what the final illustration will look like in terms of composition and placement of items.
From there I go into Illustrator and trace the drawing and think about color.
Smaller details are drawn separately.
Next I bring the illustrator objects into photoshop, essentially rebuilding it so textures and shading can be added.
I try to use handmade textures to prevent things from looking too computer-ish. I made this one with spray paint.
See the final illustrations and the many amazing photos that go along with them here.
