After I pick the elements that will be part of the final illustration, and develop an initialgraphic style, I start the rough that will be used as a direct reference for the vector. In thisstep I like to use a lot of details to simulate strokes and vector gradients. Lots of peopleditch this part and go straight to the computer, but I personally prefer to create first in the

paper. No only I feel more creative, its also a pretty good excuse to leave the computer for a change.

After I finish the rough, its time to scan it. (0r take a picture of it, if the paper its too big for your scanner). Then, I place the jpg file into a vectorial illustration software. My favoritesoftware is illustrator, but feel free to use the one you like the most. Right now I only careabout making the strokes and outlines, leaving the colors and filling for later. I recommendusing a color that contrast with your sketch, to help you visualize it. In this case i chose ared stroke.

I like Illustrator because it offers you a ton of cool resources to help your vectorizingprocess. A solution that I often use is called Pattern Brush. Instead of drawing a wholeflower, for example, you can make just one petal, turn that petal into a patten brush,create a shape with that outline, and achieve fun results! This tip is specially useful toillustrators that prefers abstract compositions, like me.

After I finally finish the whole vector madness, I spend a little while organizing the file,putting the objects into the right order. All this to help the next step, that I consider to bethe hardest part

The moment to chose the colors and paint the illustration is the hardest and longest partto me. In this project I was inspired by the italy flag colors, mixed with the vibrant colorsof the brazilian flag, all this with a vintage look and feel. In this step I also develop some

gradients and chose the textures that Ill use later. My tip is to take a look at the patternsfrom illustrator, hidden inside Swatches Patterns Basic Graphics.

A great site to search for color inspiration is colourlovers.com. There you can searchbetween endless palettes developed by their creative users. After I chose my color palette, I find really usefull to create a new color group with the chosen tones.

Sneak peek of the coloring process.

Choosing a font to use in the illustration is really fun! I love to test lots of combinationsand to hunt for new fonts. The problem is that I get *too* excited in this step, andsometimes I download 30 fonts, and later I simply cant decide which one to use. For thisillustration I imagined a strong, bold and modern font, making a visual contrast with ascript font.

When you are going to use the same shape over and over again, a good tip is to use thesymbol tool. You make a motion clip, and spread the object in your comp, according toyour preset. With the tools options you can increase or decrease the symbol, change itsopacity, position, etc. This way you dont have to duplicate and reposition the objectmanually.

After I fill al my shapes with my chosen colors, I like to refine the composition withgradients and textures. Some illustrations look better with solid colors, but in this case Idecided to use gradients to create more volume. One secret to a visually rich comp is totest different textures and blending modes. My fav ones are: multiply, overlay andsoftlight. I also like to play with different opacities.

After I finish the vector process, I export my work for a final polishing in Photoshop. Atphotoshop I mix the vector with bitmap images, to achieve a more organic feel. I also use

the adjustment layers e test some colors adjustments, levels, curves, etc. And usebrushes.

Its common to make a lot of layers in Photoshop, and Its really easy to lose yourself inthe mess. Try to avoid that, and keep a file with the layers named in an appropriatemanner and use organized layer groups.

With the idea to create an organic look in mind, I blended the original vector illustrationswith hand drawn scribbles, to create a hybrid composition. I also added brushes, colorfulgradients, all in separated layers, preserving the original illustration.

And thats it. Now Its time to create the rest of the layout But thats for another makingof. Thanks for reading the whole post! If you want to read more nonsense from me, or for
