The following tutorial explains how I go about creating the illustrations you see here in my portfolio. All final art is done in Adobe Illustrator, a very powerful tool for creativity once you unlock the secrets of the pen tool. This tutorial does not go into how to use the program - you're on your own for that. What I do cover is how to achieve the effect, and the steps involved. And for those of you just interested in how it's done from a layman's point of view, this should give you a good idea of what it takes to create an image for all you current and potential clients out there.
This tutorial will take you step by step through the creaion of the "Lotto Lunatic" illustration above, created just for this how-to section.
It should be noted that there are numerous ways to go about things in any software program, and I have tried others. However, for the effect I desire this has been the method I use almost exclusively.
On to Step One…
