In this tutorial, we'll draw a stylish book composition in Adobe Illustrator.
I'll show you the entire illustration process: from simple shapes and composition to color, decorative details, and typography.
We'll create a warm, retro illustration with the feel of naive (childish) graphics and explore how to make even simple elements look interesting and cohesive.
In this tutorial, you'll learn:
- how to build a composition from multiple books
- how to work with simple shapes in Illustrator
- how to choose a harmonious color palette
- how to add a hand-drawn, slightly imperfect graphic effect
- how to use lettering as part of an illustration
- how to add small decorative elements and bring life to the work
This illustration can be used for posters, postcards, prints, book-themed designs, educational projects, social media, and stock images.
If you draw with me, be sure to show me your creations and tag me on Instagram.
