Texture illustration belongs to the category of graphic illustration in essence. Texture is made of graininess. Generally, particles are coated on the light receiving surface and backlight surface to increase the details and aesthetic feeling of the picture and make it more attractive. This technique is more common in combat illustrations.

Hand-painted illustration

Hand-drawn illustration itself also contains various styles, which are closely related to the shape, color matching and theme communication of the subject, and are more common in open-screen pages and active pages.

Stereographic illustration

Since last year, more and more 2.5D illustrations have appeared, which are common in web design and APP startup pages. Slight perspective enhances the interest of the picture and can better convey information.

How to make hand-drawn illustrations with AI 1 After opening AdobeIllustrator and creating a new document with a width of 850x850 pixels, we started to draw the head portrait, which is the same for all women. Use the ellipse tool (L) to draw an ellipse. In the picture below, you can see the fill color you need. Change this shape: enter effect > deformation > fish. Enter the options you see below and press OK.

2. For the eyes, first create a brown ellipse (using the ellipse tool (L)). Turn slightly to the left. Next, create a white ellipse in front of the brown (use Control-C and Control-F). Move diagonally downward to the right.

End your eyes with a small dark brown circle. To make a uniform circle, use the ellipse tool (L) while holding down the Shift key. Finally, group all eyes (right click >; Group).

Put your eyes on the left side of your head. Hold down the Alt key with the reflection tool (O) and click on the forehead. In the new dialog window, select vertical, with an angle of 90 degrees, and then press Copy. You should have two eyes by now.

4. Draw a small circle on the face where the nose is. Create another circle, keep it selected, pick up the eyedropper tool (I) and click on the face. Now, your new circle will get the same color as your face. Overlap the two circles so that you can see the shape of the new moon. This is the nose.

Use the same technique to create ears. Take the reflection tool (O), hold down the Alt key and click in the middle of the head. In the new dialog window, select vertical, with an angle of 90 degrees, and then press Copy. You should have two ears by now.

5. do eyebrows. Use the ellipse tool (L) to create a thin and horizontal black ellipse. Then use the direct selection tool (a) to select by dragging the top and bottom anchor points of the ellipse and sliding up. This will be the eyebrows. 6. Put your eyebrows on the left. Rotate at will, but you want to-just don't make her angry! Create another eyebrow using the same technique as creating eyes and ears. Now you have two eyebrows.

7. To draw the mouth, draw a new horizontal ellipse. Select this new ellipse and transform them by clicking the left and right anchor points with the Transform Anchor Point Tool (Shift-C). Create a new white ellipse (Control-C, Control-F) in front. Shrink it, but make sure the white ellipse stays inside the brown ellipse. It is important to combine the whole mouth.

After that, influence > twist > arc, and enter the options you see below.

8. Using the rectangle tool (M), add a rectangle under the head to create the neck. It should be the same color as the face. In the selected state, go to Effect >；; Distortion > highlights. In the new dialog window, enter the options shown in the figure below. Expand the shape (object >；; Expand the appearance).

9. To finish the head, let's add some curly hair. Draw a big circle behind your head. Leave it selected and go to object > path > add anchor. Do this a few times and you will notice how to add anchor points evenly on the circle.

Then go to the effect >; Distortion and deformation >: folding and expansion. In the new dialog window, move the slider to the right to get 6%, and then press OK. You should finally look like curly hair. Don't forget to enlarge this shape (object >；; Expand the appearance).
