For this class project create a minimalist illustration.

Start by creating a sketch.
Render your illustration in Adobe Illustrator focusing on a limited color palette, value and contrast. Feel free to use my color palette (find it in the pdf under the resources tab) or create your own. Don’t forget to use a color accent!
Make your vector illustration feel more hand crafted by adding rough textures to the edges of the objects in Photoshop. Be mindful about where you apply this effect. Think of how an object you are working on looks in real life. Does it have fuzzy or silky texture? Is it natural for it to have rough edges/lines? You can make exceptions of course but remember to keep it balanced.
As a final touch, add highlights and shadows using Adobe Photoshop brushes.

Don't forget to share your progress as you go and your final pieces in the project section of this class.

Feel free to reach out and ask me any questions by creating a discussion under this class.
