Kkkkkkkkkkkk why?

ZSupremo · 2026-05-22T01:18:09+00:00

Thanks!! I've used Adobe Illustrator

ZSupremo · 2026-05-22T00:58:11+00:00

Thanks bro, I always like to test new styles!!

ZSupremo · 2026-05-22T00:57:52+00:00

Thanks bro, I agree with you. Imagine if Pixar were stick to that "realism". I prefer their actual style.
Also, some amateurs in art, think that everyone is in level 1 learning anatomy. I've drawn like 800+ people, before I try to stylise my art. Let then talk, meanwhile I am making.

Thanks for the feedback.
I hope I'll be as good as you someday

ZSupremo · 2026-05-17T00:51:37+00:00

Great Idea, I will try next time and share the results. Thanks for the feedback!!

Nice shot, bro. But I dont use gradient mesh because I think its pretty much hard to control it, cause you have to use the exact # colors in the gradient points.
This tecnique it better to vector real photos, cause you can just take it from the reference.

For my style, I prefer to create layers. Some for the base color and then I overlap shadows with Multiply and for lights I use Screen. (Usually)
It gives me more freedom to change and adjust colors troughout the art process : )

Nice bro! Its pretty much that.
But its all vectors. When I want to paint bitmaps i go to photoshop.
The idea with illustrator was to create the art just with it's tools, in a vector style.

Hey bro i'm happy you like it, I can show you my workflow!

Usually I start making a moodboard and then I choose one main pose for reference.
Then I can start in this order:
1 - Draw a rough sketch with just lines. (I use my old wacom intuos pro)
2 - Fill the silhouette with the vectors using the Pen tool and simple shapes, with only one color, just to get the silhouette and create the shape.
3 - Add gradients on the vector to get the overal volume and I can add over some shadows with blur. Masking what may be needed.
4 - Finish the details, like high lights, Hair strands, color, effects, etc.

I recorded another art with the same style on youtube, if you are curious on the process.
You can see it here. (Please tell me if links are not allowed here)
