How I make things ‘pop’ in my illustration work. Swipe through for the Illustrator process homies! 100% made in Adobe Illustrator, 95% vector (just added one raster texturing image set to overlay :) )

Inspired by an amazing person that got me excited to make art again

I’m stuck! Help me out homies, just a little creative block picking a color scheme.

Once I get past this it will be hours of texturing and adding ‘pop’ for me haha. I’d absolutely appreciate
your input!

This piece will turn into a series of tutorials where I go over texturing/lighting/unorthodox Illustrator techniques. Pretty pumped to get all this moving!

Let me know in the Poll, or leave a comment… Especially if you don’t like any of them!

New Goal: I’m going to teach you everything I know!

I’ll start with the foundation that brought me to where I am today, and how I’ve been creating for some time now.

Along with this you’ll also be learning along with me as I adopt new techniques and processes to my flow.

I’ll work on providing as many free assets as I can (free Illustrator/Photoshop files, source files, etc) for your reference to study and break down 👊

The creative journey never ends, and I’ve always felt blessed that you all stuck around with me homieees.

Comment for the files, but also feel free to ask any questions on the process too!

I know I’m a bit late with this, but this post is so important to me.

2025 was all about the homies (and Japan travel lol). I learned so much from all of you, cherished our time together, and formed priceless memories.

It wasn’t easy: It was a year of loss, mega lows & ultra highs, daunting challenges to overcome… But you all gave me the foundation to power through. Because of YOU it became an incredible year.

Biggest thing I’ve RE-learned in 2025: Focus on that foundation. Great people that keep you planted/strong, and genuinely want the best for you. Just like a well-built house or structure, and strong foundation helps you weather the storm, drown out the noise, and puts you in the best position to face challenges.

Deepest apologies for not being able to include everyone that has shaped me last year in this slideshow. Even those that simply sent me nice messages, followed me, shared cool things, etc: You all deserve to be in here. Thank you all for an incredible 2025

ONWARD Homies!
