Illustrator how-to guides

  • Blue Mirror

    Blue Mirror

    Greg Geisler’s inspiration: "I’m a huge fan of the German Expressionists and their figurative work. I try, with my renderings of the human face, to express a similar depth of emotion."

    Download the source file >

  • Concert Undersea

    Concert Undersea

    Shadow Chen’s inspiration: "I work by feel…I get inspired by emotions, like when you hear music you want to sing along or dance. When the feeling comes I just have to draw and paint."

    Download the source file >

  • La Comedie des Arts

    La Comedie des Arts

    Emmanuel Romeuf’s inspiration: "I like to look to the past for ideas. Bosch, Puccini, Duchamp, Dali, Mallarmé, Vian, Masson, and Gropius are among my influences. Even today, their work makes us travel, discover, think, understand, extrapolate, and maybe look at things a little bit differently."

  • Crowd

    Crowd

    Joel Cocks’s inspiration: "Body language has especially fascinated me since I moved to Melbourne, where at the busiest time of day people appear to move in swarms. Individuals melt into the crowd and the crowd takes on an expression of its own."

  • Rise Together

    Rise Together

    Christian San Jose’s inspiration stemmed from the Tropical Storm Ketsana that ravaged his homeland, the Philippines: "For me, the camaraderie — everybody rising together out of such tragedy — was an inspiring idea to focus on for the artwork."

  • Materia

    Materia

    Philippe Intraligi’s inspiration: "I find it fascinating and unimaginable how microchip architecture might be combined with organic material to create synthetic life. I tried to capture the moment of fusion that might happen between organic and non-organic material."

  • Myasthenia Gravis

    Myasthenia Gravis

    Mark M. Miller’s inspiration: "For me, illustration begins with a love of science. It excites me that with each new project I have an opportunity to pass on a little of my passion to the audience."

  • Local Fare

    Local Fare

    Nick Zegel's inspiration: "While art directing an upcoming surfing film in South America and the Caribbean, I became attracted to the vibrant colors and the hand-painted, weathered signs there."

  • Living on a heart grunge

    Living on a Heart Grunge

    Dhanank Pambayun's inspiration: "These days, my influences include Tim Burton, Mati Klarwein, Raden Said, and Isaac Newton — they all inspire my taste, ideas, and style. I really love mysticism and computer graphics, so I mix them into my artwork."

  • Loyal Order of Wormwood

    Loyal Order of Wormwood

    Von Glitschka's inspiration: "I never know when or where inspiration will come. Most often it's captured initially via a simple doodle. Then at a later point in time I take that doodle and flesh it out into a refined sketch. Once my drawing is exactly the way I like it, I simply scan it in and start building my vector art."

  • Shell City

    Shell City

    Matt Huynh's inspiration: "For me, comics are the clearest means of engaging audiences. I use the medium to find surprising ways to connect with audiences, both on a purely visceral level and to challenge conceptions of personal and communal identity."

  • In the Cradle of the Deep

    In the Cradle of the Deep

    Jory Dayne's inspiration: "I love the lines of comic books and the colors of old Disney cartoons. Sometimes a good idea feels like it's something you have to really fight for, something you have to snatch and run."

  • Magic Paintbrush

    Magic Paintbrush

    William Chua Tiong Keng's inspiration: "The magic of inspiration is that once it strikes, the idea flows smoothly from the artist's brush. Hence, it is my hope that every artist finds their inspiration easily, and with a wave of their brush, the creation turns out as magnificent as the dragon symbolizes."
