Flat Character Illustration with texture in Adobe Illustrator | Speed Art (Shopping Girl)

In today's Adobe Illustrator speed art video you'll see full illustration process from pencil sketch to finished flat character illustration with noise textures and textured outlines. In this illustration tutorial you'll learn how to adjust and use the blob brush to create monochrome vector shapes below the pencil sketch, how to pick textured brushes inside of Adobe Illustrator, how to use the shape builder tool and how to apply different types of noise textures using the appearance panel, opacity mask and gradients. All crucial moments are slowed down to normal speed and shown slowly, so you can easily learn new hints and use them to create your own illustrations.
