Illustration Tutorial: Uncover the Layers to the Perfect Artwork
Advertising is an interesting profession and those who work within it know of the everyday humps and bumps, the charm and harm that one has to deal with. As an Illustrator, when the brief is, as usual, a one liner and non-directional; in this case 'create an illustration on advertising', the job can be pretty tough. Many images and situations come to mind, and after you've decided which one you'd like (and the client would too), that's when the real work begins. Illustrator, Nithin Rao Kumblekar, takes us through the key steps (illustration tutorial) to arrive at the cover illustration done for this issue's cover.

Give a monochromatic tone on the entire sketch and decide the light source and the reflection. This gives a fair idea about the final look.
