In this Illustrator tutorial, you’ll learn how to design a flat illustration inspired by the mushroom in Super Mario in just a few steps, including adding texture to it using a grain brush.

The first step is to start with a rough sketch in Procreate or on a piece of paper where you can explore your creativity.

The second step is to design the shapes that make up the flat illustration.
Usually, I tend to use the Pen tool for everything, but for this tutorial, I’d suggest trying to use the Ellipse tool.
Keep in mind that the sketch is only there for guidance, you shouldn’t try to replicate it perfectly, it
The next step is adding dimension to the flat illustration, but for that, we need to create a grain brush.
In the previous tutorial, I’ve started defining it using three random shapes, for this one I will use four.
My preferred method of shading in Illustrator is pretty straightforward, apply the color of the shape that’s below the one you’re shading on, giving the impression that it's blending. When you have a stronger color behind, it will look like a shadow, when you have a lighter color, it will look like a highlight.
Color scheme:
- Purple: 301069
- Darker Pink: cd376e
- Lighter Pink: f2a0a8

this means a lot to me, thank you so much for the support, have fun with it!
I'm glad I stumbled upon this first, rather than 10 videos later. Great stuff!
great way to create our own texture brushes.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Regards.

Draw inside. You can`t imagine how long I was searching for this hint. Thank you very very much.

The Grains made it more appealing. thanks for the video :)
Nice to hear that, it's pretty interesting how some texture can change the look of a flat illustration :) Thanks for watching!
@@CosminSerbanDesign yes,I do agree. Some textures take it the next level 😃

I am one year late but this is very helpful !!! Great job and thanks :)
Thank you very much
My pleasure Marlena!
Super cool. I wish I could see your layers file though (im always interested in seeing what layer files look like with illustrations like this)
Exercise files are in the description, you can download the vector files and have a look :)
Cosmin Serban im a bit weird, that part of the art is always amusing to me. Especially in Procreate. Love seeing the layers
@@OrincyWhyteDesigns I get how it might be fun haha - have a great Saturday ☀️
Thanks a lot! This is way better than install other brushes! +Sub! o/
Glad I could help!
I've been texturing like an idiot. Thank you SO MUCH!
No problem, this method is a bit easier in terms of not having textures spill over 🙏
@@CosminSerbanDesign I've been individually creating masks for each object manually instead of using Draw Inside and Draw Behind. 😭
@@the-good-chad so much easier this way haha
Buen tutorial, queria preguntarte algo ¿Que Ipad es el que usas?, podrías guiarme por que estoy buscando uno para comprar pero hay una gran variedad y nose cual es el que funciona mejor Procreate, Saludos desde Chile
Hola, estoy usando un iPad Pro 10.5 "y funciona muy bien con Procreate. Es increíble hacer ilustraciones.
You add texture so easy. I just purchase noise spaceship brush pack today. It's great but i'm bad at using illustrator. T.T
Thank you so much for your support! I think it takes time to get confortable with Illustrator, I think that's normal, so try to not be so hard on yourself. Keep practicing and you'll get there 👏👏👏
same. but let's have more practice
@@geremygallenero4300 really appreciate it, getting profficient at a skill is really up to how much patience you have with getting better at it. Keep practicing!
How did you add those subtle shadow lines visible before you use the texture brush?
Those were duplicates of the shape above, with the color of the background applied and a 10% opacity setting, hope this helps :)
hi, why is my drawing option is not allowing me to pick drawing inside
Maybe try to right click and either ungroup or release the clipping mask to be able to draw inside, hope it helps 🙏
I get lost at minute 03.00 which is the fundamental moment!!!!!
how do you go from drawing a line with pen tool to create the texture on that line?? !!!
Draw a path, select an empty fill and a color for the outline, then click once on the brush and it will be applied, let me know if this works.
How ca I avail Brushes?
Your exercise file not open in old version illustrator cc 2018 . can you please check it?
Send me an email at minucosminudesign@gmail.com and I'll send you files that work ✌
@@CosminSerbanDesign i have the same problem. will send you an email. plz kindly check. thank you :)
@@Thao.Nguyen sure, send it over.
@@Thao.Nguyen just sent you the updated file
Do you use a desktop when you transfer to AI?
Hi, nice pack, but for information the back you used is not 100% RGB black so its works well in CMYK but in RGB the stroke with your brush will be lighter than the fill with the same color below! Hope its helps you improve your pack.
Cheers
Thanks for pointing it out, I'll have to try and see - so if I create the brush with 100% black from default the shade of the color applied won't be affected, right?
@@CosminSerbanDesign I guess i should do the trick,for for example put your actual brushes ( the free ones) in a RGB document, do a square with 100% RGB black, then do a stroke with your brushes on it, the tint is greyish not black, then convert this same stroke with any regular illustrator brush and it will match the square's color.
I'm not an Adobe technician i'm just a regular designer so it's only my opinion. I never had trouble with other grain brushes like the gigantic one for example but i found youres interesting so i tried to fix it. Again this is for the free pack brush, maybe on youre gumroad arcadian pack it's fixed.
@@CosminSerbanDesign Yes, your black has to be 0 red, 0 Green and 0 Blue, at the moment it's R35 G31 B32, i just checked.
@@shureoner really appreciate it, just checked and it's only on the free brush. Next time I'll look for that to be set correctly in the exercise files 👏 have a great day!
@@CosminSerbanDesign Great! glad i could help, tell me when you upload the modified brushes that i can pick them!
this more like zero one from kirby 64 lol
