Or, create some colored rectangles.

Select them and choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Mesh.

Use the Direct Selection Tool to move the anchor points and direction handles of the mesh.

You have options in Object > Envelope Distort to edit the content or the mesh.

I do not have a video about it, but this is what I would do:

You need the pencil tool

Blends (and expanding blends)

Live paint (then expand live paint)

Outline stroke

Pathfinder Merge

@ Monika

Googal language converter says "Konturlinie - Contour Line" I assume this is incorrect translation. Correct one is "outline stroke".
