How to Achieve these Illustration Styles?

[joe_1137]

Hi all,

I’ve come across an illustration style that I really like and I’m trying to figure out how to recreate something similar in Adobe Illustrator. It has a [describe the style briefly – e.g., "bold, flat colour look with minimal linework" or "textured, hand-drawn feel with grain and shading"].

Can anyone guide me on what tools, brushes, or techniques I should be using to get this look? Happy to share a reference image if needed.

Thanks in advance!

1: probably blends (would depend on whether you want this blocky look in the strokes?)

3. blends (I would first draw create those round parts and then add the straight lines to that)

4 Zig zag effect in Photoshop, then trace it
