How To Create a Retro Style Cartoon Character Illustration (+ FREE Halftone Brushes!)

In today’s Illustrator and Photoshop tutorial I’m going to take you through the process of creating a mid-century illustration, complete with distressed print effects. I’ll show you how to achieve the visual traits that give the artwork the appearance of a retro matchbook print, such as the use of limited colours, halftone shading, misregistration effects, and the all-important old paper texture that turns the clean and crisp vector illustration into a nostalgic cartoon that is full of character! ⭐️ Get Your .design Domain Free for the First Year - 📦 Join my mailing list and get a FREE design resources bundle! - 🙏 I don’t have a Patreon, but if you want to support my work, consider becoming an Access All Areas member on Spoon Graphics - ► Download the initial sketch - ► Download my Free Vector Halftone Patterns - ► Download my Subtle Grunge PS Brushes - ► Old Paper Background by Krasovski Dmitri - ► Signpainter Housescript - (No longer on Adobe Fonts.
