How to Emulate Illustration Styles in 5 Steps

Whether you’re a freelance designer/illustrator or working in a small studio, crafting illustrations in a range of styles to express a brand’s distinctive personality is highly invaluable.

At Farm Design, we enjoy creating thoughtful illustrations to support a brand’s unique story. Carol, designer and illustrator, is excited to share with you how she breaks down her tried-and-true formula on emulating illustration styles outside of her own. In this video, she demonstrates the 5-Step process through the illustrations created for the Bivouac Ciderworks packaging.

We understand that developing illustrations can be a daunting process, but we believe that it’s a skill that can be learned. The key takeaway here is to prepare the right tools that will guide you when crafting any illustration. We hope this video inspires illustrations on your next project!
