Creating Chinese Angpao Artwork using Default Brushes in Adobe Illustrator

Welcome to my latest video where I take you through the creation process of a Chinese Angpao inspired by the recent Chinese New Year festivities. Watch as I craft a Chinese wood dragon artwork in Adobe Illustrator using only default brushes.
In this tutorial, I'll demonstrate how I create custom brushes to bring this design to life. Follow along as I walk you through the 3 key stages of the artistic process: sketching, lining, and coloring, each contributing to the final piece.
Stay till the end to witness the unveiling of the completed artwork, presented in a traditional Chinese Angpao.

I liked that u included ur free time in the video, some times in this kind of videos looks like the ilustrator works continuously, but take breaks and give air to the workflow is part of the creation peocess too.

1. You are way too good in illustration, story telling and editing for your channel to be that small, that's illegal.
2. This look absolutely stunning
3. I never thought that illustrator could be THAT good at illustration's...
4. you made me want to pick my tablet once more even though i'll give up after 10mins but still, thanks.

doing this process on the Ipad has increased my workflow incredibly, ive been doing it solo in Illustrator for years wit the same process but it always felt too restricted, as an artist we work best when digital feels as natural as traditional so working in a non vectorized app really gives more freedom to the "sketching" part

[@VixenYoung]

so glad you walked us through your process! It’s so mesmerizing! Pls do more 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@soorajsaikumar]

Damn, the process from start to finish is astonishing!! Thank you for the step by step artwork on this!

[@1superMADpickle]

Sir, this was an incredibly helpful and educational video on culture, design, work methods and process, and almost entirely in a way that is in real time in pacing.

Hiiii, love your artstyle! I switched to digital drawing in PS after the trauma of doing vector artworks in AI using a mouse. I just realize how easy it is do that using a pentablet rather than a mouse. CAN YOU PROVIDE A TUTORIAL ON YOUR PROCESS? LYK SHORTCUT AND HACKS TO SPEED UP YOUR DRAWING PROCESS PLSSS!!

[@SantoPaPao]

[@napostrophen]

Is there somewhere you talk about why you use illustrator vs photoshop or others like CSP?

[@PochoNieves]

@Kensuke Creations, I built my brushes and I named them Kensuke Sketch and Kensuke Inking, LOL!
Question, after I built them, I noticed that my brushes are not as smooth as yours.
Is there some setting you have so your are smooth brush strokes? Even if I just do really quick strokes they don't look like yours... help!
I want to draw Naruto beating Batman!

[@dirtiestharry6551]

What is the tool being used at 7:43? Are you using pen tool and than using shift+X ?(Edit: Just learned what pencil tool does in illustrator! Our school only thought me how to use mouse on illustrator so it was never brought up lol)
