Learning Retro Futurist Illustration


I began the project by scouring my Pinterest boards for inspiration. I had quite a few examples of 'retro-futurist' styles but want to bring in other inspiration from vintage logos and book covers.
In addition to Ada's guidance, I included some inspiration for colours. I gathered these up on Mac's 'Freeform' app.
I then sketched out lots of ideas for forms based on the resource. 




Two compositional concepts began to form from the ideas I sketched.


I took these into Procreate and followed Ada's excellent tuition.





'ADA'


'OTTO'


A nice way to finish off the course was to strip the illustrations back into patterns and then apply them to mockups. 






Very grateful to Ada for being so generous with her process. 

Check out her fabulous work on Instagram.
