the Process - An Affinity Designer vector portrait of J Dilla in 8 mins

This vector illustration took 4.5hrs in Affinity Designer to complete and I somehow edited it down to 8 mins. I discuss why I color the illustration fully then add additional lighting after, how I structure my line weights for better contrast, plus other vector tips, a wide assortment of uhs, and ya knows. This illustration was used for an article on OKAYPLAYER.com As always, I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments. Be kind to yourself and take no advice.
